I stopped | by the sysop's home once, probably to drop off a donation | to the phone bill; recall the house having properly been | in Normal. He was a high school student, as were the | board's core participants. This culturally | differentiated it from other local dialups I frequented.* | I have the impression a few older sysops regarded it a | den of juvenile delinquents, but in my own experience, a | clever, hospitable and especially fun bunch. *There was | a subsequent board originating out of this set, don't | remember the name. I think it ran VBBS with strictly | local message boards.
