    Absolutely. If I had more time, I'd set up a second BBS that's a bit more "underground" and call it "South of Heaven".

    You have yourself a regular caller.


    Doesn't have to be "underground". In fact. how about a door game influenced by SLAYER ? :D

    H/P/V/A/C stuff is pretty "South of Heaven". such things were popular back in the day.

    Unfortunately I don't have the time, and more importantly the skills to write a door game.

    There were several other BBSes back in the day called South Of Heaven. And one local to me even, I think he may still be poking around here somewhere online if I recall.

    Yeah, I remember seeing a few. This BBS was originally named "The Demon's Lair" back around 1992 or so. I played a lot of Counter-Strike with my friends in the late 90's, where we formed a clan named "War Ensemble". Since I was the "computer guy", I wound up running the website, the servers, and I bought the domain. I've owned it ever since. I resurrected the BBS a few times over the years, and this incarnation has been online for about 4 years now, I think.

    It's nice, as it pretty much runs itself. I occasionally have to let it sit for months at a time due to real life getting in the way, but It's stable and keeps running with no intervention.

    Nope, That quote's been rolling around for longer than I've been alive. :)

    If I recall correctly, it's a quote from the comedian WC Fields, whose serious alcoholism was a big part of his routines.

    Could be. I think serious alcoholism is almost a requirement now-days for comedians!
