But I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for the SOL forum being removed.  

Those were some fun days. That really was a fun and active place with some weird characters.

Were you on The Mirror forum Maddog? I think that's possibly the busiest forum I have been on...it was brilliant.
I know we have both been on Dogs but possibly at different times because we dont remember one another from there.

I was never on the Mirror. SOL was a blast and I think it had a more international flavor because the SUN is read so many places. I don't think I've ever read The Mirror.

I met Stoo, Shine, Budgie and Shell on SOL.

As well as many others from all over the world.  

It was a shame when they shut it down. I don't even really remember why.

I actually talked to Shell on the phone a few times.

Shine was a bat shit crazy. We got along fine until he found out I hunted. Then he declared me enemy of the world.

Yeah...that whole thing was very fishy and Sky was ultra weird about it when I contacted them.

What was your username on Sky?

Pretty sure Gelico was Gelico on Sky. I was only there about 8 months before it closed too. Most distinctly remember Keith/Adrian Mole/Anthony Gethrin and Class Vixen dominating the place

Shell had a great accent, she posted a couple of vids where she was talking.

Shine drove away from forums one of the lovliest posters ever, Beamglow, she was a Mirror poster.
