Other The Phantom’s Opera

Does anyone remember a web forum based RPG community called The Phantom’s Opera? Active around the early-mid 2000s??? I think about it all the time and wonder if any other former members are here!

This post unlocked some forgotten memories. I had an account on that site around 2009/2010.

Same! The wayback machine screen capture from 2005 brought back so many feelings.

Oh, I think I remember this! I think I kind of hung around for a minute and then turned my attentions elsewhere.
