NIRVANAnet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NirvanaNET was a dialup BBS network started in 1990 in the San Francisco Bay Area by Joe Russack aka Dr. Strangelove (Sysop of Just Say Yes), Jeff Hunter, aka Taipan Enigma (sysop of &TOTSE), and Ratsnatcher (Sysop of Rat head Systems). NIRVANAnet was unique among BBS networks because member BBS systems agreed to allow anyone to connect and access everything on the systems instantly and anonymously. They also traded thousands of text files between the systems covering every subject imaginable; Totse still does, on the Web.
It later expanded to include other eclectic BBSes that valued freedom (and freedom of expression) including realitycheckBBS, The New Dork Sublime, My Dog Bit Jesus, Lies Unlimited, Sea of Noise, El Observador, The Salted Slug, and others.
