Wow, interesting..  I had only just started using BBSes in 1992, and it seemed like the BBS scene was still pretty big where I am, and still for a little while.  I started running my own BBS in 1994, and I think the BBS scene was still fairly active here for at least a few more years.  I didn't even really know what the internet was until late 1995, and I started using a dialup internet account.  I took my BBS down in 2000 since it really wasn't getting many users anymore.
