Description
MontagueMA.net was started in September 1999 by Michael Muller as a response to his surprise at the appearance of a large festival in the town he just moved into, Montague. It was Old Home Days, and as he drove slowly through the throng, marvelling that such a quaint little town could hold such a fun and festive event, he asked himself "How come nobody told me about this?!?"
Michael resolved to build a website that would allow residents to post notices of upcoming events and general discussions of things going on in town. The result is the website you are now viewing.
The MontagueMA.net website was originaly written in Perl, with only a single corkboard, a calendar (which was a little quirky), and a business listing (which was manually maintained), none of which was connected to a user account. Michael re-wrote the whole thing in Cold Fusion with an Access2000 database in December of 2001 to automate as much user interaction as possible.
