Scott Pasternak (The Tank) & Mike Batt (The Bounty Hunter)SearchLight (#0816)
"It was a pleasure running this BBS with Mike... Indeed, there were friendships formed among the users that are still recollected to this day. I would like to personally thank Mike Batt (CoSysOp), Eric Doubler (Klousher), Chris Zunic (Swank), Mike Richner (SysOp of Mystic Mountain BBS), Steve Hiner, Rob Coulter (The Bard), Doug Norenberg, Ed Stange (SysOp of Firehouse BBS), Dan Greathouse (SysOp of City Limits BBS), Dave Drzewiecki, Andrew Metzler (Nightcrawler) and Kirk Lesiacsek (Notcher). These were the users that mattered most, made the BBS a success, and actually formed the individual I have become. While those days of copy sessions, phreaking, and warez seem distant, all of these individuals still remain very real and important to me. I wish I could do a better job at keeping in touch with all of them." - Scott Pasternak

Tentacle Nation BBS
(1995-2000)
Purple Tentacle (J.R. Raith)Searchlight 4.5b
"I dearly miss my board. I ran Tentacle Nation and it was never very popular. I had a 1-line SL registration and I still have the harddrive with all of the information for the system on it. I had lots of games... I was a LoRD addict, heh. It's a shame that I eventually had to get rid of that computer. I still have my SearchLight disks and manual. I, one day, intend on setting up a telnet BBS, but who knows if I ever will. I've got the 486 to do it, though...

"Anyone searching for me (for whatever reason) can e-mail Jafit@Hotmail.com." - J.R. Raith"

The BossC-Net
"Started off as an underground wares site. Was changed a couple years later to a pure message board system, with no online games to play or software for people to download. It started off running on a Commodore 64. It ran its last two years on a Commodore Amiga, with a 40 megabyte hard drive. It was the first Commodore BBS that strayed away from piracy and pushed forum activity." - The Boss

R. Kingsboro
Wildcat 1993-1994, Searchlight (RIP 2.0) 1994-1996. As far as I know, and as far as I was concerned, I had the best GUI I had ever seen, including page transition animations, pop-up windows, and scripted everything. It's a sad shame that the RIPscrip protocol never took off with more systems, and it wasn't long after RIP 2.0 was released that both dial-up and telnet BBS'ing died off. Things may have been different if BBSes had used RIP to keep up with HTML's user-friendly functionality..." - R. Kingsboro
