"RAMS was a 4-line chat system run on MajorBBS. John Pritchard shut it down, I would assume, 1988. The computer in his basement simply stopped working. He was completely anonymous at that time, he never logged in, he just ran this thing in his basement for some reason. We were all deviated, because this is how we (I was a kid at the time) kept in touch. Many of us didn’t even know each others real names. I was running a crappy little pirate BBS at the time, but kind of bored with it.. I asked around and someone knew John, and I got his phone number. I called him one day and asked if I could run the system for him. He was an older guy, retirement age, he had worked at IBM (Rochester MN). But my idea was, he would own the software, I would own the computer and pay for the phone lines, and I would run it. He first just dismissed me, he didn’t know who I was. But some time later (I don’t remember, a week or two maybe), he called me back. Asked me to come over to his place, and met me.. he agreed to let me do it. I remember him having a huge smile and said, “you’re going to have the best BBS in town!” He had already paid for the latest release or Major BBS, and handed it to me along with a box of 4 2400 baud modems. It was huge – The MajorBBS software at the time came with 3 ring binders for each “feature”.. like the BBS, and another for a game pack, another to add more “lines” to it, etc." - Tyler K.

Cthulhu (Derek J. Hunt)OBV/2
"I ran several different softrware packages, including JetBBS (which I ran on the Dunwich Horror BBS in Seattle), OBV/2, PC Board, and Finally Wildcat. This was the home BBS for AoD - http://www.textfiles.com/bbs/ADS/aod2.txt . We were constantly fighting with the other BBS operators (507), it was a marvelous time indeed. I still need to find a bunch of the old text files and BBS lists. This was the only textfile board in 507 which made it much more interesting, we were psuedo-invite and we would post the number on other boards, at Software Etc (where Rob, another bbs operator was the sysop), Barnes and Noble." - Derek J.
