The Bay Area Boat System club, better known as BABS, is celebrating 20 years of hoverboat flight events. Founded two decades ago, BABS has become one of the longest-running and most active clubs in the virtual world There.com. Every Wednesday night, members and participants gather for a hoverboat flotilla, a signature event that has brought fun, excitement, and community to the platform for years. This 20th anniversary marks a significant milestone, reflecting the enduring popularity and spirit of camaraderie that BABS has fostered within the There.com world.

Each week, the BABS club meets for their signature hoverboat flotilla, where Thereians are invited to hop into a hoverboat flown by a BABS captain. Whether you’re in the mood to relax and take in the scenic virtual landscapes or eager to take on a more active role, the event offers something for everyone. Guests can enjoy the ride as passengers, soaking in the views as they glide through the virtual world. For those looking for adventure, there’s the opportunity to pilot one of the hoverboats and navigate the tour yourself, adding an exciting challenge to the experience.

If you’ve ever gone on a tour in There.com, you’ve probably noticed one of the giant BABS towers. These iconic structures are scattered across the virtual world, strategically placed on different islands. The BABS towers play a vital role in the weekly flotilla, providing a convenient landing point for hoverboats as they conclude their scenic journey. Climbing the ladder to the top of one of these towers offers a breathtaking view of the virtual landscape, making it a favorite spot for participants to relax and enjoy the sights after the ride. The towers not only serve a practical purpose but have become a symbol of the BABS community and its longstanding hoverboat tradition.
