tubaman (D. Tenhagen), tubaman (Daniel Tenhagen)WWIV
"Actual years of steady operation were 1989-1995, though it was online only sporadically near the end of 1995. I was 10 years old when I first started running the board. At the time, I was building PC.s and selling them to make the money to keep the board up (phone line, computer, WWIV software registration, etc). I kept the board up until my Sophomore year in High School, when cars and jobs became a bit more important than computers for a while, and the Internet was drawing all of my users away. While it was running, I also started a local WWIV Network called .BETALink. (the BETA stood for Beyond BBS, Emanon BBS, Tardis BBS and Aquarius BBS, the four original nodes). Over time, we grew to about 30 nodes, including one in Virginia and one in (I think) North Carolina." - Daniel Tenhagen
