have boards listed after I shutdown in '96, | but I consider my BBS, Last Outpost the last of the | multi-node, full service BBS's in our area. I had | games/chat rooms/file libraries; it was a Searchlight BBS | so it even had a GUI for the wimps (Window, Icon, Mouse, | People). :) In 1993 I was running 3 lines with about 40 | to 60 logins per day, with a user base of over 300, not | bad for a rural community in Southern Illinois. I had a | three county area that could make a local call to Last | Outpost. Those were great days, the sysops in the area | not only ran their systems but I remember we all would | play games for a couple of hours a day on each others | boards. Kings Castle BBS in Centralia and The Hide Out | BBS in Salem played prominate roles for the online | community before the Internet shut us all down. I have | Last Outpost BBS intact on a harddrive on my bookshelf. | Always thought that since it's I-net capable that I would | put it up on the Internet someday, but it looks like that | ain't gonna happen.

"It's nice what you've done here. | People need to know about BBS's and their contribution to | the online world. Most people have never heard of a BBS. | Explaining what a BBS was or did, is... interesting. They | marvel at the idea that there were pre-internet local | online services that set precedents for what happens | everyday on the WEB. Enough of my ramblings.
