Wow, Brian, funny running into you here after all these years! You may remember me as a guy who ran the site for you for a year or two when you needed a break. You also helped me get started with Web development on the server-side. You were always kind, encouraging, and trusting--sometimes I still marvel at how well everything worked out considering how little any of us really knew each other. You seemed to have a knack for finding good-natured people to join in. I have a lot of fond memories from playing JK and working on the site with the great community.

Do you still have the same email address at the .net domain? I'd like to contact you again. :)

I actually emailed you a couple of days ago (at something alphapapa) -- my email address is the same but with `massassi.com` instead of `massassi.net`. Hope to hear from you!!!

I agree, we had so many great people help over the years. It was amazing because virtually everybody had essentially root access to the site and we had no backups, no recovery plan, nothing at all in case things went south. It's quite a bit better now!
