The David Carson Series, started with Trouble in Frontier County, went to Blood and Gold and finally Hard Times which eventually had to move to Google Docs were another highlight for me. Really gave me a liking for western fiction and the setting of the old west in general, and I believe it was my longest running continuous thread, started in December 2010 and was semi-active until 2016 or so. Cold Streets, a gang thread, wasn't particularly continuous or long-running but had roughly 40 'sequel threads' and the prison series started with Prison Life in 2007 and went on perhaps too long. It would pop up, get banned and turn up again a couple weeks later like a bad penny. Mod Mark H was no fan of mine I suppose, but he turned out to be a pretty cool guy and I hope he's doing alright nowadays. Same goes for all of the forum mods, though we certainly had our quarrels and differences of opinion.
Some of the names I remember best: Laser Skunk, D F Angel, Karkingjack [RIP], Jedi 92892, Joepresty, Darragh44, Lady Kayko, Ttocs, Merky, CaptLasky, Jason Vane, Chocobroco, Fperson, Marine825, Kruker, Tri, Sir_Murray93, No Bull, Tigerruby, Callums2, Murder-X and Nauset [best mod] and don't be mad if you're not listed here because there's absolutely no way I could list everyone I remember lmao. I got through a lot of very shitty times and terrible years thanks to the forum, the people listed here and so many more besides. Some of the people listed were basically a second family to me for many years, I remember a whole bunch of late nights shooting the shit on MSN and particularly remember playing a shit-ton of COD4 with No Bull right after it came out.
RP and writing used to make up such a cornerstone of my life but like so many other things, gradually drifted away for various reasons. But, I still remember most of it.
Anyway, thanks for the memories, good luck and God bless. Sad to see it go but I guess it was inevitable and I haven't been helping much with the inactivity.
