I've heard bits and pieces about different software influencing each other. I just liked the menu system a lot more than other stuff out there, and I enjoyed being able to modify the source. And WWIVnet offered a lot to me because of the smaller community in my city...

But then I switched high schools and got a girlfriend, so the BBS never recovered.

Just for kicks, I just logged into one of the WWIV boards. I am no longer nostalgic about it, and appreciate Mystic and Sync a hell of a lot more than I did fifteen minutes ago.
