Paradise Lost
=============

"Paradise Lost actually started in Aug. 1992 as a public BBS
running WWIV (See entry for 414-476-0989). By Apr. 1993 it became
private and switched to Renegade as the focus shifted more towards
hacking and phreaking. At its peak the Paradise Lost had callers
from many parts of the US and a couple regular callers from
Britain and Spain. The file areas were some of the biggest in the
US with over 10,000 text files, e-zines, viruses, etc. The focus
was on learning how the systems worked and not how to be overly
malicious. For instance trading of credit card and calling card
numbers was strictly prohibited and violators were quickly kicked
off. It was the world HQ for DFS magazine which in retrospect was
pretty silly but a lot of fun to publish. It was also the US HQ
for the infamous BoW. The board closed down in fall of 1995 and
returned for a few month stint in spring/summer of 1996 but by
then the Internet was taking off and BBSs were beginning to die."
