pc2 it was real time chat with a dozen and even more logged in at the same time on occasion. if you logged out it was gone. couldn't go in and read anything posted before you logged in.

had guests at times. like russ carmen talking about lure. would be a good thing if some of those conversations could be brought back. a real wealth of information was shared as well as just general conversation

IRC chat was more fun because it was in real time and the scripts

gotcha,i understand.now i gotta figure out what i hit that made my letters smaller.already had to wear reading glasses.any advice??

The old chat gave everyone a chance to meet trappers from all over the country.Then you knew who everyone was,when you met them at a convention.
Many times we chatted into the wee hours of the morning.My wife said she had never seen anyone type so fast using just 2 fingers.
It was a good time spent with good people.

as somebody described like sittin round the campfire with friends

I never heard of an online message board like this one until 2011.

Heck Les, I was still using smoke signals in 2011. No wonder nobody was responding but the fire jumpers.

Osky

got our first computer about 1998 or 99. 13 year old son showed me how to get email and how to look for stuff. I typed in trapping and trapperman popped up.

sure do miss the chat.

Those were good times on the old chats. I recall one time when I tried to get on chat and was having a hard time. Cotton kicked me off - lol.

I recall the chats were back in the late nineties and early 2000's before the big crash in 2006. After the crash of 2006, I went from the old UBB Classic board to the UBB Threads we have now. The very first message board in the spring of 1998 was something called Paradise Boards, or something like that. Then we went to a board that was set up like SPAC and made by a fella named Paul. He and Eric Mayer rented it out to us. From there we went to the UBB Classic.

We had a chat where your name on here was your name in chat. It was linked directly into Trapperman. It was determined to be a security risk, and I got rid of it.

We had some great guest chats. I recall Russ being on, the Leggetts, Tom Miranda, and others that I don't recall right now.

I recall tom and russ too...knew tom back then and pete and ron from helping at trappers college

Paul,yot were bouced that night by me and Tony.You were at your sisters and used her computer.The IP was not that of your computer,so we did not believe it was you.LOL you didn't hold that against us.Though Tony was sure worried.
Tom
