Few know that Net 54 was the initial online dating site.

Inspired by the Marvelettes' hit single "Beechwood 45789"

The 5***4 portion of the title is based on encryption of that song title.

Vintage cards were introduced to the site by a gal named Lola

in an effort to get lucky with a member known only as leon.

Interestingly this is the same encryption methodology used by Ebay today.

Was the original web host called network 54 or something?

The original 54 members were all voiced by the same fella. A guest at Bellevue, his Internet access was part of his Occupational Therapy.

54 was Elliot's age when he founded the forum upon the demise of John Spencer's Full Count forum, and also the number of bottles of single malt Macallan he needed to help him recover from a years worth of moderator duties.
