Since 1994 ... H I S T O R Y !
MetroNet began as a small 3-4 board network in south-western
Pennsylvania, USA in 1994. This startup included The Phantom
BBS, The Titantic BBS, and Starfleet Multiline TBBS. FidoNet
was a costly option back then, not only for the phone tolls,
but also most hubs made you pay monthly for a feed. We wanted
a fun Fido-Style nework of our own that would be loca, and
best of all, be FREE.
As the users and SysOps started to like what they saw, more
and more systems joined the network. We quickly grew to
around 63 boards through-out Pennslvania and a few western
states. This was unheard f at the time unless it was
FidoNet. Many networks tried to emulate MetroNet in the
local area during the 1990s, but they all have come and gone.
MetroNet has stood the test of time and is still here to
prove it's worth.
Slowly, but surely, 1997 came around and BBSes were shutting
down. The network was shrinking. For the few boards that
were left, the conversation was still good, but not like it
once was. The network idled off and on for the next few
years and was rebranded the new home network of The Renegade
BBS Software in 2003 once the Renegade source code was passed
down to McMillen. This was in hopes to re-jump start the
network and bring in more and new conversations as well as
Renegade BBS support that was lacking elsewhere.
As of 2022, the network is once again growing. We are always
looking for new nodes and hubs to carry on the network to
others in the world.
Re-additions of Legend of the Red Dragon and Barren Realms
Elite Door games for InterBBS Play on MetroNet has also
brought some new users into the fold.
LORD is played InterBBS via InterLORD (Which is no Freeware).
