Subj : 1 Year Anniversary To : All From : Bob Roberts Date : Mon Oct 04 2021 09:27:27 Today is the Official 1-Year Anniversary of the Halls of Valhalla Relaunch. HOV went live on 10/4/2021, after a brief 29 year hiatus from 1992 - 2021. Originally launched in ~1989 as THOV or The Halls of Valhalla, this BBS ran inititally on a shared voiceline, only at night. Started on WWIV, on a 8086 IBM PC, with 2 360k floppy drives, it eventually migrated to a hot-shit 386 with 65 megs of HD running Telegard, and later Renegade. I took it down around late 1992 when I decided girls were more fun then running a BBS. But I was still active in the Southern California BBS scene until college (and the internet) in 1995. Relaunched during Covid, on Synchronet, this BBS is now hosted on a cloud instance at Linode, and is maintained by me as a way to relive those earlier days and stay in touch with a new community still thriving on BBSes today. Glad to be here and thanks to all of you for your welcome. Cheers. Bob Roberts --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: Halls of Valhalla -:- hovalbbs.com:2333 (1337:3/135) .
