This is probably a message out into the endless void of the old and dead internet and I don't know if anyone from the old days will ever check this website again, but I feel moved to post something after being absent for more than 10 years.
I am feeling incredibly nostalgic on a very late Saturday night/Sunday morning. It's cold and snowy outside my home, and I've been taking a long trip through my memories. Tales from Mossflower popped into my mind while listening to some old nostalgic music and I began to trace my memories of this place. I remember hours and hours of writing stories with my old friends. So long ago, and yet my time spent here feels so fundamental and important to me that I had to come back and leave a message to anyone still out there.
To Cara, Cole, Kal, Wolfie, Silas, Kip, and anyone else who may visit this website again, I wanted to drop this message and say that I remember all of you and I will always remember the fun times writing on Tales from Mossflower. Looking back, the Redwall book series really was fundamental to my life and who I am today. Roleplaying on this website was an escape for me, and an outlet of creativity that I have yet to recapture in my adult life. I will always remember the stories that I helped to explore here. The world that we created together. The adventure, friendship, characters, and fun that we had here. I will never forget it.
I'm sitting at my computer, listening to a song called Surfaces and Depths by White Ward, drinking a tumbler of Highland Park scotch and thinking of this place and everyone I met here. So many memories. To Cara and Cole specifically; I will always remember you. The characters and stories we made on this website will be in my mind until I die. Characters like Vrelt, Drask, Callista, Kolia, Mol, and Jane. They will always be a part of my memory, and their unfinished stories will continue to linger at the back of my mind.
I don't know if anyone will ever see this message, but I feel compelled to reach out. I will always remember this place and I hope that anyone still out there will remember it too. Redwall and the characters and places and stories that we created will always live on in my heart. The cold island of Riftgard, the tropical Sampetra, the vast Mossflower woods, the harsh Northlands, and Redwall itself. The woodlanders, the goodbeasts, and of course, the vermin. The battles, adventures, relationships, and worlds of Tales from Mossflower. I hope the stories we imagined will live on in you as well.
If anyone is still out there, feel free to leave a message and I will reach out. I'll check this website periodically.
With Love and Nostalgia, Vrelt Darkfang, King of Riftgard

The odds of multiple nostalgias happening within days of each other. I was talking to somebody about old roleplay forums and decided to bring this one up to see if anybody still existed around here. Never thought I'd actually catch anybody

Hello there!
I cant, for the life of me, recall my login and its..., what 0835 where I am? I am bleary and staggering.
But by the stars am I glad to see this blast from the past. Kal sent this to me via FB; its good to know you're still out there, Vrelt.
This haa been and forever shall be my home. It shaped so much of who I am, and I cite Redwall for so much of who I am and how I write.
Though I genuinely apologize for my writing here, lol; This was my first RP site ever. I guarantee I have grown, hahaha.
Please do not hesitats to reach out. kipposan@gmail.com, for starters; happy to give personal info therein.

I mean, you're not the only one. It was ten years ago, things were way different back then. This place is probably why I even have been attempting to write my own books, with some lessons I learned and inspirations

Wow! seriously just wow! i haven't thought of this place in years but just seeing your names and all those character names brings back so many memories! my middle child who will be 18 in a couple of months is just finishing a readthrough of all of the Redwall books and i had been thinking of picking them up again. maybe i will. in the mean time most of my creative efforts have been focused on Star Wars mostly the Clone Wars and Bad Batch (yes i have fallen head over heels for Tech and my husband is well aware) i suppose i have you all to thank for turning me on to Republic Commandos. My fanfics can be found on fanfic.net and A03 under the pen name DuchessKenobi if you are interested. But really wow! what a trip to touch base with you all!

I decided on a whim to see if this site was still around or not. I was surprised to see that it is, and that a lot of old friends are still on here too. I have gone by many usernames on the internet since the days of TfM, but it was great to see all of you again. I'm still in a committed relationship with Wolfie, and have been as such for eons now. I know I maintained contact with some of you through facebook, but I have since deleted my facebook account.

Wow!!! I honestly didn't expect this response to my nostalgia post! I'm glad to hear from you guys and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who remembers this place!
Kip, I was looking back at some of the stuff I wrote and it's not great lol. I joined this site when I was 13 and I was 16 or 17 the last time I posted anything. I agree with you; this place helped to shape me and I'll never forget it. I'll be 30 in July and I feel really old looking back at this place. It's good to hear from you!
Kal and Cara, I think what made me remember Tales from Mossflower was Star Wars related. A few weeks ago, the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Classic Collection came out and I was playing it and feeling very nostalgic about the old days. I played a lot of Battlefront 2 when I was posting here and I'm sure I talked to some of you about it in the old chat box.
Kal, I remember talking about Star Wars a bunch with you back in the day, and I remember talking about football too. I'm still a rabid Seattle Seahawks fan and I remember talking junk about the Pittsburgh Steelers to you lol.
I'll check out your fanfiction writings, Cara. I'm glad to hear that you're still writing. I haven't been very creative in the last 10 years or so, but it's something I'd like to get involved with again in some capacity. Between you and Cole, I feel like some of my favorite threads and characters were with the two of you. Every once and a while, I think about some of the plot to the Off the Coast thread, with Moll, Drask, and Kal's character Walon among others. I remember threads with my character, Vrelt Darkfang, and your character Kolia and Silas' character Sergei. I also remember Werehaven and the stories that you, Silas, and I started to develop there as well. I miss those days and thanks for posting, it means a lot to hear from you Cara!
Exia, I remember your name from back in the day. I don't remember if we ever had any characters in an RP, but I think I recall talking to you about music in the chat box several times. I'm pretty sure that you recommended Sum 41 to me when I said that I liked Green Day at the time. I'm glad to hear from you and I'm glad to hear that Wolfie is still around as well! She was one of the first people that I ever wrote with on this site back in 2007 and I have fond memories of our threads back in the day. Please let her know that Vrelt says hi!
Question for everybody; are any of you guys involved with any forum based RPGs anymore? I would be interested in trying to regain some of my creativity if anyone even still does this kind of thing.
Thank y'all for posting and saying hi! It's awesome to hear you guys are doing well and are still out there with memories of Tales from Mossflower! I miss this place and it made my month to see all of you reach out and post!
