I was in my last year of high school in 1993.  The boards in my area were
still going strong. about a year later I became a FidoNet Hub and the BBS ran for a good 10 years (dialup, then web based around 2001) longer before life made me shut down.  By 2003 things where really slowing down on the Dialup scene but when we transitioned to a web board it kept going for a while.  

It would be nice to see it come back but I doubt it ever will.
