  • Most memorable modern BBS

    What was your most beautiful BBS
    experience in modern timeslet's say,
    within the last 10 years or so? One
    where you'd say, "Good thing those old
    BBS dinosaurs are still around here
    and there!"

    I've had many truly amazing
    experiences...
    Like receiving great hardware donations
    from Snobsoft (my BBS) users. But the
    most recent event with my Australian BBS
    video (see Ads Section) is something I
    find particularly awesome right now. In
    the Australian video about SX-64 user
    Troy Duncan, I start off, among other
    things, with a music video from Men At
    Work ("Down Under"). And what does Troy
    tell me? The guitarist from Men At Work
    lives on his street! What an incredible
    coincidence.
    I'm still grinning about it.

    Alright, now it's your turn! :D

    Thank you for a good post. I enjoy CJs place because the sysop there
    plays games with us. Xbit BBS is a great gaming place as well.

    I don't know if this is the place, but I would like to extend my thanks
    to all of you who keep the boards running. I liked the community in the
    past and still find it engaging and fun.

    I love to play Tradewars and I did try my hand at running a BBS back in
    the early 90's but I wasn't very good at it. So my hats off to all of
    you sysop's who take the time to run the boards for all of us.

    Needless to say, I still love to play TW and I'm thankful for all of
    you guys. Not just CJ and Rick but each and every one of you.

    Thanks!

    I think it's interesting that I've been running my current BBS longer than I ran my original BBS in the 90s.. I enjoy running it, and I plan to keep running it (at least for a while), as long as the community is still active.

    I was just thinking that same thing the other day. In my case it's now
    been about twice as long as when I ran in the 90s. Doesn't seem like
    it, though.

    What all nets do you have?

    I joined Battleship because it has a TON, but there's a 20 message limit per day...

    Awesome - thx - I have an account there - didn't realize it was
    Digital Distortion. Was thinking it was a different one. :-)

    Good to have a backup!
