    ▓█▌ Da CyberDawg was my third BBS, launched back in 1995, and the first ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ one to use PCBoard. I was 16, full of hormones, teenage angst, and a ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ general kewlness only a teenager can have. ▓▌
    █▓▌ █▓
    ▐▓▌ After rebuilding my second BBS, the Kuehlbox, in 2015, I decided to ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ give PCBoard on modern systems a try. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ And so, in 2019, Da CyberDawg was back online, 24 years later. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ Some time later, I was contacted by a dude called Mike, who wanted ▐▓
    █▓▌ to rewrite PCBoard from scratch in Rust for cross-platform and █▓
    ▓█ 64-bit support. ▓▌
    ▓█ I really didn't think this would lead to anything usable anytime ▓▌
    ▓█ soon, but in 2026, I was proven wrong: IcyBoard, as it's called, is ▓▌
    ▓█ now a perfectly usable and sexy alternative to the dusty old and/or ▓▌
    ▓█ underdeveloped systems out there. ▓▌
    ▓▌ And since Windows dropped its 32-bit version (and therefore 16-bit ▓▌ ▐▓▌ support), I took the opportunity to migrate my original PCBoard BBS █▓ ▐▓▌ to IcyBoard, rewriting all the PPEs, restructuring things, fixing ▐▓ ▐▓█ bugs and inconsistencies, adding a whole lot of new features, and ▐▓ ▐▓█ going public just in time for Halloween and the release of IcyBoard █▓

    ▓█▌ Da CyberDawg was my third BBS, launched back in 1995, and the first ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ one to use PCBoard. I was 16, full of hormones, teenage angst, and a ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ general kewlness only a teenager can have. ▓▌
    █▓▌ █▓
    ▐▓▌ After rebuilding my second BBS, the Kuehlbox, in 2015, I decided to ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ give PCBoard on modern systems a try. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ And so, in 2019, Da CyberDawg was back online, 24 years later. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ Some time later, I was contacted by a dude called Mike, who wanted ▐▓
    █▓▌ to rewrite PCBoard from scratch in Rust for cross-platform and █▓
    ▓█ 64-bit support. ▓▌
    ▓█ I really didn't think this would lead to anything usable anytime ▓▌
    ▓█ soon, but in 2026, I was proven wrong: IcyBoard, as it's called, is ▓▌
    ▓█ now a perfectly usable and sexy alternative to the dusty old and/or ▓▌
    ▓█ underdeveloped systems out there. ▓▌
    ▓▌ And since Windows dropped its 32-bit version (and therefore 16-bit ▓▌ ▐▓▌ support), I took the opportunity to migrate my original PCBoard BBS █▓ ▐▓▌ to IcyBoard, rewriting all the PPEs, restructuring things, fixing ▐▓ ▐▓█ bugs and inconsistencies, adding a whole lot of new features, and ▐▓ ▐▓█ going public just in time for Halloween and the release of IcyBoard █▓

    ▓█▌ Da CyberDawg was my third BBS, launched back in 1995, and the first ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ one to use PCBoard. I was 16, full of hormones, teenage angst, and a ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ general kewlness only a teenager can have. ▓▌
    █▓▌ █▓
    ▐▓▌ After rebuilding my second BBS, the Kuehlbox, in 2015, I decided to ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ give PCBoard on modern systems a try. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ And so, in 2019, Da CyberDawg was back online, 24 years later. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ Some time later, I was contacted by a dude called Mike, who wanted ▐▓
    █▓▌ to rewrite PCBoard from scratch in Rust for cross-platform and █▓
    ▓█ 64-bit support. ▓▌
    ▓█ I really didn't think this would lead to anything usable anytime ▓▌
    ▓█ soon, but in 2026, I was proven wrong: IcyBoard, as it's called, is ▓▌
    ▓█ now a perfectly usable and sexy alternative to the dusty old and/or ▓▌
    ▓█ underdeveloped systems out there. ▓▌
    ▓▌ And since Windows dropped its 32-bit version (and therefore 16-bit ▓▌ ▐▓▌ support), I took the opportunity to migrate my original PCBoard BBS █▓ ▐▓▌ to IcyBoard, rewriting all the PPEs, restructuring things, fixing ▐▓ ▐▓█ bugs and inconsistencies, adding a whole lot of new features, and ▐▓ ▐▓█ going public just in time for Halloween and the release of IcyBoard █▓

    ▓█▌ Da CyberDawg was my third BBS, launched back in 1995, and the first ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ one to use PCBoard. I was 16, full of hormones, teenage angst, and a ▐▓▌
    ▓█▌ general kewlness only a teenager can have. ▓▌
    █▓▌ █▓
    ▐▓▌ After rebuilding my second BBS, the Kuehlbox, in 2015, I decided to ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ give PCBoard on modern systems a try. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ And so, in 2019, Da CyberDawg was back online, 24 years later. ▐▓
    ▐▓▌ Some time later, I was contacted by a dude called Mike, who wanted ▐▓
    █▓▌ to rewrite PCBoard from scratch in Rust for cross-platform and █▓
    ▓█ 64-bit support. ▓▌
    ▓█ I really didn't think this would lead to anything usable anytime ▓▌
    ▓█ soon, but in 2026, I was proven wrong: IcyBoard, as it's called, is ▓▌
    ▓█ now a perfectly usable and sexy alternative to the dusty old and/or ▓▌
    ▓█ underdeveloped systems out there. ▓▌
    ▓▌ And since Windows dropped its 32-bit version (and therefore 16-bit ▓▌ ▐▓▌ support), I took the opportunity to migrate my original PCBoard BBS █▓ ▐▓▌ to IcyBoard, rewriting all the PPEs, restructuring things, fixing ▐▓ ▐▓█ bugs and inconsistencies, adding a whole lot of new features, and ▐▓ ▐▓█ going public just in time for Halloween and the release of IcyBoard █▓
