SUBJECT: Introductions

Hi, and welcome to Threshold BBS. I'm Horatio, your friendly neighborhood SysOp, and I run the system. I'm in Pacific Time (as you might guess from the timestamps), but I'm an insomniac, so don't be surprised to see me logged in at all hours of the day and night.

Greetings from the Great White North! I'm here to talk to people who KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT - hope thats you. I've been watching the skies for a long time, and I've seen things that YOU WOULD HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE. The TRUTH is OUT THERE.

Vampires? Don't think so. That's just a TRICK that some of the GREYS use. were you TAKEN?

You can call me Sam; I am interested in a variety of topics, especially where they involve missing persons/abductions. I've been researching this for a long time, but I hope to connect to some people who know things I don't.

SUBJECT: Mandatory Intro

Hello everyone. I'm Raven, I'm 26, and I know a little bit about a lot of things. I'm a librarian by day and I dance the night away wearing black lipstick, a corset, and heels I could use to stake a vampire - or anyone else, really.

Is that enough of an intro, Horatio? Can I come in now?

SUBJECT: Hail and Well Met!

Hello everyone! I am Grimalkin, and I am a witch. A Wiccan, to be more exact. I suspect that I may find some more of my kind here - perhaps we can trade spells, or recipes; my book of shadows has far too many empty pages.

Hey, what's up with the time stamps, H? Looks like all the posts were put in this morning? Did something change?

SUBJECT: RE: RE: Welcome to Threshold BBS (Horatio) (Raven)

Yeah - I was trying to fix the realm-bleed issue, and things went sideways; I'm restoring it from the tapes and it reset all the timestamps for some reason. I'm still trying to get everything back that was here yesterday. Stay tuned.

Moloch, this is your first and only warning. Go back and read rule 1 in Welcome/Rules. Next time, you'll get banned.

SUBJECT: Look to the East

Hello Call me Danton. I've been watching all I can for what comes out from the east. With the map draining of red last year I finally get a chance to post without looking over my shoulder for human concerns.

Raven we should hear more about vampires now that Romania is settling down a bit, without Ceausescu around they're going to be far more willing to leave Carpathia.

This is so clever Demongrey!! I am so hooked in this new world of yours. You are brilliant!

Summer Camp is here and so is My pledge! <3

Visit my world of Kena'an for tales of fantasy and magic! Or, if you fancy something darker, Crux Umbra awaits.

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to writing in this throughout Summer Camp, and I can't wait to see what you'll produce - your work is amazing!

This is so cool! I love the art in the signatures :D

Jun 1, 2026 22:31

Thanks! Those sigs were hard to get right (but they’re all variables now, so I can just pull em as needed)!

Ha, ha! Pro tip :D I need to figure out variables at some point.

They are easy, and make life easy too.

Making me go back to look at the time stamps at the end was a piece of brilliance.   Also, damn it, CanadaHam. You're going to be a troublemaker around here, I can tell.

Very nice. Love that these posts feel like they are written by different people. I think you're nailing the different personas and I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this group.

Thanks! I had fun working out the characters, and I am also opening it up for a bit of roleplaying for people who want to interact with my crew of NPCs.

The styling of this world is sooooo cool. I am not really understand what it is all about - yet. But I hope I will, sooner or later :D
