I sent you a friend request on Discord before realizing I can just post an updated (permanent) Discord link in here for ya. Some folks are more willing than others to talk about The Old Days (it wasn't all fun and games), but I think (hope?) you'll find plenty of people who're willing to answer at least a couple of questions about the MSPA Forums' life and eventual untimely demise.
That said, the perspective you'll get from most Eagletimers is that of folks who most often frequented the MSPA Fan Adventure (MSPAFA), the Role-Playing and the Forum Games subforums (somewhat weighted towards the former two). We certainly frequented other forums than just those, but I think everyone who lived through the (relatively) early history of the MSPA forums that's still around on Eagletime had their nest in one of those 3. If you want a more in-depth view of some other specific subforums (especially later in the MSPA forums' life cycle when the subforum communities diverged somewhat) you might have to find the people best informed on them elsewhere. However, at the very least Eagletimers should be able to help you find where to look for those people.
In any case here's the promised Discord link: https://discord.gg/Y5PpQWE
See you in there!
