I remember Imperial Secrets. I never joined, because back when it was active, I was a wet behind the ears n00b. But I always wanted something like it.
My online RP experience is mostly confined to yahoo groups, with a dip into journaling and forums. I keep holding onto PBEMs, because it's my preference, but I fear they are dying. I began writing in Dragonriders of Pern fandom, and then started my own game in February of 2000. I had no business running a game, and it was kind of a mess, as I look back on it, but I probably haven't had nearly as much fun gaming since. From then I've dabbled into every genre of RP.
Like you, I think the best games for me were the ones where there were multiple stories going on, people stretched themselves with creativity, and nobody seemed too concerned about accumulating power.
My ideal gaming group has also changed. I'venever quite managed to embrace anything but freeform RP online. I remember back in the day wanting to GM a huge game. I have, and I don't want to again. I think I've become much more insular in the people I interact with. I'm far less likely to message someone out of the blue for role-play than I once have been. I'm content with a small group of people that I know I write well with and where the levels of drama are low. I don't always succeed, but it's what I try for.
