I am feeling awful nostalgic right now. And sad. But does anyone remember all the really old people who are now departed and have been for a long time? Guys like North Eastern Europe, The Red Arrow/MKULTRA? Do you remember Pet and Iki's coffee and bookshops, do you remember the Volcano, remember word games and Ur6? That was back in the old days when most of you were not even born. I was there though. *sigh* I remember the first Paradise Beach Club. Old times, good times.

And this one isn't all that long ago: GODAD (was that their abbreviation?) and their "invincable" underwater bubble filled with billions of people.

I only looked at the first page so I don't know if it has been answered yet, but it was Fua. It got deleted though, and a replacement forum known as FP was made.

As far as the pop up ads though, that was bull. I never once saw any ads of the sort.
