Games, messages, and just generally more or less exactly what you’d find in a BBS from 1992.

Originally created in 1989 in Arvada / Westminster Colorado until appx. 2003 when work travel consumed me. Reestablished in 2020 and here to motivate others to use more BBSes and create your own! SysOp is always willing to help, and a contributor to the Mod and ANSI Art community.
