[ih] Chat room and forum archives

[Dave Taht]

The cellar.org BBS 1990-2020 had a colorful history and was run by at

"undertoad".  (ubbs, I think it was called). Some history:

It was one of the first bbs's that had multiple modems, so chat was
one of it's pulls.

I bear no resemblance to the guy that gave them sco Xenix in 1990.
None, whatsoever.
