I started running WWIV 4.11 back in the late 80s.  I remember going to 4.12,
and I think there were several 4.2x versions until I landed on 4.24a and never
really technically moved past that core code.  It became easier for me to add
code from new BBS versions to my existing code since it is so heavily modded.

I never registered until it was a requirement.  I think it was around $70 back
then which was a good deal of money for someone young back in the day.

I will say there are very few things I really registered in my life, but WWIV
was one of them.
