    www.sex4geeks.co.uk

    Sadly.. (or perhaps Gladly) all trace of it has gone.. except some very few and small references on google.

    Sadly, you appear to be right. I tried looking it up on www.archive.org and, though the search found it, I could not retrieve any of the records.

    Re: Tried Roleplaying?

    if you're THAT desperate to find it.. i probably still have it archived locally.. somewhere

    was actually nothing to do with S.E.X. it was just an amusing website name a friend and I thought up (talking about charities that should be but as yet didn't exist) I had a rudimentary blog (2003 blogging hadn't really taken off to the level it has now) a comic strip serial.. (well one three panel one.. I never found the time to set up another one) , some of my programs I wrote for windows and my (then) Palm Pilot and profiles of some of my geeky members.. complete with Geek Code for each member. and some silly PHP games and math and computing links to cool stuff.

    Was never really that great.. was done as a laugh for *****s and Giggles. But the amount of emails I got basically full of bad spelling and sort of all saying the same thing .. generally

    "U suk. I logged on here and No P@rn .. L@s3r"

    etc.. So I decided.. what the heck, I didn't need this hassle so folded the site

    The only roleplaying game worth playing is Paranoia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_(game)

    (Actually I've never played it, but it's the only RPG that's really appealed to me. The player's handbook alone had me in stitches.)

    Good because I'm on my last clone and I have this strange muta- mut- nervous disposition.

    Yes, once every 2 weeks my team of buddies meet up and we play Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Fantastic fun, even though we hardly make any progress when playing - most of the time we're just being social and catching up with each other and eating tons of Doritos and dips and various snacks.

    I would have never guessed that someone with the username Shodan would enjoy roleplaying games .

    We try for a weekly game (it varies as to what we play) but at the moment I'm in a game of D&D.

    Why, thank you. It was actually a pretty small battle.

    I love it! It's like like Lindy vs WCS vs MJ arguments applied to other fields . LARPers vs Tabletop vs Re-enactment (I've never done any of the last but it does look cool).

    Next up Console vs PC? Vi vs EMACS?
