Wow, nostalgia. Thanks for posting that, Janeway. Haven't heard some of these names in a long time.

I stayed out of internet drama for the most part, some trollbaiting aside. I had beef with that fella Kosh, aside from his generally repugnant worldview I can't remember what it was all about. It seemed to matter at the time, like so much of this teenage rubbish. I don't like to fight, but i'm a stubborn person and I do love to take the piss (you may have noticed).

FWIW i'm still on Facebook with Stevie and Spiess, and I think they're a really sorted and cool couple who I can't really connect in my head with all this unpleasantness some of you guys have described. But I think they've both sworn off messageboards, so maybe they knew the environment wasn't bringing out the best in them.

NoSleep was a real character, but I think he meant well. He was the only person I remember corresponding with by PM at ST.COM. He was clearly from a troubled background- if he was still alive I like to think he'd either be the world's biggest hipster or he'd be in prison. I lit a candle in St Paul's Cathedral for him. He was pretty strongly anti-religion but he had a sense of humour, so I think he would have got a kick out of that.

I was in Excal, where I read endless threads about how awful Scooby was but never really got any clear idea what she'd done to earn her reputation. I'm still none the wiser! Rajiin was always trying to flirt but I think was a bit flummoxed that I didn't respond in kind. That's not really how I like to act online. Beccs I think turned out to be not who she claimed she was, maybe even a guy, I dunno. MinervaMoon was fun, and she remains the only person from any of these boards that i've met in real life- every couple of years she saves up to visit the UK, and we'll normally make a date and have some crazy adventure together.

I was also at Nexus. CroBob was a funny guy, but like NoSleep I think he was the sort of poster you either loved or hated. I always thought if a younger Eminem had spent all his time messing around on the internet instead of doing music, he would have been Crobob.

I swore off message boards for a while because I thought they were wasting too much of my time, and sometimes if things got a bit heated I didn't like the way I was behaving. You know, I was 17 when I joined ST.COM and i'm 28 now. You gain perspective with age. I don't miss any of those other boards. Too cliquey, and I was always an outsider because I didn't buy into that stuff.
