"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

"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

(1989) Charles Taylor | Wildcat, Wildcat! |
"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

"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
