    Posted in The Lounge » Hi

    Just dropping in; Some of the old timers might remember me.   I used to be around this joint like a rash in the Naughties.

    Just posting on indulgence, Mr Speaker.  I started a site called Railbastard.  It was only ever meant to be fun, and wasn't anit-RP like some made it out to be (in fact dissing RP is clarified as a NOPE in our rules).  

    Anyway, there were those who tried to heap excrement upon us.  "It's just another  anti-RP site" (it isn't). "it's juvenile because you are allowed to swear"  (nope, swearing is optional, and is a mere by-product of being treated like an adult), and my favourite, "It'll never reach critical mass."

    Well, Railbastard turns ten years old today.  We have survived.  Thanks to those who had faith in this weird little experiment.  And peace to Railpage Australia.  I choose not to come here much these days, but I bear no malice, and have met some very good friends here.
