Gregory's Server@megmac I haven't been here long but I like what I see so far. This dates me a bit but it reminds me of things like IRC - a bunch of independent groups/servers that just chose to connect and collaborate. There was no one body controlling content or deciding what the community was. Communities decided for themselves and if they didn't get along they just didn't talk to each other.
@megmac I know a lot of people these days don't have the patience to go searching for forums or learn things like IRC commands, and certainly forums and IRC were far from perfect, but it sure seemed to feel a lot freer when there wasn't a constant fear of some Big Bad screwing everything up.
