I do recall something along those lines.  I know in the STL area, people
literally chose sides and if you were part of the WWIVnet crowd, you didn't
interact with the WWIVlink folks.  It was like a huge turf war.  Never made
much sense to me to be honest.  It became one big shit show of cliques and in
my mind really marked the beginning of the end for our big WWIV BBS community we
had in this area.  People just didn't want to deal with drama, and I don't
blame them.  What once was open, accepting boards became nothing more than
cliques where people hung out on and if you weren't part of the clique, you
didn't get access, etc.
