 BR> Today is the Official 1-Year Anniversary of the Halls of Valhalla
 BR> Relaunch.    

Awesome, man! I remember seeing Bobororobobob come back onto the message 
forums. :P Super stoked that you made it a full year up. 

 BR> HOV went live on 10/4/2021, after a brief 29 year hiatus from 1992 -
 BR> 2021.  Originally launched in ~1989 as THOV or The Halls of Valhalla,
 BR> this BBS ran    inititally on a shared voiceline, only at night. 
 BR> Started on WWIV, on a 8086   IBM PC, with 2 360k floppy drives, it
 BR> eventually migrated to a hot-shit 386   with 65 megs of HD running
 BR> Telegard, and later Renegade.  I took it down around late 1992 when I
 BR> decided girls were more fun then running a BBS.  But I was still active
 BR> in the Southern California BBS scene until college (and the internet) in
 BR> 1995.
 BR> 
 BR> Relaunched during Covid, on Synchronet, this BBS is now hosted on a cloud
 BR> instance at Linode, and is maintained by me as a way to relive those
 BR> earlier days and stay in touch with a new community still thriving on
 BR> BBSes today.
 BR> 
 BR> Glad to be here and thanks to all of you for your welcome.
 BR> Cheers. 
 
Thanks for sharing the back story - I think a lot of sysOps put their boards 
down around the time they got more interested in the ladies than keyboards. It 
was fun reading about THOV of old, thanks.
