I’m having a little problem posting, it’s been many years. I tried yesterday but must have done something wrong, so I’ll try again.

An old AS Kicker from way back. My profile shows join date in 2001, but I found the forerunner of KickAS sometime in the late 90s, Brian Harris’ AS Web site. Does anyone still remember back then? At the time there were only a dozen or so people posting on Brian’s Chat Board, but it quickly outgrew that board and Brian’s AS battle was giving him many problems. So KickAS was born with the help of a guy named Pete, from Mexico, later to become Dakota Dan.
Back then I was known as Rick S and lived in Schenectady NY, but have been living in the small rural town of Burgaw just north of Wilmington NC for 17 years. If you can get to my pic you’ll see me and my daughter at a “take your daughter to work” day in Schenectady, she is 37 now and a nurse. Good think too, I’ve become prone to falls, broken hip and back, using a rollator now also.
I see several people from that time still here. I’ll try to drop by again more often.

Stay Well
Richard

Hello Fellow Kickers! I have been faithfully watching and reading for a few years. Number of visitors is barely noticeable which saddens me. I keep checking in, reading an old post every so often. Soon I feel I will abandon my daily monitoring as time and age is catching up to me. Thank you to everyone past and future for visiting, saying hello, supporting the bestest AS website ever.

I am Magician and it has been my honor to maintain this wonderful website.

Well done for stepping in Magician, i too am sad that there seems to be no-one using KA more often but in the world of technology I guess that spondys have different ways of keeping abreast of things now!

Was a good site to me and I was fortunate having joined whence it was very busy indeed, learned an enormous amount here, not least from John (Dragonslayer), a very well read and learned man, please say hello to him for me.

Ineptwill - sometimes known as Alan from England.
My best wishes to you

I think the time of KA has passed, Facebook seems to have taken over, the odd member still looks in but I don't see you getting it back to how it was sadly, and by all means call me Alan.
