           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 now Freeware).
