I worked on BowieNet in around 2000.  He was really very involved in the site and content.  The biggest draw was the members-only concert.<p>Regarding the content.  There was another company that did the design work, a bunch of it in flash; but also in HTML for the message boards and stuff that we integrated into our PHP forum that had all the actual messages stored in MySQL.   I&#x27;m not sure what would have happened to any of that when VillageWorld (the company that did the backend at least initially) went bust in 2004; or if it was migrated away or shut down before that.<p>The live chats were either IRC with a Java web client or we also had an NPH script that we could of used, but I don&#x27;t remember which ended up being &quot;real&quot; at this point.  There were definitely some that were organized and others that were not.
