Nathan Cobleigh | Maximus |
|
"Known to his friends as "Nate", the Sysop of this BBS (age 13) was one of the greatest of all time. His website was unique in design as it ran the premier software of its time and offered the ability to board an elevator with different virtual floors. The message forums would be on one floor, the games on another, and files on the last. He learned a lot about the Maximus system from his friend, Josua Mazess, who ran the Opus Penguin or Outland BBS until 2003! Both their BBS's were far superior to other local BBS's in content, membership and design. "In 1994, (age 17) Nathan received an award from the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce for his successful website Comp-u-plex BBS. "After the BBS days ended, Nathan focused on the internet and the revolution that was coming. In 2001, (age 21) He created a company called eOrders LLC. (www.eorders.com) The company generates increased revenues for restaurant owners by enabling their customers to order their food online. The company has grown under the leadership of his close friends Tedra Cordisio, Wade Neumeister, and Jason Maher. In an unexpected and very unfortunate event, Nathan passed away in 2004 at only age 24 from complications during a surgery. His company passed to his parents whom have successfullly grown it in his memory. Nathan Cobleigh was a true pioneer and visionary of his time and is missed terribly by his friends and family." - Jason Maher

"Originally from the 301 (now 410) Baltimore area, I started The Insurrection during my college years in the 215 area code. Consequently the board was down during the summer months but I remember users quickly joining back up. I ran WWIV for the first year then switched to Telegard (can't remember exactly why). The board ran on a USR Courier HST/DS,386/25Mhz with 387, 4mb RAM, 2 320mb ESDI Hard Disks that made the computer sound like a Jet was taking off. I also had one of the first CD-ROM drives for the board which hosted a number of the "classic" apps in the files section. I seem to remember being in a WWIV type net but for some reason that doesn't sound right since Telegard boards were banned from WWIV net. I've been thinking about putting The Insurrection back online for the heck of it. Keep checking http://www.The-Insurrection.com." - The Icon Warrior

The Vulcan (Tom Woolman) | ARB BBS and others |
|
"This was one of the earlier BBS set up in Bucks County. It was such a cool board! I started it in 1987 on a HEAVILY modified Commodore 64, running an early version of ARB BBS software. That modified C64 had an extra video chip (VID chip), 2 5.25" 1541 model 170k floppies, and two "massive" high density 5.25" 1.44MB floppy drives. We had a huge war board, role playing game message boards with some outrageous game titles that the SysOp and friends invented. We had a great download section for some of our early custom programs, and we used to have several BBS parties, and sometimes even some girl users would show up! Best memory: The Starbase 2000 BBS vs. Shadows Keep BBS laser tag battle. It was held late on a Saturday night at Edgewood school, around 1988. The BBS started out being called Starbase One, and ran on that Commodore 64 for about 2 years. Then around 1988-89 I upgraded to an Amiga 500 and had a "massive" 20MB external hard drive, and started running new AmigaBBS software. The name was changed to Starbase 2000. Finally towards the end of it's reign and my senior year in high school I changed the name to Midnight Peace BBS. Other funny memories: hacker forums, hidden message boards, busting on The Wing and his retard friends and plotting revenge, hacking Haven of Rest BBS which was a sucky religious loser BBS, and meeting a lot of interesting and also a lot of strange people. Good memories!" - The Vulcan (Tom Woolman)

"Maxwell Smart founded KAOS in late 1984, and ran it until April 1986. Captain Infinity took over the board at that time, and ran it until it closed. (Source: http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=259) KAOS ran until about 1989 or 1990 (date approximate). At some time before it finally closed down, Captain Infinity moved out of the house where the system lived, leaving KAOS running in his old room. The system would sometimes go down, and stay down for days at a time, until the Cap'n could either visit it, or relay instructions to his mother for rebooting it. The software was not really stable enough for "lights out" operation...." - Pat

High Voltage BBS!
(1986-1992) |
Steve Basciano | Wildcat |
|
"High Voltage BBS!, was started in 1986. I was 15 years old. Originally using a commodore 128 with a 300 baud modem. Over the years I saved money from working and kept upgrading as much as I could afford. Computer equipment was outrageously expensive back then. I eventually upgraded to a Radio Shack 8086 processor computer, then 80286, 80386, and then finally a 80486 processor computer. I was using Wildcat BBS with windows DOS and Quarterdeck's Desqview and QEMM programs which allowed me to run multiple nodes. In the final years of High Voltage BBS!, I was running 3 nodes, lots of registered online games, many chat boards, utilized two different relay email systems, and had a huge user base. It was a great learning experience and made many friends with people all over the world as well as the local other BBS sysops. Eventually private BBS's lost user interests due to AOL, Prodigy, and Compuserve. Even though all three of those systems were extremely expensive and charged by the minute for most features!!!" - Steve Basciano

"I ran this system and the Philly Vertex echomail collection system for many years. It originally started in the mid 1980s in a SWTP 6809 with dual 180k 8-inch floppy systems with a 300 baud acoustic modem running CP/M. Years later in the same apt complex a pretty sharp guy who eventually ran the entire Zone 1 Fidonet email system named George Peace. I would walk to his apt and we woudl drink pepsi and watch the lights blink on the hard drives (big 40 meg units!!!!) and supervise the echomail getting processed and write DOS batch programs. (its 2013 September and i am on Long Island for many years, this is great stuff) had this url since my son was born in 1994 and i took the systems down and let the internet process the packets and email." - Thomas Lynch

"The phone number given is the phone number of the time my BBS was up and running. Since then the area code has changed to 610. Infact, the phone number is still in use at my parents house for their computer to access the internet. The hardware specs of The Hideout in it's day was: 1 Commodore 64
1 512K Memory Expansion Unit
2 1541 5 1/4" Floppy
1 1571 5 1/4" Floppy
1 1581 3 1/2" Floppy
1 IEEE Hi Density Double Sided Drive (I don't remember the model)
A generic 2400 Baud Hayes Modem I love the idea of this list. BBS's were a significant part of my life as a teenager and influenced me to start a career in computers. May the history of the BBS live on. Most kids today won't even know what a BBS was."

The Dragon's Den
(1985-1993) |
Collin Rodolitz | |
|
"I started my BBS when I was around 13. I ran it on an Atari 800XL with a 300 baud modem, both a gift from my grandfather. I used BBS software written in Basic, but I don't remember the name. Little by little, I made edits to the software to add small new features here and there and to give it a more custom feel. The BBS was named CHR's board when I first started it and shortly after I renamed it to The Dragon's Den. I set it up just as a fun project. As soon as I had been on a few BBSes and got a hold of the software, that was it. It sparked my love for programming after I printed out the basic code and started figuring it our little by little... it's no surprise I'm a software developer now. "I really got a kick out of people 'Paging the sysop' and I was usually up pretty late chatting with my users who paged me. My sysop name from Dragonmaster Bink, if I remember correctly. I used the name Bink after a character in a book I really loved at the time A Spell From Chameleon. "The sad thing was the reason I eventually shut the site down... the floppy disk with software I had customized so much, for such a long time and that had all my user's accounts on it corrupted and I didn't have any more backups! I didn't want to start over making all the changes I had made, so I gave it up." - Collin Rodolitz
