April 27th, 2000 | SHUTDOWN
  
   The HMVH Corporation BBS is shut down as of right now!


April 11th, 2000 | 850

   This date is of significance to me.
   This number is of significance to me.
   Disk #850 is the last in my still-increasing collection of image files,
   except that I am now collecting them for me - not the BBS anymore,  and
   we're talking about  the best of the best of the greatest  exclusively.
   The last significant  upload/addition  of image files by the SysOp took
   place just a few hours ago.  Do not expect anything more for a while...
   not to the BBS in its current form, at least. Geez, I've done this on a
   regular basis for so long,  it'll feel really strange to NOT have to go
   through this routine anymore!
   In fact, I wonder if anyone is actually going to read this message.


March 15th, 2000 | GROUP 2

   File Group 2 (Hardware Utilities and Information) is no more.
   As part of  a downscaling and outsourcing operation,  Group 2  has been
   deleted and will,  at a personal level,  continue to survive  on CD-ROM
   only (under the name of THUD - The Hardware Utilities Disc).
   Expect other File Groups to follow suit.


January 6th, 2000 | Y2K

   We've made it... the BBS has made it... and mankind is still alive!
   Phew,  short of a few minor bugs  (date-  and  age-specific bulletins),
   the HMVH Corporation BBS  is largely Y2k compliant  and  has gracefully
   slipped into  a  new millennium.  Unfortunately,  the All- and NewFiles
   lists don't show up with a New Files Scan anymore  but - otherwise - do
   let us us if there is anything we may have missed.

   Also:  All regular and registered users have been upgraded to life-time
   Executive Members.


December 15th, 1999 | FIVE YEARS
   
   Today marks the FIFTH year of the HMVH Corporation BBS online, and this
   shall unfortunately be its last as well.  The only reason this thing is 
   being kept alive is for the sake of sorting  our huge image collection,
   and we're also keen to see  what will happen after Y2k  -  in fact, the
   very program  that generates these news bulletins won't know what to do
   when the year 2000 rolls along.  Let's hope for the best, or we'll just
   have to keep changing the date back to 1999?
