[TheForge] theforge history who knows it?

[Jerry Frost]

That was about the time I subbed onto theforge and Artmetal at Chris Ray's
prompting. Chris warned me not to tick George D. off when I asked Chris if
I'd see him on theforge too. Seems Chris had ticked George off and George
86'd him. Chris said it happened every once in a while.

Things were more heated in those days. I don't miss the flame wars.
