Cyber1.org is a group of people dedicated to the preservation of the world's first computer-based community, PLATO.
PLATO is a computer-based educational system created at the University of Illinois Control Systems Laboratory. The idea was first discussed at the University in 1959, in a long series of meetings led by Chalmers Sherwin. At these meetings it was concluded that computer-based education should not be pursued. However, the director at the time, Daniel Alpert, got together with Donald Bitzer to see if Don could quickly come up with a prototype that could serve as proof-of-concept. This prototype, running on an Illiac-I, became PLATO. The project was subsequently funded in 1960 by government money from the Joint Services Program. The lab grew and became the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL). PLATO eventually spawned a variety of commercial ventures, starting in 1975 with Control Data Corporation (CDC), a mainframe computer manufacturer founded in 1957.

IRATA.ONLINE is provided for the benefit of retro-computing users to have a place to socialize, and develop interesting multi-user, interactive, and graphical games and social applications. It descends from the historical PLATO system, a massive time-sharing system that lasted from 1962 until NovaNET was closed in 2015. More than a BBS but a bit less than a commercial computing service.
Multiuser. Graphical, so it requires its own cross-platform software. Online games, social network, realtime chat, online development of new applications for the service in a language called Tutor. Has its own client software, PTERM.
Supports PLATO clients for all of the 8-bit retrocomputers out there, the Atari and Commodore in particular.

A small hobby software PBX for the tildeverse. So far users can make calls, leave voicemails and participate in a multi-user conference with more features to come. The numbers are loosely broken down by tilde, with each tilde having its own prefix "area code." It's set aside for tilde users only, and is not connected to the PSTN - you have to be an active tilde user just to get the admin's attention.
