• Valhalla / DesotoFireflite

    From Kirkman@VERT/GUARDIAN to All on Tue Aug 18 13:57:51 2020
    Hi all,

    I've been away from the scene for a bit, and today was trying to connect to the Valhalla BBS TradeWars server, but no luck.

    Does anyone know what happened to Valhalla BBS and C.G. Learn / DesotoFireflite?

    Does anyone know what happened to Valhalla BBS and C.G. Learn / DesotoFireflite

    I seem to remember reading a message (not sure which echo) that the
    Valhalla server, and possibly the whole BBS, was being taken down without
    much notice. I got the impression that the sysop had decided it was time
    to switch hobbies.

    I might be confusing it with another TW server, but I don't think so.

    I saw a similar message awhile back, if I remember right. Regardless,
    I haven't seen him in the echoes in a long time.

    He posted to a Facebook group that I read that he took them pernamently offline. He hadn't touched them in over a year and didn't feel that they were worth keeping up.

    Also, I think with COVID-19 he may be also having some financial issues.

    Welcome back!

    I haven't heard of Valhalla BBS? What's the IP/url?

    BBSLink and Door Party have Trade Wars servers that are very easy to connect to.

    I seem to recall seeing something about that on the email list for Battlnet, too.
