Hi Diffie and welcome to NeuroTalk
You may be thinking of the old BrainTalk forums. We formed in 2006 when they had a major server crash and were offline for some months, with loss of their old database. After they came back up, many of us liked it here so much, that Dr Grohol (DocJohn) turned our temporary home into a permanent one, with our own unique look and feel.
all the best
