THE SAVAGE LAND...
The place where civilizations clash and both the medieval and the modern
worlds creep up on each other, giving ample adventure to he who craves it!
One must always be wary for the sights and sounds which assail the senses are
those of which the world has yet to truly comprehend!
Welcome traveller, to this bizarre land. Wear your armor proudly and
make peace with such dieties as thou might pray to. For one never knows
what one might encounter...
In The Savage Land!
The Savage One

- Just shy of our full 12th year in existence, The Savage Land BBS will
be closing its doors. The Land will always continue to exist in our memories
but, for now, it must fall to the ravages of time. Electronic Communication
has moved way beyond Bulletin Board Systems and although NOTHING on the
Internet can truly and honestly match or rival what we've experienced in
these lands, it seems the appeal of multi-chats and messages has taken most
away from these simple times of individual callers. Thanks to everyone who
has travelled these roads, especially Thoth who's been there from the start,
you will not be forgotten. Although the Land itself will fall into the annals
of history, our Tomes will live on through the magic of Archives. Who knows?
Maybe one day, The Savage Land BBS will rise again!

- Today is The Savage Land's 10 Year Anniversary! Can you believe it?!
Wow! I always hoped we'd be able to last this long, but I wasn't very sure
it was going to happen, especially afte the major slowdowns of the last few
years! But it's here! Happy Anniversary to us!!
:::Tuesday January 1, 2002:::
- ScapeGoats still exist! For recognition of duty above and beyond...
Wild Munchkin garners the ScapeGoat crown for 2002!!! Let your stones fly
and all hail the chief! Lift your glasses! :)
:::Thursday January 4, 2001:::
- In just under 9 years of its full-time existence, The Savage Land got
its 50,000th caller today! The honor went to the man deserving of it the
most: Thoth!! Congrats to you, sir! Thank you for playing and let's aim
for that 100,000th call!! (giggle)
:::Monday January 1, 2001:::
- Happy New Year!! And the ScapeGoat for this year is none other than...
GOOFY! Voted in absentia! :> Even though he's only human, he deserves the
title like none before him!
:::Friday September 1, 2000:::
- Congratulations to HBK on the birth of his first neice!! How nice! :)
:::Saturday July 8, 2000:::
- The Savage Land wishes Vette and Sunshine the Happiest of Lifetimes on
this, their wedding day! Congratulations!
:::Sunday January 2, 2000:::
- Proving that even Sysops aren't exempt from blame, The Savage Land
Year 2000 ScapeGoat is Savage! Barely beating out Lucien Bouchard for the
title, Savage figures that what with the board's non-compliant quirks and
anything else that could happen, it probably would/should be his fault! :)
:::Saturday January 1, 2000:::
- The world hasn't blown up, and life continues. WWIV BBS' are not Y2k
compliant, so if you see freaky/ strange things during your stay here, do
not be alarmed. The important part of the system (message sharing) still
functions. The rest are quirky semantics. :)
:::Wednesday April 15, 1998:::
- It's a BOY!!! UNCLE HBK shares his joyous news as Matthew comes into
the world this morning at 12:53am, weighing in at 8lbs 4ozs! Congrats!!
:::Tuesday December 30, 1997:::
- It's official! Coming in from behind in a VERY surprise manouever,
Thoth managed to rally his forces and come up the winner for 1998's ScapeGoat
award!! HBK leaves the year with some very momentous disasters which will
forever be blamed on him. Like Light Castle the year before him, he can step
down knowing his power was strong indeed! And now, let any befallen mishaps
land on the crown of Thoth, as it will definately be HIS fault!
:::Saturday November 29, 1997:::
- The shock reached a new level tonight when Barry informed me of Giggles'
passing the night of Thurs Nov 20, 1997. She couldn't bear life without her
soulmate and decided to join him. The Savage Land is that much poorer for not
having thier online Romeo and Juliette any more. Like the tragic love story,
this too ends in a manner leaving us all wondering if there was anything
more we could have done. Again, our deepest condolences go out to the both
their families in this heart-wrenching time. Goodbye, Violet Poole...
:::Monday November 17, 1997:::
- Hearty congratulations are sent out to Snowbird and her family on the
arrival of Rebecca Lynn on Friday November 7th, 1997 @7:52am!
:::Friday November 14, 1997:::
- It was with incredible shock that I read Barry's post of M's tragic
death (Wed. Nov 12 @7:35am). So young, so full of life, on his way to carving
a life out with Giggles, and to die in such a manner. The Savage Land and all
its denizens offer our deepest condolences to M's friends and family, and
especially to Giggles who was deeply in love with her fiancee and it showed in
each of her posts. I don't know what else to say... Goodbye Philip Samuel
Burton...

financial contributions to The Savage Land. Because of their generosity, we have not only
joined the Long Distance WWIV Networks earlier than expected, but for a longer duration as
well. Also, they have helped in the registration of programs for the benefit of the Land. Thank
you my friends, it makes my heart warm... :)
