Sanctuary BBS
=============

"Toronto-based Sanctuary BBS initially sprung-up as a free-access
and somewhat-underground alternative to "MAGIC (Macintosh
Awareness Group in Canada)" following its move to pay and
subsequent self destruction over politics and money. Like MAGIC
and most other Macintosh-oriented BBSs, Sanctuary used the
"hobbyist" version of FirstClass, a GUI based package actually
designed to be a collaborative office product. As the Internet
became more popular, Sanctuary abandoned dial-up in 1998 in favour
of TCP/IP based access on port 510, permitting dozens of users to
simultaneously chat, transfer files, and send email. Like many
BBSs that shut down over a lack of SysOp dedication or squabbling
amongst its members, Sanctuary went offline December 31st, 1999 at
11:59PM because of both. The last message posted read, "BBSing is
dead. Long live the World Wide Web." - Michael Hainsworth
