"I closed Hartland Pride in 2003, due to a lack of callers.. At one time, Livingston County had as many as 30 BBSs running. The Internet surely had a huge impact on us, as well as many of the Sysops leaving home for college. I don't think there are any BBSs online at this time.. I am a member of the Livingston County Computer Users Group: http://www.lccug.org I enjoyed running HP, and have many fond memories." - Mike Ryan

I was happy to see my 90's IBM version BBS, but was hoping to find info about my 80's BBS as it was very popular for a few years. I had the first Atari 835 modem BBS in existence. 300 baud!! Then went to a 1200 Hayes compat modem. :) Jim Steinbrecher gave me some beta drivers and I modified his software to work with mine. Ahhh...the good old days. Darn hormones destroyed everything when I got in my mid to late teens. :( hahaha" - Don Peruski

"Hi All, I ran this delightfull BBS from '87 - late '91. I had a great helper in redesigning and adding to the Renagade software. Brian Giles was a great help and encentive to keep the system running. I ran the system on a Commodore 64 and as it was only 300 baud we had to rewrite it to work at about 600 baud. In about the later part of '88 we upgraded to a 1200 baud modem and we called it a bee Boo modem because it was a two toned (mid to low) looking for which mode it would connect with 600 or 1200 baud. One Way was designed and ran to promote living a Christ like lifestile and to educate others on the Salvation plan. I met my Christian wife (Sheryl) through running this system. the system ran till late '91 from the Commodore to the software being redesigned for an IBM Clone system and was dropped in late 1991 due to lack of calls and interest.." - John Kupel

(1986-2001) Anton Malje | Oasis 4.x, later Renegade |
"Originally started in Plymouth Twp., MI. on an Atari 800XL with an Atari 400 handling the connection or deferal to recording a voice message. The original name was 'Tari Tech and it supported the eight bit Atari family and ran on the first version of Oasis Jr, which was a small but powerful ML program. In 1988 the system followed me to Dearborn and eventually evolved to Oasis 4.3, and later 4.6. With 4.6 the BBS acted like 4 BBSs in one as 'Tari Tech, 'Tari ForeST, Big Blue Globe and Spiral Springs; supporting Atari eight bit, Atari ST, IBM (and Amiga), and a place for Philosophy and Metaphysics, which sadly didn't get much use. At that point I was running An Atari 130 XE with expanded memory and CSSs "Black Box" with a couple hard drives. Eventully I ended running the system on an IBM clone I put together runn ing Renegade for the last few years but by then usership had declined to a trickle. After '99 calls were down to a few calls per WEEK. The heydays were back when the Merit Dialouts were available and the western 313 area BBSs recieved calls from all over. I was also networked via Oasis for a number of years with seveal boards including two in New Zealand. I really miss the old BBS community." - Anton Malje

"Hello, Just wanted to say HI and what a great site you have! I almost said "board"! I ran The Serial Port for those very fun years and enjoyed it very much. When we moved to Texas, the board went with me, but alas, never caught on. About that time, the internet was picking up steam, and BBS business was on the decline. I still have the (486) computer, CD drives, software, and a ton of 14.4 modems in the basement. Maybe some day I'll fire it up, just for laughs! Of course, there's always Ebay, the ultimate BBS!! Great job on your site!" - Stu Jackson, X-Sysop, Lansing, MI"

"Started on a Atari 800XL with a MPP 300 baud modem, using AMIS software from MACE. (I was a member at 14.). Switched to a Signalman 1200 baud modem and revised software. Upon receiving one of the first IBM PC-AT's in 1985, switched to Fido software. In 1986, started dating - so the board was shut down! (Note: Your listing showed the name as Cutting Boad, instead of Board. The name was a play on the word Board, although I was producing short films at the time, and my film teacher was working with Michael Moore on Roger and Me.) Ps: Great documentary!" - Doug Geiss

(1985-1993) Eric Kimminau | Renegade, Telegard, Celerity, UBBS |
"I actually started this board down in Dallas on a original IBM Xt, 8Mhz, 1MB ram, 10MB Harddrive. It slowly grew in size and went multi-line in 1987. My board was geared to people looking for any and every kind of utility: anti-virus, disk compression, diagnostics (PCTools & Norton 1.0!), modem dialers, BBS software, toolkits, ascii art and BBS doors. I think at one time I had about 30 doors running on my boards. I ran DOS based software under DesqView/X for the last 3-4 years so I could run both nodes from a single system and have a 3rd local node for maintenance. I became the South Central US USTG (US Telegard Network) which them became the ITCNet FIDO Network regional Host working with Jack Reece, Paul Maner and Jack Schofield (who took over for me when I moved to Michigan). I am listed in the ITCNet Guidelines here: http://textfiles.com/bbs/FIDONET/itcguide.txt and on the Routing map here: http://textfiles.com/bbs/FIDONET/itcroute.pol These (USTGNet, ITCNet) were FidoNet style networks but it wasn't a part of FidoNet per se. We were a standalone, isolated network (because FidoNet was such a big bunch of wankers at the time). Then I moved to Michigan and became not only the North Regional Hub but the Central US Zone coordinator and a regional FidoNet hub. Serviced Auburn Hts, Leonard, Auburn Hills, Sylvan Lake, Milford, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Troy, CLarkston, Waterford, Taylor. I was the first to distribute out the huge M.O.D. Bust info http://www.textfiles.com/news/modbust.txt I participated in a number of "Warez" and "Cracking" groups. With three other friends we started "S.A.T.A.N" and released the first crack for the original Mech Warrior game. If only I had thought that this info would ever be needed. I donated about 200GB of tape backups and my tape drive to Goodwill about 2 years ago which had 8 years of FidoNet, USTGNet and ITCNet netmail and BBS lists. Such is life. My BBS went down when I started getting serious about Linux. I started the alt.sport.photon internet newsgroup and had one of the first FidoNet/ITCNet to Internet News gateways. Shouts to Freddy Krueger and the ElmStreet Crew, BK, Jim Kitchen, Charlie Riess, Jack Reece, Paul Maner, Jack Schofield, Midnight Oil (1 & 2), Cool Hand, INC, THG and RAZOR. I now run BeamSport, http://beamsport.com which is really just another BBS. I have now come full circle." - Eric Kimminau

Detroit, MI Club II, CLUB II BBS, The Club, The Club II |
(1981-Present) Terry Conklin, Terence Conklin, Unknown | Fido/Renegade |
"Came across an old email that mentioned your site, and I can help with the specifics of my own boards, which are a bit off. However the story is a bit complex, so I'm not sure how you would choose to represent it, so here's the chain of events. My system, The Club, (Not "Club I") came online in either late 1980 or 1981 (no records of the actual date exist so call it '81) on a TRS-80 Model 1 on my own software, at the phone number 313-334-8877. The original modem was a Radio Shack non-auto-answer unit and I answered calls manually at first(!) In fall '83 I moved to East Lansing, (Michigan State,) and The Club came with me, and opearted full time in our dorm room, a 517 number. Since there were a lot of calls, I set up a second system, "The Club II", (not "Club II or Club II BBS") on the Detroit number, on a DOS box. The Club and Club II did limited message and file sharing to tie the communities together. In '84 it was up in the dorms again, then I met my wife and we moved into our own place, and it went up on.... 517-372-0004? We were there a year and then picked up a new house, and with it the 517-372-3131 number, so that'd be 1985. I ordered multiple lines, and another TRS-80. A year or so later I rewrote the system on Unix with a multiport card. The Club continued to operate at 372-3131 until December of 2000. The Club II is still up, still at the original 313-334-8877, (though the area code was changed to 248,) and it's also telnet'able at theclub.conklinsystems.com, though there are essentially no callers now. I'm not sure how you would want to map that into your listing format, but as I've maintained a BBS at the 334-8877 number for ~25 years now, I'm pretty sure your existing entries need an update. ;-)" - Terence Conklin As a footnote, I still have The Club's original hardware, that TRS-80 Model I, overclocked 200%, still running strong. On rare occasions, I've had a 'retro' day and allowed people to log in to the original hardware via telnet (through a PC.) At this point though I'm starting to see disks losing sectors, as I believe I'm at the chemical age limit of magenetic media.

"Hello, I just found this site and noticed that the information for my BBS was wrong. I started my BBS on a C64 running C-Net, I had a Lt Kernel and 4 SFD's (A lot of space for the day) I don't remember when I switched to a pc, but I ran TAG software for a long time. I got into the AMIGA for awhile and called the board Enterprize Amiga for awhile then when I got into the elite scene, I called the board Enterprize Elite. During the early 90's my ex wife (The Not So Humble Babe) was a member of THG and then she formed USA and joined with Fairlight to form USA/Fairlight cracking group. My board was the eastern HQ for USA and a member site of THG for awhile. All of this came to an end the day that the Feds, Secret Service, and the Farmington Hills police came knocking on the door. While I ended up getting off (Since I had nothing to do with the credit card stuff that she was into)I had to quit running the elite bbs for awhile, I switched to public domain but I ended up allowing elite software after awhile (Old habits die hard)I did continue to run the BBS until I moved and even then I put it back up for a few months but the internet killed the BBS world and I took the system down in 1998. In the last few years, I ran Excalibur software, it looked cool and let me display background pictures for each area on the board, this worked well with my Star Trek theme. I don't know if he will ever see this, But I have to give credit to Vern Looney of the Looney Bin BBS (Long gone C-NET board), he gave me my start as a co-sysop and tought me all about the Detroit bbs world. Despite all we have with the internet, I really miss the good old days of running a bbs and the community that it offered." - Scott Sabo

"The psycho zone was in Mount Clemens, Michigan. TMPsycho is...The Master Psycho. My son and I built this BBS on a Commodore 64. The main reason that I say that you have us on this list is..HORST MANN would compile these BBS numbers from an actual log on and log off. If he could log on to and log off your computer, your BBS would make the HORST MANN LIST. This list was downloadable and was a high point in the creating of a BBS if your number was on the list." - Paul LaCroix

(1987-1995) Burt LeSarge | Wildcat |
"The Praise Board was the second Christian BBS to be in South East Michigan (I'd give credit to the first but I can't remember the name). In its glory days I had 4 telephone lines incoming, a satellite dish to continually receive hundreds of FIDO Mail topics. Twice daily weather reports (automatically updated via a script I wrote that logged in to what was the beginning of the internet (ALL TEXT) and get the weather info. To top it all off I had 24 CD ROM Disks of free, or shareware software utilizing 4, 6 disk pioneer drive changers on-line, pulse whatever I could cram on my 80 Gig hard drive. As far as I know it was the largest system in Michigan at the time. It consisted of 5 networked, DOS, multi-tasking computers (DeskView) to do background processing and handle live callers. The computers were located on my closet floor (grin). I averaged over 100 calls per day, and to think that was alot back then. Now my Websites receive thousands of hits per day. Those were the days!" - Burt LeSarge

(1988-1994) Scott Rogers aka Raistlin | TAG, Renegade, MajorBBS |
"The Elite Boards of Elite Boards, aka the board that is so private you cant call it. That and the phone # changed alot because of call fowarding. Illegal stuff? Not really, just trying to be as sneaky as possible. Had lots of pirated games and XXX files on there you know:) FOr those 75-100 people that had accounts it was an interesting blend of folks who called in on one of our fowarding #'s we had installed at my CoSysOps houses. The # listed here was the real # which only a few people actually had. I enjoyed running the BBS, but had to take it down alot unfortunately because I was still in high school at the time and didn't have a computer of my own, like now. So in an effort to relive the old days I started the Tower again online tohs.synchro.net is the telnet code. Although Synchronet is not the same as the other softwares I used to run, it enables the user do still get the feel of the BBS as it used to be. There were many Tower of HIGH Sorcerys in the country. I remember once I got the major BBS running in the later years with a few phone lines and was able to link to other systems, so I had to be called 'The REAL' Tower of high sorcery. What a battle it was in those days. Looking over this list, remembering how many of these I was a member of was unbelievable. Wishing that these people would put up BBS's online would make it all worth while. Thanks for the memories!" - Scott Rogers

"I picked up the free AMIS software as a 10k download that very basically allowed incoming phone calls at 300bd. When I was finished with the software it was over 200k and had to be split and loaded in as modules. It had grown into probably the first (or at least one of the few) Bbs's that was a Multi-line Bbs with MultiChat and online games. All written by me. I never told anyone how I accomplished such a large program (for that time) to load so quickly, but at the time I created three 1 meg ramdisks on three Atari SEs and that's where everything resided. Later 3 Other Bbs's ran my system as well. Big Al at The Locker Room, Don at The Boiler Room, and Dale Sirkle at Rambo's HQ. I think Dale was only 12 at the time. Good for him. V.o.i.c.e. Bbs was the of the longest running Bbs's in Michigan. Running for 13 years from '83 until '97, and multiplexed through three computers. The good old days." - Jim Samples

"This BBS was run by my father (Ragnar) and myself (Mr.Robot). We started with a 110bps modem and only running part of the day. we quickly realized we needed to be up 24 hours and my father had a second line installed into the house (313-563-6177) to dedicate to the operation of the BBS. I was young, early teens in the beginning. My father did most of the software writing and I did a lot of the hardware building and site maintenance. We had a short run where 2 friends tried to run The Robot Factory West and The Robot Factory East. The phone numbers escape me as this was over 20 years ago. They did not last long as they realized they did not have the drive and desire to run the sites. There are many great memories with running the BBS and being part of the Pre-Internet." - Mr. Robot

"FYI, several years ago, m-net merged w/ another BBS listed here, called Arbornet. As a result of that merger, m-net is reachable to this day, at m-net.arbornet.org, or just arbornet.org. "Finally, a good history of on-line conferencing in the Ann Arbor area can be found at: http://www.unixpapa.com/conf/history.html It mentions m-net, arbornet, and a few other systems as well." - Mark J. Bobak
"I was shut down unexpectedly one day when I was called into the MIS Director's office- a "Tiger Team" hired to find system security vulnerabilities had discovered my modem hooked to a work number, and I was busted. Despite my explanations and block diagrams showing the system had no physical connection to our mainframe and network, they said I could either disconnect the modem or they would escort me to my car. I chose to continue working there and pulled the plug. "That was a fun time- when BBS sytems evoked an atmosphere while you were connected. Each was infused with the sysop's personality. And perhaps because they were text-based, the picture a user conjured up in their mind while connected was far more personal than today's graphic-intensive web experiences." - Rich Weinkauf
