	"Trex as well as Trex2 was one of the most popular systems in the bay area. At its peak we had abuot 40 lines coming in. We evolved using the same interface but added access from the internet when we ported to unix. You can see some history at the associated website: http://www.trex.org. Come take a look. This was primarily a chat board with an amazing userbase from all walks of life and all interests. It was designed to not let anyone hide, not to let somone block another, etc. It was a dynamic place that managed to bring together people that otherwise would never have gotten along. Of course, first IRC then web-based distractions and the internet in general reduced the masses a great deal, but still there is a small needy group that grew up and might otherwise not know what to do if trex went away." - Brette
