Moved? Hell I was on the net with the BBS.
Between FidoNet, a various group of QWK based nets and this nifty uucp to PCB utility by Ed Hopper and an install of Waffle the board I had Gonzoland ... was a total connection.

Funny story was I was using a bang path as an alias thru a waffle BBS in 1990. The kid was a bit of a flake so I got a holonet account in 93 which required registering a domain name.

My buddy Robert Vostreys gave me the advice that gonzoland.com was just too fucking long so I filled out the long assed paperwork to get the free domain.... gonzo.com .

I guess you know the rest of the story.
