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).               If you are interested in joining, please feel free to        download the current application pack from this BBS or        The Renegade BBS Home Page @ http://www.rgbbs.info and        apply today!!               Hope to see you posting! :)              ...
