A Bulletin Board from the backside of the internet

That looks impressive and very much 90s. Something like that for OCC25 would attract attention I think. Below from the OCC Web page write up... "Of all the OCCs I've participated in, I'd say this was the most productive but least rewarding." I know what you mean. Although I did not have to...
