This catalog is a present to all former members of GCRPG. It took me months to gather all the data I needed to make it, but that was well worth it to me because, while it's something that I would have wanted just for myself, I don't think that I would have taken all the time and the effort to actually do it if it were just for me. However, when I became aware of just how many people still remember and love our time here, it occurred to me that it wouldn't be just for me, and so I did it for all of us.
Though the first thing to know is that I'm not quite done with it yet. While it's helpful to have all the threads viewable by start date all on one page, what I intend to make is a listing by character. This will make it really, really easy for you to find pretty much anything because if you even vaguely remember a thread then you probably remember at least one character who was in it. And it also means it'll be easy to find everything you've forgotten about. Unfortunately, sorting out all the characters will take some additional time - not nearly as much time as gathering the data, but more time nevertheless. In meantime, I do have all the characters that were in each thread listed with the thread so you can find a lot of stuff now just with a Ctrl+F on that page.
The other thing to know is that I'm an imperfect human being who makes mistakes, so there are flaws in this listing. But I don't mind at all if you point them out to me! Feel free to leave me a message here or on Discord (though I'm more likely to get your message faster on Discord), and I'll fix my mistakes as soon as I can.
The last thing to know is that while I have bounced around the idea of making a list of characters by player once I get the threads by character figured out (I may or may not do it because that would be quite the project and I don't know how much gas is left in the tank to handle all the data), it would be outside of the scope of my ability to do some more handy things like making lists of threads in a more logical, readable sequence. I could probably handle making lists about plotlines I'm very familiar with because my characters were involved, but that's not something I can do for the entire forum. That being the case, anyone who wants to is welcome and encouraged to update your personal plot trackers or make new ones, including those that are not so personal. Especially once I get the threads by character bit sorted out it should be really easy for anyone to find and gather together a collected list of threads they think go together.
Any questions, comments, cookies, etc.? Feel free to send me a message either here or on Discord.
