The fact that I saw a few, may have been from me being in Phoenix, AZ... closer to California physically and likely a bit more direct connections etc. *shrug* Renegade was definitely the most widespread here from what I recall.  One of my best friends was kicked off the Renegade support network, so he started dialing in long distance to Cott Lang's board.  Cott wasn't going to boot him, and figured the net wouldn't drop his board and found the whole thing rather amusing as I recall.
