Life on the Forum

What amazed me is how it brought back memories I had forgotten, because like here, we often talked of home and family life. Twice our gaming squad met personally and several of us even went to a funeral of one of our friends. I even found a thread I started with pics of the birth of my son...how cool. Time past, people slowly moved on until everyone went their separate way

It made me appreciate this forum even more. Who knows, years down the road, I'll come back and relive more memories. Keep it going Neal...!

Yes, I have to agree, forums and their communities are special places. Just think, we came into a new social medium (Internet forums) nearly at the beginning. I wish I had some way to go back and capture the data from the Subsim EZboard and Matt's phpBB days. Still, having archives from 2002 forward is pretty cool.
