I went back the next day and randomly looked through the years 2001 through 2011; randomly at each month. If you use it, you'll understand. And everything comes up. And all this was before the first time I stopped by, which I think was about four or five years ago. Late 2006 or early 2007. But there wasn't, if I recall correctly, all that there used to be. I mean, flash fiction that was seperate from contests; both side by side. The same authors had multiple flash stories; which was okay, as the rules stated. Everything looked different, too. But what got me most was the forums. Yeah. You can go back and read all the forums. The forums used to be alive. hour by hour, day to day, people discussing the stories. Granted, most were had to do with the flash fiction, but that was because there were alot through those years.
That was a great ride back. What a grand place there used to be.
Just one question: is there a reason why flash fiction seperate from contests are no longer around? That seemed to be Anotherealm's bread and butter. Brought alot of folks through; good ones and the loudmouths (all boards have your braggarts and chest-thumpers, it seems). Unless there is a technical reason that I haven't read about (I haven't yet read ALL the posts here. The recent ones), maybe it should be thought about to bring back the crowds? Just thniking out loud here. Cause, boy; there were alot of folks up in here at one time. Like a houseparty.
