Developed early .QWK packed mail relaying (poor man's FIDOnet :) to toss mail between Las Vegas and Santa Clara. I eventually ended up on WildNet using Tomcat for Wildcat to automate the mail transfer. Was all good until TCP/IP killed the scene for all but the museum curator folks." - Allen Woollley | |||

| "I was 15 when I started this BBS on an Apple //e. It had a pair of 128k Floppy drives (5.25") and I used a software tweak to get another 64k out of the 80-column card to use as a ramdisk. The modem was a 300 baud Zoom modem. The Apple Net software was purchased through mail order and I was always making modifications to the Basic code. We had a handful of regular callers and even a get-together (gtg). It was quite a trip to meet the faces behind the names. We were so no-budget that I had to beg my older sister to allow me to use her phone line for people to call in. Because of this, she became "co-sysop"." - Willis Wong | |||

Robert Field, Karen Marquardt, Joyce DeLeonardo, Jean Swenk | DLX |
| "This BBS system was in operation from 1986 to 1995, until PLink and AOL basically destroyed the market. It was essentially a dating bbs, and we held social parties on a monthly basis. More than 15,000 people passed through this system and more than 25 couples ended up marrying as a result of their meeting on this system, including myself (Bob Field and my wife Joyce (Deleonardo). The system was shut down in 1995. The Dating Tree had outlier forwarder systems that covered the entire Greater SF Bay area, from Santa Rosa on the north, to Morgan Hill on the south, to Pacifica on the West and Livermore on the East. It was the subject of at least one Master's Thesis and many articles and even one major radio station did a face-to-face interview with the Sysops, because it was the largest and most active in the area at that time. Later, other bbs system sprang up and became larger." - Robert Field | |||

Mark Pickerill, Mark D. Pickerill, Robert Cabral | Spitfire |
|
"Ran on a Pro-Log STD bus industrial computer system. Catered to computer programmers of most microcomputers. As the welcome screen read "No games, no gee-whiz utilities". Although it was a MS-DOS based system, the operating philosophy was similar to the RCPM systems, very tech oriented. Was a member of PRACSA (Public Remote Access Computer Standards Association) for the short number of years that orginization existed (Started by Irv Hoff and others). The word "standards" was changed to "sysop's" in the last year or so of the orginization's history. I still have the "HH.COM" that was included in MS-DOS and CP/M-80 archives that, when run, advertised the BBS. It was (is) the same physical binary file, it runs under both MS-DOS and CP/M without modification! It started as a 1200 baud system, then became a 2400 baud system, and was a 14.4K baud system before the end. Unlike many other systems, Hacker Heaven did not dis-allow 300 baud call-ins - 300 bauders were welcome! It was shut down when the sysop changed employers as it was sponsered by the now defunct Pro-Log corporation." - Mark D. Pickerill "The BBS continued to serve the community under the Sysop - Robert Cabral. The BBS continued to operate until 2001. Motorola Inc. aquired Pro-Log Corp. and continued to support this system, with internet access." - Robert Cabral | |||

Hollister used to be in the 408 Area code before switching to 831. Building and running that bulletin board was A wonderful experience. I learned a lot about computers and made a lot of friends. What outrageous phone bills we had back then! I am not now, nor was I then able to write code but I can remember many hours spent sweating over command line programs. Remember setting up "doors" for online games, or setting up new transfer protocols like zmodem, jmodem, ymodem, etc? I don't know if most people realize what a labor of love it was to run a bbs. We spent many hours building and maintaining them and most of us never asked for a dime in contributions. Oh well, I'm rambling. Later." - Philip Ruiz | |||

| "It was in a professors house at Monterey Naval Postgraduate School, and he didn't like us to come over and run the system, so we did it all via "remote". Even back when we switched from *.ARC compression to *.ZIP compressions (remember those compression wars?) we had to use the conversion utility over the phone lines remotely via command line. Very much a labor of love. All back when a word processor program would fit on a 1.2MB 5-1/4" floppy. Remember ZenWord? And all those ASCII animation screens? Ah... the good old days." - Jim Plosay | |||

| "I started the mushrooom in 1981 with an acoustic modem- ppl had to call the #, let it ring once and call back and if i anyone was home, we'd connect them. After a while, we connected the telephones ringing-hammer, which was supposed to hit the bell to ring, to a switch which would automatically send command thru the joystick port (Serial) and trigger the AT command to my Hayes modem to pick-up the phone and connect.. A Man named Jeff Bell helped me. This was 1st ran on a 16k Atari 400 until we upgraded to a 48k Atari 800." - Jesse | |||

"This BBS was in San Jose at Morrill Middle School. The Chalkboard started out as a straight GBBS but later it became modified to link with FrEdMail, a store and forward Fido-like system for students and teachers developed by Fred Rogers of Bonita, California. In 1990 The Chalkboard initated a project called Notes In A Bottle which was a call for student penpals over Usenet. Responses came from as far away as Italy, Japan and The Soviet Union. The Chalkboard was one of the first three school BBS systems in Northern California. It was on the cutting edge of telecommunication education during the late 80's and early 90's." - Robert Wright FrEdMail System | |||

| "Originally I and a High School friend wrote it in TurboPascal 3.0. It ran on an IBM XT with a 20MB hard drive and 512KB of memory. Its 25 message boards were organized under five categories, and each message board had a co-sysop, which could be assigned by me. Each co-sysop had complete sysop-like control over the contents of their sub-board, which greatly reduced the administrative load on me. In 1990 it was upgraded to a PC-AT 12MHz 286 system with 4MB of RAM and an 80MB hard drive so I could upgrade the message boards to a 500-message capacity apiece. It was also upgraded to TurboPascal 6 at this time. It had a fun and innovative wander-in-the-wilderness game, called Dangerous Realm, which was based loosly on Dungeons and Dragons." - TTK Ciar | |||
