Historical List of BBSes in the 704 Area Code --------------------------------------------- Created by TEXTFILES.COM From Many Sources 704-209-3158 | Hunter's Planet, Hunters Planet | GRANITE QUARRY, NC (1997-1998) SYSOP | Chris Young COMMENTS | "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 --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 704-209-3436 | CHARLOTTE AREA NET, Nursery Cryme | GRANITE QUARRY, NC (1998) SYSOP | David Hughes --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 704-241-9234 | Magic Castle, Magic Castle 5 | Newton, NC (1994-1996) SYSOP | Luke Walling SOFTWARE | Renegade (and others) COMMENTS | "Would love to see a little history represented for the | listing.

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!

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.

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.

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.

COMMENTS | "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.

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.

"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....
