Wow this kind of hit home! A lot of familiar ground. When I was 12 and living in San Diego I started a BBS, also using WWIV. Called Xcellent! BBS. When we moved back to the UK I tried to keep it going, but the BBS scene in the UK was a lot further back. I believe I had a connection through a friend to WWIVNET or something similar but I had to do that through a call to the US from the UK which in 1992 was ridiculously expensive so I stopped.

Thanks for the post :)
