The Glen ran from about 2002, to 2013. It went down about 2017. Very little went on after 2013 because Brian, the owner, died suddenly, I guess of a heart attack. After, there was no one with the administrative ability to allow password resets, and, so, a lot of posters were unable to (without their passwords). One member, as one of its two moderators, tried to restart the board at a proboards board. Lasted about six months, then went poof.

A crazy fun place, without the "dead seriousness" (to nowhere, anyway) of the AP's. Lots of calm and collected posters. A mature crowd.

You missed out on a real treat, there, Tasha.
Thanks for the insightful details on what happened to Gamblers Glen! :D I didn't start going on Gambling Websites until 2014 so there's no way I would have known about Gamblers Glen in its heyday. About the Owner having a sudden heart attack and no one having the power to do password resets, all Head Admins should have Vice Admins and Junior Vice Admins who can reset passwords if the Head Admin suddenly die. People can suddenly die for any reason like someone who suddenly died because he had an undiagnosed cancerous tumor or something like that that gave out suddenly. So Head Admins should have Vice Admins and Junior Vice Admins in case they suddenly die.
