  • 1 Year Anniversary

    From Bob Roberts@1337:3/135 to All on Mon Oct 4 09:27:27 2021
    Today is the Official 1-Year Anniversary of the Halls of Valhalla Relaunch.

    HOV went live on 10/4/2021, after a brief 29 year hiatus from 1992 - 2021. Originally launched in ~1989 as THOV or The Halls of Valhalla, this BBS ran inititally on a shared voiceline, only at night. Started on WWIV, on a 8086 IBM PC, with 2 360k floppy drives, it eventually migrated to a hot-shit 386 with 65 megs of HD running Telegard, and later Renegade. I took it down around














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    late 1992 when I decided girls were more fun then running a BBS. But I was still active in the Southern California BBS scene until college (and the internet) in 1995.

    Relaunched during Covid, on Synchronet, this BBS is now hosted on a cloud instance at Linode, and is maintained by me as a way to relive those earlier days and stay in touch with a new community still thriving on BBSes today.

    Glad to be here and thanks to all of you for your welcome.
    Cheers.

    Thanks for sharing the back story - I think a lot of sysOps put their boards down around the time they got more interested in the ladies than keyboards. It was fun reading about THOV of old, thanks.

    Yup. No major changes in those years.... pretty much the same today as it was then. :-)
