LRR
BBS
The Newsletter's became a sucess so there was a
need to
streamline the way the info was getting out. Remember
this is
before the Internet push, in fact the Web was just being
invented in 1994. Yes there was life before the WWW.
Not
very graphical and DOS based. If you had a modem and
a
computer you could dial in and get the latest. Funny
note: The
lowest baud allowed on LRR BBS is 300, today's standard
is
56,0000. With this new medium it was easier to present
more
than just Grateful Dead stuff. So with the advent of
the first
online version of The Lazy River Road with the LRR BBS,
came
the expansion into covering other bands.
LRR BBS
Officially went online February 9th, 1994.
LRR BBS has a very strong emphasis on communication
between
people through local Message Boards and international
News
Groups, such as Rime and Fido Net Newsgroups via a front
door connection, as well as carrying many of the Internet's
Usenet Newgroups. Since this is a BBS, most user's dial
in
directly, or now, can telnet in from the Internet.
Hello World
Wide Web
In March of
1995 the
LRR came to the
Internet.
In June of 1997 The
Lazy River Road got a major
face lift.
In fact the
music links page
is the only original file left.
It's main structure went to frames. It was transformed
into
a general information site with a reference and a sports
section, while still holding on to the intial cause
with a
beefed up Music site and other features for your
everyday hippy.
