"That was mine! You've got an entry for it that's incomplete. It actually had six phone numbers, any three of which could be used for the BBS at once. (These were Transy's original/old dialup lines for their IBM mainframe.) I started it as an exercise in learning Fortran IV, and it kind of got out of hand. Somewhere, I still have the source code! It was all in FORTRAN IV, and ran under MUSIC/IUP and later MUSIC/SP. We did three releases to the MUSIC Users Group - Release 1 was v4.0, Release 2 was... I forget, v7.2f or something? Release 3 was v14.mutter. We had extensive messaging systems, private mail, group-limited message boards (via ACLs), RPG areas, and what have shortly thereafter been called a hypertext section as well, with some scripting. We also had file transfer, but it was very, very lame - it was overwhelmingly a social BBS. Typical userload throughout the evenings was 10 - three on the dialup lines, seven or so students logged on via at-school terminals. Some other people at Transy started work on a parody BBS system called 'SNOT (get it? ar ar ar ar ar ar) but it never got very far. (note that you have my first name spelled wrong in your current listing. BTW, my nickname is Dara. ^_^ )"

, WILDCAT! |
"Hi, my name is Jeff Kidwell and I ran the Jolly Roger BBS from 1989 to approx 1996. I also wrote many "Door" games used on my BBS and others. I very much enjoyed my time as a "Sysop" and I acutally still have both systems that the Jolly Roger operated on. I had 3 "Nodes" with a hunt pattern that operated from 606-261-2971. I opened my computer store in October of 1993, and offered the BBS to my customers. After a few years, interest in BBS's waned and we decided to retire the "Roger". Star Computers is still in business and going strong! www.starcomputersinc.com Many of my customers that were kids when my BBS was up still remember the cool ANSI pirate flag that scrolled across the screen when you logged on... :) (It took me forever to create that!)" - Jeff Kidwell

Covington, KY The Night Owl Network |
(1983-1992) Marvin & Norman Huff | RyBBS, Wildcat!, TAG |
"The Night Owl Network started off a very humble board in the midst of many great ones in this area. We first started the BBS using "RyBBS" which was an interesting piece of software however due to the authors schedule he didn't have much time to work on upgrades to the software so we decided to run Wildcat! for a while. This worked for a little while but we soon grew tired of looking like every other Wildcat! board in the area. So I discovered the TAG BBS software and that's what we stayed with until the end. We were quite popular during the late 80's and at one time held a place on the area's favorite BBS list for quite a while. After my brother Marvin moved away from home, he left the board to me. Then I and my friend Todd May took over the reigns. This was rather short lived as finances did not allow much for an extra phone line. And so, sometime in early 1992 The Night Owl Network faded into darkness. Now, It's almost 20 years later, my brother Marvin has unfortunately passed on, and I still miss those days of repeat dialing my favorite boards at 12am to get on to play my online games. And to all of our users who may remember calling our board and having as much fun as we did, Thank You. I miss hearing from all of you." - Norman Huff
