The early days of these boards had some very lively discussions because it was all new then. Now, it's more difficult to start a GF or Puzo-related thread that is really novel and catches a lot of attention. But other threads, like Organized Crime and some of the general ones, are thriving.

The early days attracted a lot of punks and Hitler-wannabees, leading to Geoff and the mods setting a higher standard for civility that is appreciated by nearly all. The bad guys still pop in, but they get banished more quickly.
