Rowan Lipkovits' (@mistfunk) description of my Lokke profile as "an interesting look at an ultimately doomed venture" got me thinking.
*Many* of the BBS-related histories I've written over the years on https://breakintochat.com/blog are tragic in that way!
Projects that started with big ambitions, but were doomed to fail.

@kirkman I hope I didn't sound too gloomy and dire there... to a certain extent every article on any BBS- or textmode art-related topic is about a "doomed venture". Nostalgic hobbyists can of course chat about well-known and much-loved doomed ventures for hours and hours. It's just very interesting to see so much detail about this specific undertaking surface after so many years of obscurity (well, hiding in plain sight.)
