You mentioning high school and WWIV got me thinking.  There were not too
many long-running WWIV boards in the area I lived in c1988-1997.  Most of
them were were like Commodore boards... up for a while and then
disappeared.  But there was one that was up for most of that period, until
BBSing started to wane.  It was run by one of the local high school
computer departments.  Considering that kids are only in high school so
long before moving on, looking back I am surprised it stayed active for more
than 4 years.
