"I | ran Normandeau Newswire as a SIG there. Favorite amongst | readers was "Filthy Food for Thought" which were | highlights of FDA recalls which at that time I had to get | via dial-up from FDA. I published the list of "Allowable | Filth Limits in Food". When it went down, there were | OVER 100 phone lines. In last few years there came about | an FCC MONTHLY surcharge of a few dollars on each phone | line. BSS was in its hayday during DOS. Mew computers | came with Windows and preloaded with AOL or other on-line | GUI software so people didn't go hunting for BBSs to | call. Declining revenue VS escalating cost brought it | down." - Ray

I think its | story is mildly interesting, so... here's a brief | summary. I ran VTUG-BBS for somewhere between 2 and 3 | years, starting in the fall of 1982, first on a VIC-20 | and then on a C-64. I wrote the software, RAVICS, which | was -- I believe -- the first BBS available for these | machines. VTUG stood for VIC Technical Users' Group, | although I never really got a user's group off the ground | - the BBS was all there was to it. The BBS was initially | fairly simple - a single message base and "chat with the | sysop" - but rapidly developed into a reasonably | interesting system with multiple message bases, private | mail, tree-structured conferencing, and uploads/downloads | (which were, however, a relatively unimportant part of | the BBS's culture - this was long before the warez days). | I think the user base was a couple hundred and the system | was off-hook pretty much 24 hours a day at the peak. I | wrote the software on a VIC-20 shortly after obtaining | the VICmodem (for my 13th birthday - I'd received the VIC | for Christmas a few months before!) and hacking up a | simple autoanswer device for it. I'm sure it was the | first, and possibly the only BBS on a VIC-20. Without | really setting out to do so, I sold a few copies of it | and I bought the C-64 with the proceeds shortly after its | release. Of course I promptly "ported" the BBS to the | 64, so RAVICS was probably the first BBS software | available for the C-64 as well - this was at a time when | virtually all BBSs, at least in 212, ran on Apple IIs, | TRS-80s, etc. In the next couple of years I ran VTUG and | sold a reasonable number of copies of RAVICS to sysops | around the country (despite having no advertising other | than the BBS itself).
"In 1984 I sold the C-64, sold | the rights to RAVICs, and bought an IBM PC XT. I made | some half-hearted attempts to write a BBS for the PC, and | ran some third-party software for a while at 534-3149, | but I was in high school by then and I was spending too | much time thinking about girls and mathematics. I | relinquished the title of sysop and became instead a | user: a denizen of the legendary Ailanthus Tree. Thanks | for a site that brings back some memories from nearly 20 | years ago - although my BBS is far from the only | interesting one from those days that is missing from your | 212 list! Let me know if you're interested in any of the | others I remember... BTW I posted a message to Usenet in | 2002 requesting info about the later life of RAVICS | (after I sold it) - archived at | http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/software/COMMODORE/VIC- | 20/RAVICS/adam.txt and | http://mail.textfiles.com/pipermail/cosysops/2003- | February/000046.html, but note that the email address I | gave in the message is no longer active. That message | gives a few more details about VTUG/RAVICS. I never | received any replies, unfortunately, so I still don't | know what happened to RAVICS later on, though I know that | there were BBSs running RAVICS for at least a few years | more...." - Adam Jacobs --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-534-3716 | NYMUG | NYCZ 2, NY (1985) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-534-8557 | FIDO #204 Noble-House, Noble House | NYCZ 2, NY (1984-1985) SYSOP | Jonathan Youngwood SOFTWARE | FidoNet --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-535-8924 | DEC-WARE, DEC-WARE (Fido 79), FIDO #79 DEC-WARE | NYCZ 2, NY (1984-1985) SYSOP | Matt Kanter, Matthew Kanter SOFTWARE | FidoNet --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-535-9006 | Haz-Mat II, RoadKill | New York, NY (1993-1997) SYSOP | Joshua Levitsky, Joshua Levitsky (Joshie) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-541-5975 | MMMMMM#2 | NYCZ 1, NY (1983-1984) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-542-3859 | Forem ST | NEW YORK CITY, NY (1989-1991) SYSOP | Carmelo Marrero --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-543-3923 | Arabian Dezert | NYCZ 3, NY --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-543-6470 | Forgotten Machine | NYCZ 3, NY (1988-1989) SYSOP | Manny Gonzalez --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-545-7956 | Anescomp Medical BBS | NYCZ 1, NY (1989-1991) SYSOP | Jim Mihalcik MD --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-547-4210 | After Hours BBS | NEW YORK CITY, NY (1987-1994) SYSOP | Ed Kitty --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-548-0380 | Forgotten Machine, ForgottenMach, The Forgotten Machine | NEW YORK CITY, NY (1991-1994) SYSOP | Manny Gonzalez --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 212-562-5161 | Fever, Fever BBS | Bronx, NY (1987-1992) SYSOP | Victor M.

In late 1978 we took a KIM-1 and | used it as a controller so that we could run Ward's [now | modified - poorly] code to accomodate multiple lines: by | the time 1979 became the year you remembered to write on | your checks, we had 2 lines available on a 24x7 basis. | This was *extremely* unusual in 1979: CBBS was still on | it's birth curve, and only supported a single "user". | I've been wanting to send this in for years, but I | couldn't find any floppies (8 inchers: if there's any | left, it should be obvious, right?) or flyers.
