Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) In this New Year, I spent a little time at Wayback.com to see what TOB looked like when I joined in 2007. Wow, what a memory jolt! There wasn't much more than a capture of the old site, not much by way of logging in or interacting, but still. How far this site has come. Best wishes to all and a Happy 2022.

RT was a human lightning rod who never seemed to tire of getting lit up. But SoWet had a lot going for it before flying off the tracks.

Posted January 8, 2022 I do remember BearsBoard and SoWet. Lets not forget The Rocky Mountain Oyster. I joined TOB in 2007 as well. My user name at that time was: 2degreesnorthof topdeadcenter. Came back in 2011 could not re-establish that name so came up with the current one. I remember The Doll House agency here in the Springs. Victoria ran it. In the begining she had some quality ladies. Man, that was whole different world back then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 3, 2022 I too joined in 2007: Jenna Johnson was first, she was starting what became a very successful agency. She came from Colorado Connections. Emerald Jewell became my favorite right up to when she retired about thirteen years ago. I still stay in touch. Recall enjoying posts from: Southern Boy (pompous), El Cid, Crazy Horse (one and the same), Kaduk, an Asian fellow who simply asked who was available. Got lots of heat but it seemed to work for him. Jennifer Classy Centerfold, Gia, & Casey Pearls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2022 There used to be a guy on here many years ago 10+ or more called Captain Jack. He would review ladies on here and then he would promote those reviews on another local site, whose name I can't remember. He would refer to the ladies as "Captain Jack Approved". Some of the ladies even had "Captain Jack Approved" in their ads with links back to TOB as I recall. It might have been a COS-centric site that he was on. I think that is how I initially found this site. Does anyone else remember that, and am I remembering it correctly? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I always wondered if he realized that the historic figure that I assumed he chose to use for his handle was .......... female. I can't remember if the other site he haunted was Bears Board, but seems like. Could have been Sowet too. Anyway whenever I see the signs for "Captain Jack Trail" up Cheyenne Canyon I have to chuckle. Here is the tail of the "real" Captain Jack: https://green1109.wixsite.com/stewartmgreenphoto/single-post/2018/01/28/captain-jack-colorado-springs-feisty-and-fearless-woman-in-1900 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose it could have been, although if memory serves he was from Springs, so ........... but the memory isn't getting better Regardless, it makes for a good laugh at trail and causes anyone in near vicinity to wonder what the hell is so funny! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Upon further thought (ouch, head hurts) it seems like he had his own site with a few ladies' ads. Details a little hazy. Speaking of Springs and the way back past, remember the comprehensive list of escorts (Springs only I think - ouch again!) with helpful info updated regularly that was the work of Ira Geek?

Whatever happened to the Geek btw? That lines up more with my recollection as well. I don't that Captain Jack was with Bears Board or Sowet, he might have had his own site. And I think it was just Springs ladies. I recall it being fairly useful for the time. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 9, 2022 I remember the whole Captain Jack thing. It was in vogue for about a year. There were several reasons why, all of a sudden, it wasn't in vogue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
