Reunion of Guppies from the 90's

Pre-1995 I used to run several bots on irc channels, mainly pakistan. With my gang of bot-owners, we totally dominated the scene. I still remember the bot wars and channel take overs. But in the peace times, I saw amazing amount of text flow that could be archived for coming generations. I saw the need to preserve knowledge and conversations. My first try was to archive the logs and display them via web pages. Within days, I realized that web is as good a form of discussion as irc and started looking for software that could support the environment. GupShup was born on my kitchen table. The first iteration was a horrible piece of crap and open registration system. I went to Pakistan and logged in on a 2.8K modem to check out things. It took me 3 hours to clean hate posts directed at yours truly. It was in Lahore that I decided to buy the first closed registration system where new members will have to be approved before they can start posting. This was the best decision of GS history and to this day, has proved to be a successful model. Starting 1996, GS went through rapid changes until 1999. Thereafter, I decided to bring changes only in long hauls. As the forums grew, I assembled a team of moderators. Muzna became our first Director. And the story goes on.
