Your name doesn't look familiar to me - been hanging around these parts since 1996. Not sure if I should be proud of that or ashamed. Haha. Regardless, let me try to answer some of your questions.
Ivy is "still around"ish. She doesn't come on here anymore, but she is alive and well.
Matt was never the webmaster of this site. He used to run The Resurrection and, eventually, the official site. He doesn't come here, and if any if the other old school members here talk to him, I am unaware. Rik is the webmaster around these parts - he occasionally comes out of hiding to post, but without much to discuss his appearances are few and far between.
"The guy with the penguin" - suicide rob? The penguin doesn't ring a bell, but Rob used to help Matt out over at .com. Haven't heard anything about or from him in well over a decade.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
As I type this, I must be living the same feeling Tom Hank's character felt when he returned home from the island in Castaway!
I don't even know where to begin..my name is Rich. I was a regular poster in the early 2000's...I guess the below empty site switched over because this profile said I registered up again in 2008, but I was a poster on b.e way before that...... I havent been back since 2008 though...wow
I used to talk with Rik Frequently, and STPGurl, Jessie right? We've met once before...but I was a young lad in junior high, seeing STP for the first time on the no.4 tour.
I used to talk with Matt all the time as well, even got a chance to meet him on the Family Values Tour in 01...took me backstage, Scott spilled coffee on me!
Im still in disbelief this site is around....gonna try and show face some more, maybe answer some questions for any youngins on here who have come after me.
Damn..time flies. I remember being in 7th grade, 1999, thinking I was too young to talk STP with people online...now, 18 years later....unreal.
