OK -- you be Jane!
Actually, what's surprising is the fact that STU, Stu, and S.T.U. are all already taken. I know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but really...!

A number of LWMBPers made the excursion (Blockade Boy, Icy, Space Ranger, jimgallagher, EDE, STU, Nightcrawler ~ did I miss anyone?) Unfortunately it seemed (to me at least) that we were pretty much the only ones around. There were a couple of other posters that I remember from before including Ontir and Matachine. Very little activity and hardly any interaction.
It's still a very annoying & frustrating board in general (I had forgotten just how frustrating!) and I find it next to impossible to enjoy myself while I'm there.
Perhaps some future recruit will stumble upon our posts and be drawn here but I don't think we'll see anyone in the immediate future as there just didn't seem to be anyone there!
Thanks again & again to Gary & Scott for giving us Legion World! This place is SO much better than anyplace else on the net!

PS: These are just my impressions. I'll be curious to see what others experienced.

I popped over, made one post and was so underwhelmed by it all I scurried back home here as fast as my mouse could take me!

Incidentally, mattachine = our own li'lrhino.
Yeah, the whole thing seemed a bit lackluster though. I wasn't feeling all that inspired, anyway, and for some reason it seemed like I was barely interacting with the rest of you guys, much less native posters.
My favorite post I made was actually over on the "DC message boards" forum, in a thread called "I'm confused and frightened". I was complaining about the mixed messages sent by the banner advertisments, but was pretty radically misinterpreted...

To say things are slow over there is an understatement. When I first came to the DC boards back in the day (before all of you I believe except Grey and maybe Dev), there were a ton of posters. Eventually, there was an enormous amount of posters, so many that a thread was going strong one day and would be buried on page three the next. It sure doesn't seem like that anymore...
It of course makes me wonder what all those old posters have been up! You know, I think I may have to start a whole new mission, and start emailing onld LMBers (and any other poster you remember talking to) and letting them know the link to Legion World and where we all are. That's what Bri-Seahorse did for me a few years back and I was so touched that he thought of me that I came back and had another good run with the LMB! Hm, I may have to do this soon...does anyone have emails for old LMBers. I guess I could try the Yahoo site, and hope a lot of people still have the same email. This shouldn't just apply to LMBers either, but all old posters (and new) who are a lot of fun!

Alright, my nostalgia for Bri-Seahorse doing that for me made me crack and I've emailed a bunch of old LMBers. The only problem is that I used the email addresses on the Yahoo site, and I don't know if their still any good. I emailed Yellow Kid, Dedman, Sasha, Shady and Galahadran, and told them all to come join us sometime (and also gave them our best and asked how everything was going). If you guys can think of anymore LMBers to do this for (Terrence, Mart, Kid Psychout, etc.), you should! The only problem is finding an email address for them!
So far, it seems that Shady's email wasn't delivered. Damn, I hope that at least some of them were. If anyone knows more up to date emails for them, let me know! Oh, and does anyone have Bri-Seahorses' email so I could say hello to him some time?
And I think Paul McNeil, Duplicate Man and Mondo Joe are around here sometimes, although I haven't really seen them yet! I hope they post more (along with Therod, Dev and Faraway and others) when they get the chance!
If the DC boards are going to suck, we'll bring all the fun people here!

Kid Psychout's around here occasionally (I believe I saw him a couple of nights ago).
Shady's registered here, but never posted. I hope everything's okay with her.
