The
Stage was the first personal website of the person behind Tigote
Design, Melissa Oringer. In the
bad old days, she used to run a BBS; for those who remember terminal
programs, ANSI art, user meets and toll charges, she was the sysop
for The Stage, a proud member of NIRVANAnet(tm) and PODSnet.
When
the Internet entered common usage, BBSing fell to the wayside
since e-mail lists, online chats and web-based discussion boards
were significantly cheaper and more real-time.
The
Stage website was born, featuring her writings, songs, poetry
and a wonderful web-based discussion board in honor of the old
BBS. Click on the thumbnail or link below to see an enlarged screenshot

The
Stage website has since been renamed and redesigned as Blessed
Bees.
