"The Search For iNsanity. One of the few and longest lived 'scene' bbses of 502. Affiliated in some way or another with most every local artgroup that was started in the area during its lifespan as well as Mistigris from 1994-1995 and CIA for a short time in 1995. Member of New Jersey based EvilNET from 1993-1994 along with other local bbs Satan's Lair. The board was shut down and never reopened after the sysop moved out of the area code." - Jas Osborne

"This board started out as a part-time board called the Night Shift. It was renamed to the Derby City GT, then became Moe's Tavern, when it came online full-time in 1989. It was located near Lyndon, outside of Louisville. In 1993, I moved to Goshen and eventually changed the name (and number) to the one in the listing. It was still a local call from Louisville. The board was GT 010/022, and also carried AFSN & Intelec. In 1997, I moved to Frankfort, and the board came with me. It is celebrating its 20th year online this Spring (2008). See Listing for "Capitol City Online."" - Mike Powell

"Night Fall bbs was a modded (shrug i mean i didn't go all out with the hex thing, but it was nice) renegade bbs which i loved very much. For a period of time approximatly from 1994-1998 it was for the most part up and running. I'm not sure why dante's list doesn't have it , and this site didn't get it but it was there. I'd sometimes wake up and go to my PC and see 300+ local messages had been posted in a single day. I think the popularity grew because i tried to be as friendly and helpful as i could with all my users. I'd add things, and change the look constantly. I lived and breathed that bbs for a few of those years, but heck i was a young teen at the time who didn't? :) I really miss those days, and would encourage anyone who feels the same to support textfiles.com and there affiliates, and also check out the new bbsmates to meet up with all our old friends!" - Kurt's Spirit

"The Pirate's Chest was the first p/h/a/c BBS in the Owensboro area. It was a single line system ran on a 8088 xt 10mhz system. The BBS software mainly used was AfterShock, which was an Emulex clone. Additionally, it was a beta test site for T.A.G. BBS software. I ran this system when I was in high school." - Jason Hunt

Plus we had a live chat area.. The Black Diamond went offline for good in Febuary of 1998 due to cost of the phonelines involved.. when we shut the doors the Black Diamond was still very popular at any given time all 10 lines were in use." - Lonnie Robitzski

The Odyssey
(1993-1995) |
Steven Shaggy Quaack, Tony "Shaggy" Hildebrand | Renegade |
|
"The time the Odyssey was around the BBS scene was growing. I wanted a modded BBS that stood out among the rest and had plenty of things to do. The Odyssey had ScorchNET which was a popular message net and several games to play including 3 different version of LORD. The BBS ran off a 486 running OS/2 Warp 4 and was later switched over to a BBS software called Iniquity in 1995. I'd like to thank Shadowlord (7th Gate) and Kurt's Spirit (Night Fall BBS). The BBS wouldn't have been a success if it wasn't for the help these guys gave me and helped me get things setup." - Steven Shaggy Quaack

Great Big Dog
(1993-1994) |
Ray Dittmeier, Mike Neagle | Renegade |
|
"The whole thing began when I gave up on a home-based business. There I was, with a second phone line going to waste and an extra computer in the house, and Renegade was free... what the heck? We had quite a busy -- and strange -- message board section with some very dedicated "regulars." We even developed our own terminology; for example, logging in was called "petting the dog." Also had the best Trade Wars game in town. At least, that's what I was given to understand. I didn't play, myself, but the game was very active, and the players chipped in to pay the registration fee, telling me they were willing to because it was becoming the best TW game they knew of. "Started with a smallish hard drive on the computer. I put a few shareware programs in the file section but didn't set it up with an upload/download ratio. "Conventional wisdom," of course, was that no one would bother to upload files if you didn't require it. And I didn't want them to because the hard drive was so small. But they uploaded. And uploaded. And one day I came home and found the BBS wouldn't work because the hd had gotten packed full of uploaded files. I desperately scavenged around trying to find stuff to delete so as to buy time until I could get a bigger hard drive. Found a 40 meg (fairly big for those days, as you probably remember) for $170 and had a torturous time getting it in and working. I mean, geez, now you can buy a hard drive, take it home, plug it in, and it pretty much just works. But Mike and I must have played around for four or five hours to get this one going. "I finally closed The Dog down when the burden of paying for the extra phone line got to be too much." - Ray Dittmeier

Jeff Bruce (Phaze Vector) | |
|
"I am submitting this because he passed away some time ago and I think it belongs on the list in case one of his many friends goes on a nostalgia trip as I am. His real name was Jeff Bruce his handle was Phaze Vector. He ran an Amiga bbs from 87 to 93 called Eternal Vortex and switched to PC in 91 but kept the name and ran it until 93 when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 23. Wow, so damn long ago now. Long story short. We met a ton of cool people trading warez and he was the hub for a large group of close friends that all met due to him selling warez in the local bargan paper. People I still hang out with today. I thought perhaps someone that knew him or his BBS might get nostalgic and go hunting the web for info. I want to make sure they find something. It was a big BBS back in the day. He had multiple phone lines which wasn't cheap back then. HE felt all the free games he could play was worth the price. Dirty pirates!!" - Mark Whobrey

"The Falcon BBS treated local users to many (2 pages full of) popular door games including LORD, Planets, and Falcon's Eye...(mostly full registered versions). Custom ANSI graphic menus. The BBS had all kinds of users, but mostly Barren County and Glasgow High School students (I even met my future wife on there). I also wrote a couple of doors for this BBS in Pascal (a graffiti wall, and a Trick Or Treat game). My brother and I were the teenaged SysOps and ran the BBS on an IBM 486 25MHz...started out on a 2400 baud, went to 14.4 and then 33.6. BBS folded when my brother and I went to college out of town, but the internet would probably have ended it at about the same time anyway. Those were the days!" - Curtis Smith

"This BBS is still running, but the area code in Glasgow has changed to 270. It runs Wildcat! now. It was originally the "official" BBS of the Glasgow Commodore User's Group. I know for sure it was around in 1984, not sure when it started. When I used to log on as a kid, it ran on a Commodore 64. I know that Larry moved it to a C128 for a while and then to an Amiga. After Commodore went under, I lost contact." - John Retronerd

"The Hermits Cave was the first and only Windows based BBS system in the Owensboro area. It ran the Excalibur BBS software on a Win 95 machine. It had two lines, one 28.8 and one 14.4, both using USR Sporster modems. It featured message boards, chat, plugins (games), a multi CDROM rotating shareware file base, and user contests. The Hermits Cave was a GUI based BBS and users could choose between several visual "themes" from simple quick menus to highly animated graphical menus. At the time it was the busiest BBS in the area with the largest user base." - Charlie Payton

"Charles Van Tuyl was running the bbs when I got to Fort Knox from Panama in 1994. It was an "Amiga Only" bbs for the Fort Knox area Amiga Users Group (Gold City Users Group). I quickly became co-sysop, and in 1995 when Charles when to Europe, I took over and installed the BBS on my Amiga 2000 Tower (heavily hacked - hardware and software). The bbs was up, night and day, without failure, from that time until I was sent to Korea in March of 1998. I have the bbs archived on a harddrive somewhere here. I did not set it up again when I returned in 1999 due to marriage problems. The key things I would like you to know is that the Amiga was an amazing computer, it ran, night and day, without rebooting, for years! (That Amiga still works) I had callers from all over the planet, paying big telephone bills, just to log in! What an amazing time!" - Patrick Greene

"Charles wrote a shareware program called the Online Scrabble Player's Dictionary, and he ran his board as a gathering place for scrabble players and other miscreants. The OSPD was just a database containing the "legal" words allowed in Scrabble. He typed all of these words in manually into RBase, which must have taken months. He and his wife raised Pomeranians, and Prince Pikinu was the Top Dog of the lot, so he named his BBS after that Prince. He had callers from all over the world, who dialled in to takepart in his online scrabble tournaments. Good times ..." - RVhead

"We ran QBBS for a time from1986 to 1987 when we switched temporarily to TBBS. I was in high school and could not make enough money to continue to run TBBS so I sold the TBBS modules to Sal Lizard who ran the Mailbox BBS in Charleston South Carolina to increase his line count as TBBS just released their multi-line version. We were growing and switched from TBBS to RemoteAccess. This was pre-Jam message base and we were very popular. We ran two lines and was growing even then. The main # rolled over to the second number and our phones were completely paid for by user donations. We were a message base BBS primarily and we also had a few files and our main game door was the Scrabble door… we had some very good scrabble players. We switched from Remoteaccess to PCBoard when we outgrew the capabilities of the Hudson Message base. There were kludgy utilities that allowed us to do internet e-mail and fidonet. We ran PCBoard for a very short time as we operated as node 1:11/60 in Fido region 11. We were the ONLY fido node in town for a long time and transitioned to wildcat 3.0 for even better fido support when others wanted to join fidonet. Wildcat 3.0 had a better tosser than Fidonet and we ran wildcat for the rest of our time until about 2009. We had the e-mail domain of livewire.org from 1988 through 1992 when somehow someone bought it out from under us and used it for their personal webcam for unreal tournaments… unfortunately that address is not used anymore and we can’t get it back. Domains were NOT cheap back then it cost $75 a year and as a high school student cutting grass I did not get my payment in quick enough to renew it. I was running 4 lines by then. I then was gifted tbolt.com by a friend who was a pilot we ran the BBS uing that for e-mail and news for some time. Until about 1997 when the DSL modems came out. We were one of the first BBS’s on the net who opened up more nodes via telnet and our dial up lines were very popular as we allowed people to surf and FTP over our connection for a small donation each month. At this time we were on Wildcat 5 – Winserver. When We moved our BBS To telnet ONLY we switched our domain to the derbycity.us and went by the name online as Derby City LiveWire. I had a few people who requested a dial up so I returned the BBS online as a dial up using one of the early VOIP services." - Allen Prunty

"LCC began on a 300 baud modem and later moved to 1200 baud. It was run on a Commodore 64 and used two Commodore CBM 5-1/4 inch dual drives - a 4040 and 8250 for storage. I wrote the software in Commodore BASIC and compiled it to machine language. It was part-time in the evenings and later went full-time to a dedicated line: 502 933-5479. Around 1986 or 1987 it moved to an Amiga 1000 system and the name was changed to Louisville's Amiga Connection." - Bob Myers

Shortly after the BBS was decommissioned." - Michael Priddy
