I wonder who had the first RR related fan forum on the internet... I assume it would have probably been a BBS.

A lot of "other" forums are still formatted in the old way,where you have to click on each response and are generally hard to navigate.This one wins hands down for format,subjects, and people.

CompuServe and Prodigy... Geez, that brings back some memories.

BTW... I think the forums were better back when they still had Firemen. Oh wait... That's something different.

It does cut down on the BS posting though. Takes a little more effort to read and post.
