for me it was the days of mopsquad records.pete lamont really did something special there.the label had it's own forum that pete ran.big ole asshole was the anti pete with his antipop records.i cant really remember any other labels,but i'm sure they were around.oh, there was wp records.aka white pride records.ran by a guy named mike fern,mike and this guy named syco got into some hellacious fights.

then there was the petering out of things when carl went pay to play.so john faye,christope deckers,and myself toured subways and drank vanilla extract since we lost all our millions.jeany vixen might have been there too...maybe adam winter too.

one of my favorite people was jude duffy.he ran a band called sundays in june.a real nut job who i loved.he really inspired some great things out of people.

when was this? possibly 99 or 2000.rince was mod,and we had one of the most ill tempered admins ever.i forget his name,but i remember he was either in,or was in the israeli army.

that was Vus..... erich...

and erm i reckon that was around about 04... some good times and a massive massive RP forum, never really been that big again since..

it was that recent? i swear that was before i was married.i guess you'd know better than i.my memory isnt what it once was.whatever became of vus?
those were some good,good days.

Probably 08' in it's entirety more-so than late 07' due to my band actually topping the charts and actually being able to roleplay. 09' was a dead year for me on a universal sense for me.

Without a doubt 2005 - 2006. There was a million times more activity in RP than there is now, and there were labels which lasted, bands which put real work into stuff, properly arranged festivals, rivalries, a real community...

Now, save for a few, its just a waste of time, one line RPs, bands and other ventures that last like a week two weeks (I include my own recent RP activity in that last criticism btw). Some people try (you and I know who you are), and Im not getting at them, but the majority dont.

Anyhow, back on topic, 2005/6 was the best time, by far.

I wouldn't say I take it too seriously at all. As I said in my last post, had you in fact even bothered to read it properly, I am one of the people who I feel have let the section down quite a bit. I dont have a problem in the slightest with people wanting to post little bits of RP just for fun...but I fail to see the fun in writing, once a week, "<Insert band here> has released <insert album/single name here>. The tracks are 1. <track one> 2. <track 2> and 3. <track 3>." They cannot honestly be getting anything out of it. And it just clogs the section up with pish.

All I was saying was that back in those days, it was better, hence why I choose not to RP at all now. There was a community feel, which is entirely vital for an RP section to work, because people interacted and commented on each others work, and some collaborated on each other's RPs to d semake it enjoyable all round. Now, it's, in my opinion, not anywhere near as fun as that.

There is a difference between forming an opinion based on experience and self righteousness.

Ok, maybe I worded what I meant to say a little wrongly. "Letting the side down" is probably not the right way to put it across. Of course no one is letting anyone down, no one is obligated to anyone else in any way, shape or form. I think Id just like the game side of the forum to have maintained the same community feel it once had.

2007 baby. I miss the plots we made - intricate destruction with Gemma, the waging of war with Raven, and being a naughty child with Lewis ....
I don't really think that there's any way that we can bring the old ways back, save for emptying the forum into a wheelie bin, SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY, and starting afresh with 'my forum, my rules'. ;)

Skullkrusher. :3
