Whatever happened to QSLO?

Postby Parzival2600 » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:03 pm

I seem to remember a forum by the name QSLO (Quicksand library online) that existed some years ago. It was starting to build up when I went on my leave. I found art that was supposed to be for the title page of that forum. It was for a Blindrift. Didn't he have some kind of falling out with deepsinking which was why he started the forum? Anybody know what happened with that forum?

I'm sure OP tried googling it as well before asking here.

Anyway, it was a Yahoo group, which looks to still have a lot or all of its stuff:

The Yahoo group existed first, and it is still there. As of today, the group still allowed me to sign in and look inside, for when it was first opened up, I joined.

It looks like the last post was in 2006.

Later, QSLO also became a forum similar to this one.

It is correct that the existence of that forum was a result of the forum owner falling out with Deep Sinking.

Since QSLO was intended as a permanent archive, I sent some of my old stories there, thinking that the idea of preserving good quicksand literature was a worthy cause -- but preserved, it was not, for I don't think it was up for even a year.

It suddenly vanished. Maybe he took it down himself. Maybe he didn't pay the bill and it was taken down for him. I don't know why it is gone, and I don't know what happened to him.

I've been trying to get in touch with him for quite a while, but it looks like he rode into the sunset a long time ago.
Peeps!
