   You mentioning high school and WWIV got me thinking.  There were not too   
   many long-running WWIV boards in the area I lived in c1988-1997.  Most of   
   them were were like Commodore boards... up for a while and then   
   disappeared.  But there was one that was up for most of that period, until   
   BBSing started to wane.  It was run by one of the local high school   
   computer departments.  Considering that kids are only in high school so   
   long before moving on, looking back I am surprised it stayed active for more   
   than 4 years.
