I was just looking up about kapland on p'dox as I recall visiting at times but preferred the tamer waters of Languish.

I stumbled across this:

I peek in at Languish and KAPland.

Other than that, I do most of my trash talking at bars and pubs :).

Was that you?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Although I think I registered quite early, I only started posting here in earnest once I started my first full time job, so around 18-19 years ago.

As Garbon, I have trouble imagining a life without Languish being there. I suspect you guys greatly affected my English-language cultural and political exposure and as a result likely have had a big influence on the course of my life.

Yeah - I posted on KAPland for awhile (I even went to KAPapalooza!), but it had even less traffic than Languish (which was really hopping at one point).  I think it just died, but then didn't we have a separate KAPland backroom here at Languish - which was mostly used for posting naked pics?  I think we must have lost that during the great server re-set of 2009.

Actually I remember there was a separate Kapland part of the backroom.  But that died away.

Yeah I think we either got older and less pervy, or more likely with the even greater abundance of porn on the internet in the last 20 years it just became redundant.

We lost the posts and so on, but as I recall it went like this:

  • KAPland and Languish were separate boards
  • KAP stopped running KAPland. Languish hosted a separate KAPland area.
  • The KAPland part of Languish got renamed "the Backroom".
  • Enough non-KAPland folks got added to the Backroom over time that the KAPland identity disappeared.

20 years of lurking! How time flies.
I should post more. I'll make it my next-20-years resolution.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
