Hollow Matrix was a brilliant place (formerly known as Broadie Car Park). It was a place where web developers gathered to share brilliant ideas, to help each other through development blocks, and to just find friendships. It was also a place of violent drama. A place I wouldn't send my daughter in the dead of night.
But all in all, it was a home to me for a decent portion of my life. But, alas, it seems that the time has come, like the bubble pop of the dot-com boom. The bubble really popped long ago, but now, the day has come when finally hollowmatrix.com has outlived its existence. One thing is, I hate when I go to a website and find that it has been replaced by a search.com.net.co.uk url just looking for link click revenue, so hollowmatrix.com is forwarding to my own website and will for the foreseeable future at least with a memorial here that you can read.
Edit 2010-09-22: Okay, I put up a blog on religious issues if anyone likes. Obviously the same URL: http://www.hollowmatrix.com/

It really was a great place. I met many friends on there and I haven't found a community like it since. Maybe one day I will!
It's a shame it has to close, I enjoyed the help I got from that site.
Maybe I'll make something of this eventually? ... just a thought. I was thinking of making a virtual discussion on religionish type things like your question on...well, you private question to me isn't a topic until someone brings it. Doesn't "Hollow Matrix" seem like a good name for this type of idea? Never worked for web stuff anyways.
Wow, I didn't see this coming (it's Nick; aka tensioncore, and starpg[in the BCP days])...
What a great memory it will always be.
I remember sleepless nights when I was 15 at my moms house on Vancouver Island just browsing and commenting/contributing on the BCP website, and then developing a hefty chunk of my php knowledge on HollowMatrix...
Many great memories, too bad she had to leave us.
I'd be in on some theological discourse, as well you know.
