The Ghostbusters West Coast is a fan fic-based franchise of Ghostbusters International started in 2003. Andy Harness started a thread called "Legends of Ghostbusters", and the idea he had of an epic story led to Vincent Belmont suggesting the creation of an LA franchise of GBI, and to Ludicris volunteering to lead it. The rest of the contingent of the failed "Rogue Squadron" project (Proton User, Peter Kong) joined the idea, and before long some other recruits were found. This thread ran fifty-three pages before Chad shut down that incarnation of GBN, and by then some members had left (Borzou99) one more was about to be fired (jiggs something or other), some other guys had joined (Kyleogb1983, egon901, Ray Parker Jr, some idiot named Veedramon), and their first story had been released.

The GBWC had their own message board until recently; their first was one run by Andy Harness on a service that no longer exists. Then there was a
Proboards board that is still online, and then from 2007-2016 a PhpBB3 board hosted at gbwc.net. The board was taken offline in April 2016 because of lack of use, and the changes to my hosting service. I won't rule out putting it back up again some day, possibly only in an archive form.
