Hunter's Planet, Hunters Planet
(1997-1998)
Chris Young
"Hunter's Planet (704-209-3158) was my board which I ran on a single line using the KBBS system under the screen name "Predator". (I loved those comics and movies more than was reasonable.) I've long since gone on to military service, undergraduate college, law school, and active practice, but getting that thing up and running remains one of my most memorable accomplishments. Of course this wasn't because of the great difficulty or insurmountable odds, but just because it was something tangible that I was so absolutely enamored with at the time. I've never been so completely immersed in a project before or since, and doing that work at that time is a point in life that I'll always remember with fondness." - Christopher Young

"Would love to see a little history represented for the listing. Magic Castle 5 featured the launch of a business that was little more than a wild idea in 1994, Walling Data Systems. Our URL, http://www.wallingdatasystems.com and www.avg-antivirus.net. We're a rapidly growing IT and software distribution business today, 12 years later. Would be pleased to see that and my email address luke@wallingdatasystems.com listed (spam-bots are no concern) along with those URLS for anyone that might be coming across this site online and wanting to make contact with people they associated with in the BBS days. Thanks!" - Luke Walling

Steven Houser, David FortenberryWWIV, VBBS
"I was surfing through the web earlier, feeling a little nostalgic when I ran across your website with information and lists on Bulletin Board Systems. Much to my surprise, I found Inferno BBS. I was like, "Hey that was our board!" I had tinkered with bulletin boards as early as 1993. With the help of some local sysops of boards across my small hometown of Stanley, I was pointed in the right direction on how I needed to go about setting up a board. With a little luck and long hours of determination, I was able to get a board up and online... which was the Alternative BBS using WWIV. After listing my board on some local BBS systems, I managed to connect with Mr. Steven Houser. He and I shared a common interest in computers and became pretty good friends. We changed the name to Inferno BBS in 1994 and ran it pretty solid through 1995. Steven did all of the technical stuff, and I did the day-to-day running of the board. We ran the board off of a computer in my bedroom at my parent's house, which was connected to the 2nd phone line. By 1996 Steven and I had lost contact, and we went our separate ways. After he left, I had moved to the Internet using a service called Netcom. Soon after that I moved to AOL Dial-up and I guess the rest is just history! I guess you could say that now our Inferno BBS belongs to the ages of the history of computing." - David Fortenberry

"I just happened to search my name (Blaise Anderson) using MSN.COM's search engine and ran across your area code 704 list. To my delight I found my name next to my old BBS (Phil Becker's TBBS software (FIDONET)), T-I-E (The Information Exchange). I ran it on a Tandy 1000 with a 10MB HD, 24/7, on a dedicated phone line. I still talk about the "old days" every now and then. My first (dumb)modem was 300 baud ($300 appox), my second modem was a (smart)Hayes 1200 baud I got from a sysop promo deal($1000 retail)for about $400! Bill Schriber (search your area code 704 list)was my first BBS I connected to sucessfully and motivoted me to start my own. He past away at an early age of 34 in 1990 and so did his and my BBS that same year. This one's for you Bill! I'm 49 and repair PC's for over 20 years in Tennessee. Thanks for the memories sir... You done good!" - Blaise Anderson

Tom Curtis
"The Big Byte BBS (704-279-2295) was the grand daddy BBS in our locale (the Salisbury, NC and surrounding area). It was incredibly advanced, sporting *TWO* nodes. You could communicate with another person in real time. It was mind blowing in 1990. I remember calling Tom as a squeaky 12 year old to request access to the "private" areas of the board (which was just a permission-based forum and a file upload area). His wife Dottie initially answered, then turned me over to Tom. It wasn't a big deal, but when he flagged my account with access I felt like I had been appointed CEO of Apple. A few years later, Tom gave me a lot of help in setting up my own BBS (Hunter's Planet), which I ran for several years before internet access became readily available enough to wipe us all out." - Christopher Young

Computerman's Lair, SBC Development, SBC-Development
(1994-1998)
Matt DavisWildcat, AdeptXBBS
"Computerman's Lare [sic] was run for a few years before 1994 by another Sysop, but I forget his name. He was moving out of town, so I bought Wildcat 3.9 SL, some manuals, and equipment from him and re-opened the BBS as Computerman's Lair a few days later. About a month after that we were online at Fidonet as 1:3666/107.0 and we participated pretty heavily in the OS-DEBATE echo since we were an OS/2 system.

In 1995 or 1996 we switched from DOC-based Wildcat to AdeptXBBS, which was an OS/2-based package written by Steve Tower, Gordon Zeglinski, and John Morris. Mark Kimes licensed the XBBS code to those guys (AdeptSoft, based in Boca Raton, FL), but eventually forced the company to close since they weren't paying their royalty fees. Oops.

Anyway, just before we switched to AdeptXBBS, I changed the name to SBC Development since the BBS was supporting my fledgling software business.

SBCdev interacted most heavily with Magic Castle 5 (Luke Walling - 704-241-9234 - Hickory, NC - Renegade software), Cer'rin (Shaun Sides), and Synergistics (Tim Davis)" - Matt Davis

"I ran RBBS and RBBSMail on the Legal Eagle BBS which was part of RBBSNet. It had two lines, with 9600 baud US Robotic HST modems. The board ran as two DOS instances on a 386 running OS/2. The Legal Eagle BBS catered to lawyers in Mecklenburg county, and was made an official method of obtaining court calendars. The attorneys liked to be able to search the WordPerfect files for their names. Like many SysOps in the area, I was a member of the Metrolina Sysops Association. The MSA shared information about abusive users, and if a user was banned on one board, we banned them from all. The group led to some lifelong friends -- I met Joe Venturelli of XLR8ed for the first time as a member of the group." - Alan Kaplan

"The Mounties BBS started its life in late 1990 or early 1991 as a local only BBS. I was new to Charlotte and did not have a life outside of work and it just seemed the thing to do. The board started on a Columbia 8088 and later moved to a 80286, and was run on Telegard under OS/2. Although it was a small board, it had a lively group of users and some of us are still in touch to this day. For the last year or year and a half of its 5 to 6 year life span, I started running a second BBS called "No Name City" that was run on WWIV. That BBS could only be reached through a door on The Mounties BBS. During this same period (maybe a little longer) The Mounties BBS was on FIDONet and No Name City was on WWIVNet if I remember correctly. Thank you for putting up this list. Brings back many memories and I see the names of a number of people I have lost touch with." - Ertic Hasson

Scot RoseSearchlight
"Castle Ravenwood BBS started its life as Crossroads BBS in August of 1993 because Maiden was a local call for most of the BBS Users in Lincoln and Catawba counties of NC in a time when it was long distance to call the other counties. We provided a free middle ground ( A Crossroads ) where BBSers from both counties could mingle. One night in a drunken haze Jester and Myself decided to change the name and the structure.. the rest was history. As the Internet gained popularity, users drifted away and the castle closed its doors in Febuary of 1997 much to my sorrow. Recently (2003) Castle Ravenwood reopend its doors as a Message base website and I invited back as many of teh old users as I still was in contact with and as of this point about 40 lunatic souls are again in the Castle. However long this lasts, who knows... But I missed the commaradrie of those days and it seems so did a few of those persons I found again... If you are ever interested drop by... www.ravenwood.com/castleravenwood" - Scot Rose

Andy LittleWWIV
"I started this on an IBM PS/2 Model 30 (x286) running a 1200 baud modem and a 20MB hard disk. I registered the WWIV software for $50 I think, and started doing mods -- my first foray into C at 11 years old. I can't really remember what I hosted on the BBS, I think it was mostly games and ASCII graphics and a few message boards. Upgraded to Hayes 2400 baud modem after a year. Good times!" - Andy Little

The HIDEOUT
(1992-1996)
Kevin TeagueSearchlight
"I was searching yahoo looking for my name and I found your list. Thought I'd share information regarding how The HIDEOUT came to be. I used Compuserve on a 300 baud modem in 1988 and was hooked. No longer was one limited to the software choices and experiences on the local computer store shelf! The whole world was available online! When I purchased my first 2400 baud modem, I kept the phone line tied up calling the local BBS's almost everyday. I saw the BBS software as a way to access my personal files from home with some security to my personal system, so I downloaded the quickest package available from PC-Link (later America Online), which happened to be Searchlight. Since I had my computer online all the time for my convenience, why not open it up to others? The system started on my personal machine, and finally ended up running on a 386 server, networked to 2 286 machines via a 10baseT network using Lantastic software. Each 286 had it's own 14.4 modem, and was supported by 2 40MB hard drives and 2 CD rom drives. A second line was added for the use of persons who supported the system with a one time $10 donation. Otherwise the system was completely FREE! We specialized in GIF images, but had discussions, private mail, and online games. We were the 2nd multi-line system in Western North Carolina and the first in the Hickory area. I transferred the system in late 1995 to another individual as the time demands were too great to keep the system running properly. Mail was going unanswered, etc. I still do the custom image work that was offered then. Samples can be seen at www.teaguetown.com if interested. The world of communications has come a long way! From 300 baud to the DSL and cable modems of today. What's next?!" - Kevin Teague

Personal Touch, The Personal Touch
(1989-1993)
Paul Dedrick, Paul Spike DedrickTelegard/WildCat!
"The Personal Touch BBS was originally set up as a single line in early 1989 using the Telegard BBS software. With the help of a BBS member's MAC {YUK!} I was able to parse out the data of the user list to allow the site to evolve to WildCat! in 1991. Telegard had no export means, and WildCat! needed a certain format, which HyperCard could create.

"With WildCat!, the system was also expanded to 3 lines (3 USR SysOp program 19,200 Courier Dual Standard modems) and a local SysOp login window. It ran on a 286, and later 386SX25 under DOS 6.22 and DesqView for the virtual 'DOS window' nodes. I operated the BBS as a hobby and means of relaxation after my weeks on the road as a field engineer. Eventually I was laid off by my company in January of 1992 and experienced a year of continued unemployment. The only offers I had at the end of 1992 were one from a little company called Microsoft locally in Charlotte, and a company in the Caribbean who shall go un-named. Let's see, Microsoft Windows 95 development team - $17,500 and US taxes, or ?????? - $46,750 and NO TAXES!?!? Well, what would YOU have done?

"I moved to the Caribbean in Feb. 1993, which is when I transferred the BBS software and data backups to John Pierce. He ran the board supposedly until 1997, or thereabouts. I have lost touch with him in the intervening years. I still have the 386SX25 system that ran the personal touch and all the data thereon from the last day of operation. I miss those days, meeting weekly at The Mill on Woodlawn Road and seeing all the users and SysOps and enjoying the amateur talent show.

"I am still in contact with Eric Hasson (Snidely Whiplash of The Mounties BBS) and many of the former users of The Personal Touch BBS. Did I say I miss those days? Oh yeah, last paragraph! Well, I do miss them, and the comeraderie we shared in that fledgling technological period. I just emerged from under the rubble of Hurricane IVAN and have been doing genealogical research. The search truned up my name and I just had to take a look. Thanks for the memories!" - Paul "Spike" Dedrick - SysOp of The Personal Touch BBS (Nov 2, 2004)

AMIS Southeast, S.A.O.C.N.C., Southeast AMIS BBS, Southeastern AMIS
(1985-1989)
Trent CondelloneAMIS, Comet AMIS
"Southeast AMIS of Charlotte North Carolina, was an unusual boardthat catered to Timex, Atari (of course) and TRS-80's including CoCos... ran on a version of AMIS so modified that it didnt resemble AMIS... called COMET AMIS (home was Comet AMIS of Algonic, MI) written by Matt Pritchard and Tom Johnson with some heavy involvment of myself in certain features. Although there were various, odd, hardware configurations, the board itself always featured multiple message bases, private mail (user to user), a (then) popular BBS News Service that was called something soft News Net and was based out of Indianna and featured updated news and information. It maintained master lists of AMIS boards and one of the most accurate and updated lists of BBS systems in the US, and after BUG quite the "master" AMIS list Southeast carried on for a bit. Had callers from around the world, file downloads, was very progressive for its time and was working on a FIDO net type of thing when it went down. Had an ATR-8000, harddrive, worked on MPP and then later "regular" 3000/1200 baud modems. John Demar of New York State wrote the drivers (for MPP), however the COMET people made them work properly. Charles Marselett of Garland, Texas wrote the DOS (MYDOS I think) to make all the weird hardware work... at one point there was 8 DEC "oct" (as in 8x) drives runnning that used these damn expensive 5.25" special disks, very sensitive to dust,however I liked the Tandem drives. My father was fanatically opposed to my involvement in computers (or anything else), and would shut the system down in the summer the day I went out of town to my grandparents house in the Ozarks backwoods, and would sometimes even get rid of my equipment." - Trent Condollone

"One last thing about Southeast AMIS... most all of the AMIS programs that ran special features such as password protection, were Matt & Toms, although several people "claimed" to have written them, they were just copies of Comet. Comet was the original, and the other "similar" ones all had Matt's back door that was hidden only in his Comet software.... Comet was the finest Atari based system in its day, and deserves to be remembered." - Trent Condollone

"The XLR8ed BBS started life as a 2 Line TBBS system running on a TRS80 Model 3 with a 10MG Hard drive. It was sold to me by Peter Paul who used it to run the Night Shift BBS in Staten Island NY. Around 1988 I upgraded TBBS to the IBM version for about $249 and put 4 Hayes 2400 Smart modems online. As time went on, added USR Courier 14.4 etc. to replace the Hayes. It was the only BBS in town that you could mail in $1 and get a fully printed user manual mailed to your house. XLR8ed was part of Fidonet and Usenet towards the latter part of 1990." - Joe Venturelli

Gary Budd, Kenneth BuddPCBoard
"Simplified Computer BBS was the BBS for my father's (Gary Budd) small PC retailer "Simplified Computer Systems, Inc". I was the Sysop, under my full name (Kenneth Budd). It operated from 1988 - 1991, having two lines and running the professional edition of PCBoard at its peak. As Sysop, one of my duties was routinely using our "PCPursuit" (via Telenet's X.25 network) account to dial into the BBSes that were the origin point for the most popular shareware packages and download them for redistribution in the Charlotte market via our BBS. We considered this a public service, and it was very effective in driving traffic for both the BBS and my father's business. in 1989 Gary and I founded the "Metrolina Sysop's Association" as a monthly club for Sysops of Charlotte area BBSes. Primarily social in nature, MSA helped us deal with a few common abusive users who were wreaking havoc in our community. Alan Kaplan (Legal Eagle BBS), Richard Cook (Shadowland II), Wayne Cook (Scorpio BBS), & Joe Venturelli (XLR8ed BBS) were some of the founding members that I remember. (There were others that I'm failing to remember.)" - K.C. Budd

"I ran this BBS when I was 13 or 14, I don't remember the exact time. I hijacked the family 386 to run it, then we upgraded to an IBM 486 DX4 with OS/2, which allowed me to run it in the background. Had Fidonet and a couple more local networks, and used to write a lot of VBBS scripts. Even had a small scripting/graphics "crew", Emeraldise, with a few members, some not local. Had door games (including an ANSI etch-a-sketch clone I wrote!) and specialized in audio/MOD/tracking software. Its nice to reminisce about when I was a young, bored computer geek." - Will Howard

"This was one of my first experiances with a BBS. I have known this family for 12 years now. and can remeber the hours I would spend in the next room connecting to this and many other BBS on this list. Jeff and I still talk apon the days of the BBS. Sometimes I think of even starting my own just to show a new generation the fun and enjoyment the BBS's brought to many. Cause of my experiance with BBS I got started in my love with PC's. And wouldn't know the things I do now had it not been for the influence the BBS system had on me. I would like to thank all the Sysops for the time and dedication they place into building and running these systems." - Fred Ortman
