Ashly asked if I had the link to the old Experiment Lab...and...as it turns out, I did, buried in my Bookmarks.

Man...nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.

Met Jimp there. Became best friends with him, still am.

Tsuki was there. Best friends with him still.

Shok was there too. Still best friends with him.

Ashly was there. Still good friends with her.

Brandi and Brandon were both there. I try to keep in touch with them, but they're usually basis.

Joel, Cole, a couple other people...I still keep in contact with them on a off-and-on basis.

Pyreo, Kila, Frostbite, Sunburn, Nuker, Boh, Natsu, Breta... I knew them. Past tense intentional, I /knew/ them, but we probably can't relate anymore. Never got terribly close to many of them.

Natalie...why was it that it was just when we had become what I could consider to be great friends that it all ended?

Heh. Parrotfan, Austin, Mini....they sure kept the last year of the forum interesting.

I find it funny....we didn't keep the forum going as long as we did because of Lilo and Stitch. We didn't keep it going because of shared interests. We kept it going because we were friends...I guess when the first of us began to drift, we all began to drift. Some of us stuck together in small groups, but none of us kept contact with everyone.

Still...it's amusing to look at the forum. For all the good and the bad, for every fight and every laugh...man. I can see why I got in so many arguments on there. I was impatient, less mature than I am now, and I had no grasp of debate. I can see why I made so many friends, as well...I only hope I retained the qualities that made me interesting.

If anyone wants to take a look, here's the link: s11.invisionfree.com/Experimen…

Remember, this forum is dead by 2, 2 and a half years now. We tried to revive it once, here: s8.invisionfree.com/Experiment… one, however, also died. We attracted just a few people, not enough to do any good.

Unless you're an admin on either of them, please don't do anything to them other than just look. If you have to create a account to view, go ahead, but...unless we get a bunch of people this time, we don't need to resurrect a dead forum. It would be easier to just make a new one.


EDIT: It appears a movement to revive the forum is actually underway. Only five people have returned (including myself), so...it's not alot. But maybe more will come. If you're interested, come on in. I won't make any promises of a great rebuilding, buuuut...maybe we can at least build it up to some activity again! *Old messages and stuff are still intact, we've just started posting a couple new ones*

EDIT II: The board appears to be offline. None of us are sure why. Did Invisionfree decide to close it? Did Natalie or another admin nuke it? Is it just server issues? We don't know. So for the moment, everything is on hold. Updates will announced as they occur.

EDIT III: The board has been offline for several hours now with no update as to 'why'. On the assumption it is down for good, Ashly came up with an alternative (I came up with the banner), which can be found here: z15.invisionfree.com/Experimen… needs posting activity, but other than that it's pretty set up for now, though the buttons may change in the future.

I have to say just one thing...in case anyone from the old days is still watching me, still looking at anything I might say or do...I wouldn't change a thing that happened on that forum. I only wish we'd kept better contact with each other after it died.

Ah, the old days. I heard about it, but I never really visited - Breta's RP board (and later, Sammy's"Stitch Freaks" board) were my usual hangouts. There was also this RP board on Yahoo Groups that unfortunately died just as it was ganing momentum, since the board's admin basically fell off the end of the earth.

For my part, I simply started doing too many things to keep up apperances. I kinda wish that the communities stayed around, but it is what it is, I guess.
