    Not sure how stable it is tonight.... the message base isn't working:

     

    [1 Min] Command: To Board #1


    Going To Board #1

    Invalid Board Number

    [4 Min] Command:
     

     

    And I tried to leave you feedback about it, but the 'F'eedback option didn't work:

     

    [4 Min] Command: Feedback To Sysop

    Hold On...
    [5 Min] Command:
     

     

    -JP

    This is the kind of stuff that needs to be on the BBS library... call it 'The story of this BBS' or something...

    folks appreciate the backstory these day!

    Agreed and just like most of us these days, many projects and well if it wasn't for the current disruption and so much behind the keyboard time, I would not have ventured this far.. I'm intrigued by the current increase of BBS's overall as the social change from the big platforms to the smaller groups and forums is giving a space back to the people who started all of this with message boards and the excitement of cracking a game.. So many great innovation during the time which have not been published and gave foundation to a generation and built the backbone of the technology today... Legends to us and unknowns to the generations.. The documentaries on the topic don't even touch the surface..

    I am so confused as the BBS is not running on AMIS and in the North East, not in the South... Topsy-turvy !

    Its also not 1984... So nothing literal and mostly for nostalgia.. Here is the story:

     

    I have always been captivated by building networks, either technology, social, or creative. From the 80's and my first commodore vic-20 to the getting smart and converting to Atari, bigger, faster and the more connected the better.

     

    We ran southern comfort dial up bbs on a highly modified fast amis program called southern amis created and improved by a local group of sysops. Machine language was added, online slots, blackjack and of course plenty of downloads.. The author was The Griff and freely shared his upgrades and the platform with our group which included South of the Border, sysop Pedro. We all took down our board around 1988 or so along with the Bandits Hideout as other local boards (New York) were disappearing the same as the rest of the country.. Forem, Amis, BBS Express, Oasis, and a bunch of other platforms of course were quickly replaced by the web.. Long forgotten but always packed away well, my 8-bit Atari hardware close by and when the Wi-Modem was created by CB Design, I went to work on brining back some old work.. Seems i'm not alone as 20+ boards are now running via telnet..
