Damn!

I haven't been in the Warrior Hall in years.

Not sure that I want to start that again.

Yikes... I think I remember some of those HeroChip "debates" with Cray...  ::)

He still shows up on HMP from time to time. :O Oddly, I haven't interacted with him on FB.  Probably for the better.

(Yes, he has an account, no, I'm not linking to it.)

And there was Danny Frost, as well, the Satanic Hamster. I wonder what ever happened to him....

want the scary part? people are still reading (and even reposting) fan-fictions I did on the OLD Battletech boards back around 2002-2005.

which is just...weird as hell.  a lot of the newer stuff is Better than mine.

Don't sell yourself short... Your stuff is good, and I'm not surprised it's been reposted since.  I won't argue with you about the quality of others' work, but yours belongs here right alongside that newer stuff.

Second that.  I have a folder with all sorts of great fanfics saved.  There are some really talented writers sharing.

Rage & SJW used to crack me up.
