Last week after reading the editor's article on how hard it can be to find a gaming group, I emailed him back mentioning how I'd found Rpg-post to be a great place to game when you can't find a table top group... Sure enough he mentioned the site in this week's news letter!!! It includes a link to the site. Talk about some amazing free advertisement! Thanks Sean of Drive-Thru!
From the news letter:
RPG-POST
There are many gamer-populated forum communities out there. Some are outstanding, some are middle-of-the-road, and some are just awful troll festivals that constitute an utter waste of precious life.
And then there's RPG-POST. I've barely scratched the surface of the thing and it has genuinely and pleasantly surprised the jade out of me.
Apparently, it all started as a fan-driven support project for the Trinity Universe products (Aberrant, Adventure, and Trinity); I've still not figured out exactly what Eon refers to, but that may be a fun thing to explore.
At any rate, the thing has grown well beyond its boundaries. As I write this, the front page features some meaty posts by the site operators about: Eric Stoltz as the original Marty McFly (complete with footage); a discussion about gamers portrayed in media (with a solid focus on the show "Bones"); and a chunk of stuff on City of Heroes and D&D Online.
This isn't reposted news and articles from elsewhere; this is original content, and it's all from the perspective of RPG gamers. The community aspect comes into the commentaries and forum posts. I think one's well worth your clicky-time.

We're on the map people, let's put on the game faces and make us all, and Chosen look good.
That's sublimely awesome.
That's sublimely awesome.
I'm so sick and tired of;
The taste of tears.
The sting of pain.
The smell of fear.
The sounds of crying.
As you're standing at the edge of your life;
What do you remember?
Was it all you wanted?

My Fellow NPrimers I have not been fully truthful with you. I did do it. I did it with my thing and liked it. I have done it many times and many ways and for that, I am sorry...

If its the naming anyone's curious about then I can answer that.
EON was started as "Europe-net", and it slowly morphed into 'Europnet'. By about version 3 one of our moderators at the time suggested rethinking the name as the site had grown way beyond my original ideas for a 'European Opnet Node' into the premier Aeoniverse support site. AEON...E.O.N.... it made a kinda sense.
It become EON with version 4 and went to the old chill.uk.net/EON URL at the same time - version 5 being the blue and white one, some graphics for that version of the site are still around *points to the EON link above*.
I did have an aborted version 4.5 somewhere too when I was messing about with a lot of flash... came to my senses though and dropped the flash, went all white and blue and stuff with v5.
