The BBS also had a | couple of messaging feeds including FidoNet. It ran on | 486 in a big ass, heavy, rackmount case that sat on the | floor. Most remembered by me about the system is the loud | ass fan and the yellow monochrome monitor that started | burning in the waiting for call screen and console status | bar. I also had one tournament that I don't think I ever | got the winner of the game his Lasertag voucher that he | had won. The board closed and I think I just kinda forgot | about it. --- It was fun while it lasted." - Nathan Kull --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-331-5512 | RaP BBS | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1994) SYSOP | Robert Turner --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-331-5831 | YEBB, YEBB/Youth Education BBS, YEE BBS, YEEB BBS, | YEEB,christian | Sioux Falls, SD (1992-1996) SYSOP | Ray Christensen SOFTWARE | RBBS COMMENTS | "I used to be a user on YEBB way back in the day, and it | was definitely *not* a Christian board. Also, while it | was indeed run by Ray Christensen, it didn't run RBBS if | I remember correctly. My memory is that it originally ran | PCBoard, and at some point he switched to TSX-BBS. I'm | not sure which should be listed - the PCBoard days were | probably YEBB's heyday as it was free then, and thus had | a lot of users, but that was a short period compared to | the later, longer TSX-BBS era where it cost money, but | offered a lot more functionality (including, eventually, | Internet access). In addition, YEBB has been around later | than 1996. I know we were using it at least in December | 1997, and I think we stopped somewhere in 1998 - by this | time, YEBB had primarily become an ISP, although the BBS | functionality still existed (although it was no longer | well-used). A Google search for yebb.com (this was YEBB's | domain name) turns up a number of articles, message board | posts, etc. from YEBB users in 1999. The search even | turns up one message board post claiming to come from a | yebb.com address in 2002, but I do not know if this is | accurate (the user may have just forgot to update his/her | e-mail address on the message board). However, 2002 *was* | the year that Ray retired as the SD Secretary of | Education | (http://www.augie.edu/news/pressrel/general/2005/sep/gen2_25.htm) | so perhaps that was the year that he closed down YEBB - | I'm not sure as we had all moved on well before that | time. For more specific information, you could probably | still call Ray Christensen - he seems to still be | operating in Sioux Falls, and would probably be in | Switchboard. It would probably bring back old memories | for him of the times when I used to relentlessly harass | him via the "Contact the SysOp" feature, as well as when | other users used to complain of the various antics I | pulled, such as sending messages to people with | "^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G" in the subject header, | causing the receiving computer to start beeping wildly, | even when the victim went into the Mail interface to | delete the messages, and forwarding error messages sent | by the TSX-BBS system and various daemons to people, | while changing their texts to spin a little story about | the BBS's various systems conspiring together to | overthrow the humans and take over the world. It's | really a wonder that I never got kicked off that board." | - Anonymous YEBB User --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-332-1699 | The Superior BBS | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1994) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-332-3191 | Dakotas' Net, Multi-Verse | Sioux Falls, SD (1991-1997) SYSOP | Bill Bartell --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-335-7288 | Dakotas' Net, Prairie Network, PrairieNet BBS | Sioux Falls, SD (1991-1995) SYSOP | Layth Grangaard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-335-8930 | Multi-Verse | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1993-1995) SYSOP | Bill Bartell --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-336-3578 | Dakota Info//et, Dakota InfoNet, Dakota Infonet Opus, | Dakota Information Network, DakotaInfoNet | , Dakotas' Net, DkotaInfonet, To Be | Deleted See Net 288 | Sioux Falls, SD (1987-1996) SYSOP | Rory Binkerd, Rory Binkerd SOFTWARE | Opus --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-336-3935 | HBBS The Host | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1984) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-338-8333 | YEEB, education, Youth Education EBBS | Sioux Falls, SD (1992-1995) SYSOP | Ray Christensen --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-338-9390 | Wolves Den BBS | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1994-1995) SYSOP | Doug Peters --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-339-9277 | The Red Satori | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1995-1997) SYSOP | Bob Wratz --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-339-9804 | The Guild BBS | SIOUX FALLS, SD (1995) SYSOP | Rod Schnell --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-0037 | Black Hills BBS [ASV] | RAPID CITY, SD (1993) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-0098 | PC Worlds BBS | RAPID CITY, SD (1991-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-3827 | The Black Hills Zendo | RAPID CITY, SD (1991-1992) SYSOP | Rob Mican --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-4552 | Dakota BBS | RAPID CITY, SD (1991-1993) SYSOP | Anne Fallis --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-4955 | Tess's | RAPID CITY, SD (1996) SYSOP | Dan Ellis --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-341-5062 | PC Worlds | RAPID CITY, SD (1992-1995) SYSOP | Burton Landman --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-342-2583 | The Nuclear Assault BBS | RAPID CITY, SD (1994-1995) SYSOP | Nik Kautz --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-342-4326 | Temple of Apsahi | RAPID CITY, SD (1992-1993) SYSOP | Darel Harmening --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-342-7335 | The Other Side, Western Dakota Net | Rapid City, SD (1996-2002) SYSOP | Jason Reynolds --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-343-0755 | Silver Bullet's Lounge, The Panic Button, Western Dakota | Net | RAPID CITY, SD (1991-1995) SYSOP | Bryan Hofmann --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-343-1354 | The Temple of Apshai | RAPID CITY, SD (1995) SYSOP | Darel Harmening --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-348-2423 | Coffee House, Western Dakota Net | RAPID CITY, SD (1996-2000) SYSOP | Kevin Simmons --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-348-4113 | The Time Portal, Western Dakota Net | Rapid City, SD (1991-1995) SYSOP | Steve Fuqua, Steven Fuqua --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 605-348-5522 | Phantom BBS | Rapid City, SD (1995-2003) SYSOP | Jim Williams COMMENTS | "The BBS was run on a variety of software during its | existence eventually setting on Wildcat which it ran for | the majority of its life.
