Members often exchanged emails behind the scenes on the other site. Even the mods did this presumably. Moderators would facilitate this if asked.
Sometimes you'd want to ask something or chat and what you wanted to say was intended for one person so the forum was not the place. So a lot of the regulars used to email each other on that other forum. I know I did. Some members also had their email addresses visible publicly too - I did.
Looking and guessing who's here now they are mostly the regulars who used to banter with each other.
