Pb-Cle-Raves History

List and Regional History

The history of the list:

The very beginnings:

The list was started in 93 by Joe Lesesne and run manually on Telerama. It grew and evolved and was moved to hyperreal.COM in the fall of 1995 and Tom Butcher (bit) took over running the list on the new majordomo setup. He also started the web page and archives. Trout Soup took over the ROM and maintained it at youngstown state's servers.
Tom maintained the list from 1995 to the end of 1996, at which time he was preparing to move to Seattle for a job, and searched for a replacement. Trout soup took over in Jan 1997 and is at present maintaining the list as well as the web page and ROM. At some point hyperreal.COM was renamed to hyperreal.ORG to better represent that this is not a for-profit effort, as Hyperreal is supported entirely by volunteers.

Where things are at now

Things have churned along and improved, a web interface to an irc chat channel was added, a few revisions to the HTML, badges came and went as a passing fad, netmeets have become a mainstay of many parties. There is now a ROM only list for people who don't wat the traffic of the full list, the rom has been automated and changed a few times, the weekly calendar is now back. A cousin BBoard was started and somewhat used by listies. work is constantly being done to make the page and list a better place.
