[QUOTE="Khaira, post: 3269262, member: 37069"] As best I can recall ... I've been doing this for about 10 or 11 years. That's LARGELY a guess/prediction based on mine and other peoples' memories and recollections. I'm really not entirely sure. I, in fact, did stumble upon ISRP. I was being taught the basic, basic rules of AD&D by my brother-in-law when I came in. At that time, everything was still TSR-owned. Those sure were very enjoyable days - not to downtrod WotC or 3rd/3.5, mind you. Personal preference, and all that. Anyway, I was perusing the TSR website, until I came upon a chat site. Like any 11 year old kid who has little or nothing to do, I thought, "Hey! Cool!" Starting out, it was iChat. The first moderator-type folks I remember are Ginger, Reesa, and Durst. That is to say, those are whom I *remember*. I became interested because, at the ripe, young age of 10 or 11, I thought playing out characters in a chat room could be fun and I thought it'd help me better understand D&D. When I first came in, being a complete newbie, I created a screen name of "Thor", because I was infatuated by Norse mythologies, even then. Needless to say, and perhaps a little sadly, I was ignored by nearly everyone. I went through a number of other screen names, until Evander Sunstrike finally stuck. A charismatic dragon by the name of Draco was one of my major influences, as were Ren Scotson, Jaya Ballard, and a large number of others. There were simply WAY too many influences for me to name them all here...or remember them all. I progressed through a number of storylines - the Defenders of the Shield, the Redeemers of Teht, the Viyach Lemarg and Edena's Alliance, and others which I simply cannot recall. After Wizards took over, I largely retired from ISRP for 2 years, give or take. I came back to find out WotC was shutting everything down, calling it quits for ISRP. And here I still am. And damn ... I feel old. I guess I've been doing this for a long, long time. [/QUOTE]
