Why did you come to the Cellar?

Yeah. Whale Penis. It had to be the whale penis.

Well my FIRST time discovering The Cellar (c. 1991), I was looking through a listing of ads for Philadelphia-area BBSs. There was one that was an island of text in a sea of misbegotten ASCII & ANSI graphics. "Wow," I thought, "words."

Fast forward to 2002. I had not called The Cellar in ages... I just got out of the habit, though I believe it was still around all that time, including a stint as a Telnet service (which I logged on to a couple times). I was doing some searching on the Wayback Machine, and for some reason it occured to me to pop cellar.org in and see what was there. (The last time I had been active, the WWW as we know it today barely existed.)
