Darkest Hour BBS
================

Also listed as: P.A.G.A.N.

"It was an usual BBS. It used a custom EMSI mailer program
(Clipboard) that looked like Frontdoor from the users perspective
but had a secret knock to go to an underboard, Darkest Hour. It
was affiliated with the local hack/crack/pirate scene the co-sysop
was Gryphon. P.A.G.A.N. (lifted from the movie Dragnet) was the
overboard that did get semi-popular at one point and was mistaken
as a Wiccan website and I just rolled with it. I was never a
Wiccan but provided a couple of Wiccan FTN feeds for people and to
keep up the legit public image. Co-sysop of P.A.G.A.N. was
Shadowcat (girlfriend at the time) who really deserves all the
credit for it. Why the board is not in the ""official"" Alaska
list is a bunch of drama not directly related to the underboards
nefarious activities. Let's just say we (or more like me) had a
hard time putting the breaks on being a trouble maker. It didn't
help there was rumors of the underboard as well. It was shutdown
in 1994 because it was time to grow up and P.A.G.A.N. had evolved
in a direction I had no interest in. In 1999 to present Darkest
Hour has been running as a telnet BBS (with some down time when
moving. But no longer in Alaska.) It's not the original system.
It's kind of more of a tribute to the original problem child. I
don't think the board was ever really that popular with callers
but had a bit of reputation. So there might be a few people that
might wonder what ever happened as one of history footnotes. :)"
