Castle Mad Baron, 1995-2008

AOL notified its members today that they are terminating the AOL Journals and Hometown AOL services as of 31 October 2008. That means that this here journal will be going away as well as Castle Mad Baron, my little personal website.

CMB, as it is affectionately called, was launched on 23 September 1995. I had grand visions for it then (it was castle-themed, after all) but it never really evolved beyond being my HTML learning ground. It was the birthplace of the Mad Knights, a group of online friends that helped the castle grow in the early days, which eventually evolved into a clan in the Legends of Terris MUD (and, I hope, Tabula Rasa). In 2003 I began archiving there the fiction that I wrote for Legends of Terris, and that remained the site's primary purpose for the past five years. So, I sincerly thank everyone that contributed to and even visited CMB during its 13 years of life. It was fun!
