The Cellar is now online in yet another incarnation. Having lived as a
local BBS, as the first public access the net news and email in Philly,
as a telnettable BBS, and as a Javascript-based messaging system, it
now starts its fifth life as a web-based forum.
Several users have followed it since 1990, when it grew out of the
local messaging BBS scene. It held get-togethers that became highly
popular and even spawned a marriage. Hundreds of users got their first
email addresses on the Cellar. It was the subject of a chapter in an
early book on the Internet.
Now it lives on as a friendly, literate community. There's no business
plan here, no corporate interest, nothing but people who talk about...
well, almost anything.
For those who like this sort of thing, feel free to stop by.
