"This BBS was run on an IBM PC/AT 5170 with 640k ram, 20 Seagate ST-225 20 mb hard drives and a 2400 baud external modem. The machine was part of UofI C-U and lived on a table in the graduate student's office in the Theoretical Chemistry building on campus. I ran the BBS remotely from 89 to 90 having never seen it physically until then when the HD crashed. I also ran Midwest Softsource BBS from my family housing on Chanute AFB during the Hacker's Anonymous period and afterwards until Chnaute closed in 93 and I went to Wichita, KS and started another there." - Russ Blakeman

Valhalla
(1992-1993) |
Matt Hucke | WWIV |
|
"VALHALLA began operation on June 12, 1992 on a 286 with 80MB of disk space and a 14,400 bps modem, running DOS 5 and WWIV 4. At that time, a board could be in only one network (using WWIV's proprietary networking), and there was a schism between two major networks, WWIVNet (managed by the author of the software, Wayne Bell "Random #1@1") and WWIVLink, which had broken away about a year before. I joined WWIVNet and became "Starship Trooper #1@2750". Within the next year, however, the software was modified to support multiple networks, and VALHALLA joined WWIVLink as well, as well as several others. Most of the networked "sub-boards" (newsgroups) were related to science fiction, role-playing games, C programming, and WWIV sysop discussions. One user of my system was Tim Skirvin, who was made co-sysop because of his frequent contributions to many "subs", and later became a well-known Usenet personality. Source to WWIV was available to sysops who had paid the $50 registration fee, and we exchanged "mods", or modifications, on networked sub-boards. I created a few trivial mods, but spent much more time developing external utilities, mainly related to WWIV-style networking. Among these were "ELN", a more graphical version of "L-NET", a viewer and editor for spooled messages awaiting transit to the next node, and "STRIPIT", which intercepted incoming messages and applied various filters -- basically implementing system-wide killfile functionality. In December of 1992 the 286 system was upgraded to a 386/25 with 4MB of memory. I hoped to be able to run the BBS under Windows 3.0 and take advantage of multitasking; I quickly learned that Windows was unable to service the serial interrupts fast enough, and the high error rate made any connection unuseable. A month later, I upgraded to OS/2 2.0, which was much more able to handle a high-speed serial connection, even when other programs were running. Like several other local sysops who had come to the same conclusion, I quickly became an OS/2 advocate (and added several OS/2 advocacy subboards). Also in early 1993 I joined Fidonet, where WWIV systems were rather rare, due to the complexity of the gateway software. The board remained extremely popular, with its single phone line in use almost constantly, until August of 1993, when I relocated to the 312 area code (Chicago). In its next incarnation, it was known as "A Clockwork Orange OS/2" - Matt Hucke "History of this BBS is at http://www.cynico.net/~hucke/valhalla.html"

He also had an extensive interactive bar and shop guide. We had some great times.. and all got together at the local bars. Many female users said that they got the number off stall walls :) He went on to start the virtualbiker web site as well as the vbmo around 94 or 95 I havent heard from him in many years.

"I ran Bloom County from 1986 to 1987 while attending the University of Illinois until I graduated in December 1987. Many users took an alias from Bloom County comic strip at the time. We had all kinds of folks, from The Pooch (Jeff Schomer, age 12) to mostly college age users. Some of the users would get together at my college apartment at 604 E. White Street to play Risk, eat pizza, or just hang out. I was also friends with Helen Whatley (Unnamed BBS), Dale Creekmur (Tranquillity II) and Russ Price (CatStar BBS). Helen and Russ are classmates and we had several classes together! We were in the Computer Science curriculum. The sysops in the area were a pretty tight group at the time. We would gather monthly (hosted by Dale, usually) and talk about running our BBS's, users, and so on. It was a great time. I still have a printout from my old Apple ][ with all the users names and addresses. If anyone would like to get a hold of me you can email me at sun@integralcorp.com." - Sun Kwok

"I finaly lost the BBS when the computer crashed, but I was put out of business by the Internet and the freenet that popped up here around 1995 (Prairienet). I went by the nick names Captain Picard, and switched over to Skybok, which I've been using ever since. I started working with BBS's in 1992 when I helped Keith with his after school bbs that ran Maximus. Keith is blind, but that didn't stop him from making a kick ass BBS. He learned from Jim Danley who ran Lucid Dream using Maximus, who is also blind....Once I got a 2400 baud modem in 1993, (I was 13) I started up my bbs right away, using the Maximus software and I talked my mom into buying me a phone line for the thing. I got Keith and other sysops to spread my number around and soon got plenty of callers. I built a large collection of MOD and sound files on my BBS, and also had a large collection of door games, including Tradewars, Land of Devastation and others. Later that year I joined Fido net as a point off of Afterschool BBS. I was point 1:233/8.1 a few months later I got my own node at 1:233/18 I carried alot of news groups aimed at music and such." - Rawley Greene

SLASHER BBS
(1993-2009) |
John Riley and Robert King | TriBBS, ProBoard, Synchronet |
|
"SLASHER BBS was started by John Riley with the help of Robert King, SysOp of Planet Caravan BBS, which later became God and Country Node 2. It started off in Feb. of 1993, as a private BBS for the two users, John Riley and Robert King to quickly exchange files and chat if needed. In March of 1993, we both decided to open our BBS to the public. TriBBS had a high price for it's registeration, so the two SysOps started looking for other software to run their BBS. In early or mid summer of 1993 Rob King was introduced to Dave Wright, SysOp of God and Country Node 1. He ran God and Country Node 1, using ProBoard BBS software. ProBoard was hardly crippled at all in it's shareware state, and Robert King suggested to John Riley, he switch over to ProBoard as he was doing. He was also going to become God and Country Node 2. John switched over and several users were happy. Infact one even donated a 28.8 Baud Modem which was the fastest speed at the time. SLASHER BBS ran in Decatur, IL until around April of 1998, when the SysOp moved to Tupelo, MS. He looked for other local SysOps, but had found only ghostly traces of the old BBSes. However with the help of some online SysOps, John Riley turned SLASHER BBS into a telnet ProBoard BBS. After a few years, and ProBoard being murder by Pat Clawson, John Riley, finally switch over to a Synchronet system.... Which he still mods every chance he gets to make it more like his old ProBoard system. You can reach SLASHER BBS via telnet @ telnet://slasherbbs.com Thank you!" - John Riley ""SLASHER BBS was started by John Riley with the help of Robert King, SysOp of Planet Caravan BBS, which later became God and Country Node 2.

John switched over and several users were happy. Infact one even donated a 28.8 Baud Modem which was the fastest speed at the time. SLASHER BBS ran in Decatur, IL until around April of 1998, when the SysOp moved to Tupelo, MS. He looked for other local SysOps, but had found only ghostly traces of the old BBSes. However with the help of some online SysOps, John Riley turned SLASHER BBS into a telnet ProBoard BBS. After a few years, and ProBoard being murder by Pat Clawson, John Riley, finally switch over to a Synchronet system.... Which he still mods every chance he gets to make it more like his old ProBoard system. I finally have purchased the rights to the ProBoard software, and went back in 2006 to using it. We are working hard every free chance we get to completing a 32Bit and 64Bit version of ProBoard. I may no long live in Decatur, Illinois, but you can reach SLASHER BBS via telnet @ telnet://slasherbbs.com Thank you!" - John Riley"

"Ran this BBS in conjunction with running (remotely and physically) of Hacker's Anonymous on the U-I C-U campus. This BBS was my own personal BBS run initially on a Sanyo MBC-555-2 with 4 floppies (no HD) using Fido then upgrading to a 286 era machine with 40 mb RLL HD and 2 floppies and 2400 baud external modem. It evolved to other BBS platforms to eventually having BinkleyTerm for mail/front end, door games, Fidonet, etc. Closed it down in early 1993 when I had to pack to move for a move to Wichita/McConnell AFB as Chanute was closing." - Russ Blakeman
