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

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. Tom

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.

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.

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.

Yep that was him Marc. He was from Canada.
