Whatever became of...

Actually with people fleeing Twitter to Mastodon there could be a fresh familiarity with bulletin-board style posting, especially with how Mastadon has each board having it's own local rules.

Oh, that could be, too!

You never know. If the reboot of Highlander *ever* happens it might breathe new life into the forum.

I think the format is now too alien to some people.

I remember the hack well, but I have forgotten how many years ago that it occurred. Actually, the Board came back pretty well after the hack. A lot of members came back after they were contacted by other members. But, attendance slowly fell off as more and more members migrated over to Facebook.

I wouldn't know. So did the wheels just fall off when the forum was hacked? Or did people just abandon ship before it was targeted?

Haven't a clue! I didn't even know it had been hacked. I guess they just stopped spending money on it.

[Dragon Katana]

It did have several extenuating circumstances to excuse the quiet. Like no longer being run...

It's a real shame what happened to this board. It was once a hive of activity.

I'm on FB, and I know a few. But time keeps passing, and we lose some of ours.

I used to exchange the occasional email with Mathpiglet and Kat, but its been a few years. I emailed with Prima Donna quite often for a number of years, but she just disappeared from here and the net some years ago. I have often wondered what happened to her.

I don't do Facebook either.

[Dragon Katana]

I'll attempt to breathe some new life into this old thread - does anyone still maintain contact with any of the HLBB crew? I don't use Facebook at all so I don't know if any of the boys and girls are active on there. Just curious.

[Coolwater]

So age and experience are not with out perks!

[RedVelvet]

I did go through a pretty horrible time for a while, but I am doing great now.

[n107]

RV here! Just joined up again. How have you been?

Wow! A name I remember (after being reminded via random emails)! I hope you're doing just as well as before. And if you were doing horribly before, then I hope you're doing better than that.

[RedVelvet]

Hory shitto, apologies for the double post but I'm sure it won't break the flow of the nonstop posting going on around here.

After my last post. Like, a second after, I thought, "Wasn't there someone called Najiba on the HLBB that I was close with?" I decided to do a search for her name in my inbox and I pulled up a couple emails related to the board from 2002 and 2003. The names that came out: Najiba, nfalconer, RedVelvet, TheKuya... Wow! Talk about nostalgia. I barely remember anything about them and I have no idea what the hell we were going on about in the mail (what the hell is Team Alpha?) but... memories, man. What ever happened to them. Oh, Huntress too. Where are these peeps?

That was back when I was a useful, contributing member so you know that was ages ago. Good times.

Maybe those are the idiots I keep running into on another message board. Navel gazing liberal know it alls

[HL1]

I used to talk to Cabbage a lot. Have no clue what happened to him.

[HL1]

This is the post office lady, lol. Did not vanish from the net, but didn't join the FB group and on regular FB I'm friends with very few of the original HLBB members.

[Mickey]

Huntress sounds familiar. The other two, not so much.

They were brothers. Canadians, I believe.

[Andrew NDB]

I miss the Preying Mantis and the Sleeping Fox. I think they disappeared around the time Huntress did.

...............Lol

[Mickey]

Drunk darts, eh? I'm really looking forward to it.

I really need Nick to keep me pointed in the right direction.

Hey Drak and Trixie. Missed you guys. Things are going great.

To keep with the thread:

Hi Micky! How are things?
