About iRev.net Inner Revolution BBS first originated as a dial up Bulletin Board System back in Escondio, California, just north of San Diego. The BBS was home to over 600 users of which 50 to 80 visitors called up every day. Before the Internet computer users shared email and played online games through numerous Bulletin Board Systems, and while there were many boards to choose from, IR remained popular because of its simplicity, its quality, and that there were no service charges. Inner Revolution greeted visitors with this message: We have always fought for change; out with the old ideas, in with the new. Always trying to better the world around us. Now it is time to change ourselves. Look inside your soul and find who you really want to be. And then make the change for a better person. Make the Inner Revolution come true in both your mind and soul. iRev gracefully evolved from a single modem to multiple lines, from a stand-alone message system to one networked with hundreds of other bulletin boards, and finally moved onto the Internet. Many of the users stayed with IR through the growth and changes, and even now, years later, the community still exists. iRev now hosts friends and family who use iRev's services for their web sites and hobbies. iRev at its most popular hosted over 400 websites ranging from online journals, political and religious commentary, comic strips, galleries of art, personal home pages, and commercial web apps. It was common in iRev's busiest times to have 10 gigabytes of web traffic served to over 100,000 unique visitors each day.
