There's no question this BBS existed, but it doesn't pass WP:GNG. There are a few small references to it based on its porn category but there's hardly any coverage of it.

Delete per nom. Some passing mentions in blogs but not much in the way of WP:RS. The only thing close would be Wired [1] but even this is just a few sentences about profitability and porn. LizardJr8 (talk) 21:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, decent amount of coverage in various sources.--Surv1v4l1st ^{▌Talk|Contribs▌} 17:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your big improvements. Can you tell me if there is some depth of coverage in any of the sources? I think all of the books are basically a mention, Wired is two paragraphs. The Oregonian is 500 words and should count for significant coverage, any others? tedder (talk) 19:00, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. In addition to the WIRED and Oregonian articles, the article in Boardwatch is over 1,600 words and covers the 3D astronomy simulator they developed, in addition to the other aspects of the BBS. The entry in The Joy of Cybersex is a couple paragraphs. Some of the books were just a paragraph or a blurb, but added details.--Surv1v4l1st ^{▌Talk|Contribs▌} 21:22, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
