	"This BBS was operated by the local PC Users Group in Conway. We were "The Best Users Group Between Pickles Gap & Toadsuck". It was originally set up by Jim Smith running RBBS, but after a short time he switched to Phoenix. They added FrontDoor and joined the FidoNet (1:399/4). Gerald Hogue took over operation of the BBS and after a hardware crash he brought the board back up running Remote Access. Later Tim Stone took over the BBS and the club expanded its offerings upgrading it to over 100 megabytes of storage and a Zoom 14.4 modem. Eventually we switched ot OS/2 and ran 2 computers peer-to-peer and added an additional line. We added a Planet Connect satellite receiver and provided Fidonet for most of the other BBSs in town. It was a fun time! After a few years I got too busy to devote time to the board so I passed it on to Zach Sidebottom who continued to run the board until the UG dissolved around 1995." - Tim Stone
501-329-9419 Conway, AR	Thunder BBS (1989-1995)	Jerry Fulmer	Phoenix
	"The single line BBS was run on a 286 with an 80 mb hard drive. Jerry added a 9600 baud modem that he got though the U.S. Robotics Sysop Program. The board had an active message base including Echomail along with a good size file area (for the time). He was a founding member of FidoNet 399 and active in the local computer users group. He was always ready to help other sysops with their boards or mail systems. Jerry passed away in 2010." - Tim Stone

	"Nice Project! I ran the BBS on a 10 Mhz Epson XT Clone. I had a 1 Meg RAM drive with all the menus, graphics etc. It made the thing run a lot faster. People used to tell me I had the fastest system in town. I had to laugh since it never ran on anything faster than an XT and at the time every other system in town was at least a 386. The Gaslight BBS was up from 1987 to 1992. The name came from the Movie Gaslight and also from the term "to Gaslight" someone. I got a love of practical jokes from my step grandfather who used to play them on me when I was a kid. It was the first QuickBBS system in NW Arkansas. It went to The Blue and Gray BBS when I became a Civil War Reenactor in 1992. I pulled the plug in 1995 when I got married and couldn't afford the extra time and money for the board anymore." - Bob Underdown List of BBS List Keepers: Arkansas Area 501/Bob Underdown ListKeeper: Arkansas Area 501

501-785-2517 Fort Smith, AR	Jackalope Junction, PseudoCode (1988-1998)	Steve Prado	GBBS (Apple II), PCBoard (PC)
	"I was the Sysop of these BBS's. Was just cruising and found this list. I started BBS'ing around 1987 when I got my Apple IIe. Called a couple of boards in town for awhile and got the fever. Started PseudoCode with a 1 mhz IIe and 4 floppy drives. (two 5 1/4, two 3 1/2). I started getting calls and bought a $800 60 meg hard drive for the system. I ran that board till about 93 or 94. When I shut it down I had two IIgs's and 180 megs of space. I then got the fever for a PCBoard which a friend was using. Loved those online games. I started Jackalope Junction and ran it till 1998. At the end I was running 2 nodes, had several gigs of space and was the Fidonet NC/NEC for the area. Also ran a Planet Connect dish for the Fidonet echos. Not bad for a small town like this." - Steve Prado
