a crappy little stain on the internet called sonsofsparda-dot-com. It was one of those places where the forum founder had since moved on and left everything to incompetent underlings, who recruited their even more incompetent friends to staff the place when they finally decided to leave. Admitting heavy bias, as the second generation admin and I butt heads a lot. However, his idea of running a good forum was having custom smilies and reporting rumors as news, and actually managed to delete the entire RP section once in an attempt to give it a cute name. No, he wasn't smart enough to back up things before all of this happened. This forum no longer exists, or at least the domain was sold to someone else.  

As much as I hated management, there was a decent clutch of writers there. Even though I can't read those stories anymore, I have fond memories of them, even the ones that never quite finished.
