I wonder if it being a commercial BBS had something to do with the demographics?

The underground/hacker/warez boards were pretty male.

Maybe. This was a subscription local BBS as opposed to a commercial service like CIS. But the main board wasn't really an underground/hacker/warez demographic. As I recall it was a pretty civilized atmosphere. Also was definitely post-teenager demographic.
