Description
A dial-up bulletin board run from Greenmore Falls by its sysop, Teodor MacLeod, with message bases, a file library and 319 members.
Provenance
Recovered from a hosting company’s retired backup tapes, with the owner’s permission. The drive spun up and was imaged behind a write blocker in a single pass. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
