I was a stay at home | mom and I began the BBS after being a cosysop on a few | Staten Island BBSes (SISTER, Night Shift and Grand | Central). In the beginning, I ran Ariel BBS on a C64 with | two floppy drives on Ribbit software and one phone line. | Ribbit was full of bugs, so I became a beta tester for | Frog software which was very good. I was finally forced | to upgrade to an IBM 286 to keep up with new technology. | (MY C64 was also innocently crashing several of my | favorite BBS systems and I didn't want to do that.) I | tried several shareware BBS programs and again fixing | bugs took up too much time. I finally upgraded to better | equipment with Windows 95 and settled with Wildcat. The | BBS worked great for many years, until the Internet took | over and users went down to one caller a week." - A. | Sessa --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-351-4304 | Corner Pub | NYCZ 14, NY (1991) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-351-6546 | Whambat BBS | NYCZ 14, NY (1994) SYSOP | Robert Cruz --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-351-7633 | Abstract | NYCZ 14, NY (1990-1996) SYSOP | Mark Froese SOFTWARE | RBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-352-0821 | Hidden Matzoh BBS, The Corner Deli BBS | NYCZ 11, NY (1992-1994) SYSOP | Michael Schiffman --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-352-4194 | Kitty's Cafe B, Kitty's Cafe BBS! | Queens, NY (1994-1996) SYSOP | Kitty SOFTWARE | Wildcat , WildCat 4.01 --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-352-5851 | Army Outpost | NYCZ 11, NY (1993-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-353-1231 | New York Information Exchange, NY Information Exchange | NYCZ 9, NY (1992-1994) SOFTWARE | DLX --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-353-6994 | The Gateway | Flushing, NY (1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-356-1879 | Dark Side (Falcon HQ) | NYCZ 15, NY --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-357-0429 | The Midnight Connection | NYCZ 11, NY (1994) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-357-0501 | Midnight Connection, The Midnight Connection | NYCZ 11, NY (1993-1995) SYSOP | Walter Rappold --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-357-2242 | J&L Computer BBS | NYCZ 11, NY (1993-1994) SYSOP | Juan Garcia --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-357-8982 | The PARK BBS | NYCZ 11, NY (1991-1992) SYSOP | Mike Group --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-358-3340 | L & P Dynamic BBS, L&P Dynamic | NYCZ 9, NY (1989-1994) SYSOP | Lewis Kopp, Kopp & Haze SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-358-3355 | The Midnight Connection | NYCZ 9, NY (1992-1994) SYSOP | Walter Rappold --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-358-9209 | Hackers Den, The Switchboard(HD) | NYCZ 9, NY (1990) SOFTWARE | Emulex/II --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-359-4316 | Hitchhikers Guide to the Gal. | NYCZ 9, NY (1989) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-361-0876 | The Corner BBS | NYCZ 8, NY (1995-1997) SYSOP | Miguel Rios --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-361-3117 | Thunder road bbs | NYCZ 8, NY (1990-1991) SYSOP | Tom Vera --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-363-9806 | Computron HQ | NYCZ 6, NY (1988) SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-364-7943 | Children of Galaexy | NYCZ 3, NY (1996-1998) SYSOP | Ahkenaton Dyer --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-366-1456 | Dimension Z (Node 2) | NYCZ 6, NY (1995-1999) SOFTWARE | TriBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-366-6165 | Rama One BBS, Rama One BBS (R1C) | Glendale, NY (1994-1995) SYSOP | Tommy Brunning, Tomy Brunning SOFTWARE | MajorBBS 6.21 --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-367-2940 | Bronx Science | Bronx, NY (1992-1996) SYSOP | Kenneth Topp SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-367-9090 | Fordham Prep's BBS | NYCZ 3, NY (1993-1997) SYSOP | Mr Greene, Fr.

A monthly subscription was $15. | Sanitarium had seven phone lines, and ran on an Apple //e | with seven modems. Night time was frequently busy enough | to fill all seven lines for hours on end. We frequently | linked to Out of the Blue (for weeks on end), as well as | DDials in New Jersey and Texas. One term in frequent use | then was "blog", short for backlogged. This occurred when | the sum of the input from the other six phone lines was | greater than the 300 baud output to your line, and was | worsen when you would type a message, stalling output to | your line. Shortly after Sanitarium started, a fifth | DDial started in Brooklyn, by the name of "Joe's Bar and | Grill". Unfortunately, with five DDials to choose from, | most users would not financially support more than one or | two. The base of users in the 718 area code wasn't | growing, and with little to differentiate the DDials, it | was difficult for any one DDial to have enough paying | users to cover the expense of seven phone lines. Later in | 1987, Sanitarium was taken down." - William Hertling
| "Into the Black was a short-lived BBS that bridged the | period from Sanitarium (DDial #66) to a later, more | successful BBS known as the Programmer's Pit Stop. | Running on an Amiga, storage consisted of a: 1MB RAM | Disk, two 880K 3.5" floppy disks, and a 440K 5.25" floppy | disk. Because the Amiga had real multitasking, even way | back when, it was possible to run the BBS and still use | my computer, which was great compared to other systems." | - William Hertling --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-692-1368 | MoonDog BBS 3 Private, Moondog BBS Private | NYCZ 7, NY (1991-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-692-2498 | Moon Dog, MoonDog BBS, MoonDog BBS , MoonDog BBS 1 Public, | Moondog BBS Public, MoonDog's , MoonDog's | Free BBS, Moondog's PCB REL, NYCnet | Network CoOrdinator, NYCnet Satellite | Feed, MoonDog'sys | Brooklyn, NY (1987-2004) SYSOP | Don Barba SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-692-2942 | David's Girls BBS | NYCZ 7, NY (1990-1994) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-693-6122 | Vitasoft | NYCZ 6, NY (1986-1989) SYSOP | Robert Phillips --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-694-0433 | Net2603 Ogate, Queens HUB, The BATcave | NYCZ 6, NY (1993-1994) SYSOP | Steve Matzura, S.

It started as basically a gay | social media BBS, and became a major source for AIDS | information as the epidemic spread. It was founded by | Artie Kohn, a great guy who died of AIDS in 1991. I | believe Artie's brother Fred kept it running for a year | or two after his death, and then a member, "Tiger Tom" | kept it running from 1993-1997. It had several dial-in | numbers (the main one above) but there were alternate | numbers in the 212 exchange and perhaps others. David | Charnow served as co-moderator of the board from 1987- | 1990. Aside from the online aspect, there were "Backroom | Bashes" held at a Brooklyn gay bar or at Artie's | apartment where members could meet and greet their online | friends. My handle was "Wings Theatre" (my company). My | lover was "Hot Spik". The Backroom was an important part | of my life after first moving to NYC, and then in '88 | getting an HIV diagnosis. I'm still close friends with | two or three of the guys I met on the Backroom ("GT Pete" | and "Sy Clops" were the handles.) Upon the arrival of | the internet, Artie became one of the first to link to | the new technology and we all received internet email | addresses. I remember The Backroom with a great deal of | fondness and appreciation.

This increased to 1200 baud, then 2400 baud, | and the system grew to host a large amount of public | domain CP/M applications, with the eventual intent of | joining the FOG (First Osborne Group) league of BBSes. | But a system failure on the Osborne shelved that plan, | and the new United Front BBS began on a 286. This BBS | grew and flourished through many changes in its hardware, | up through 386, 486 and in its final incarnation, a 486 | DX/2 66 driving six 19,200 baud modems while multitasking | over an 8-port serial card using Quarterdeck software. | At this point the BBS featured a wide slew of online | games, inter-user chatting and also inter-user | multiplayer games, not to mention a large chunk of the | EchoMail feed and also many FidoNET file feeds; with | approximately 5 GB of storage, with more content coming | in every day on the File feeds, the BBS had a very | extensive selection of downloads. By this point too, the | SysOp had been elected as the Net Coordinator for NET 278 | (NYCNET), with authority over all of the many FidoNET | BBSes in New York City and its five boroughs. Over his | many years in this position, this BBS also became the | primary EchoMail Hub for NYCNET, and the SysOp also | accepted the mantle of Net EchoMail Coordinator. Yet the | inexorable, growing draw of the Internet, AOL and other | commercialized online services and the ongoing decline of | FidoNET in general led the BBS gradually from having all | six lines continually occupied to getting perhaps one or | two calls per day. Always provided as a free service, | with subscription being optional, the BBS was shut down | in 2000 due to lack of use and lack of operating funds to | cover replacing failing hardware and the ongoing expense | of six phone lines." - Darrell Benvenuto --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-886-6214 | SUPERLINK BBS | NYCZ 9, NY (1992) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-886-6988 | Baud Stiff, Baud Stiff BBS | Queens, NY (1992-1996) SYSOP | Klatuu SOFTWARE | TBBS, RipTerm COMMENTS | From the January 1996 issue of Boardwatch: The new BBS | where there's never a dull moment.

It | featured a number of popular doors, such as Chess, Hang- | 'em-high, Wizard's Arena. It ran as a single node board | and, after finding out that there was a major PA board | named "Round Table," it changed to "Mind Matters BBS" | several years into its life, and had two nodes running in | DOS windows under OS/2 Warp (Yeah, you try configuring | DOS door batch files with variables under OS/2 Warp). It | started with a 1200 modem, followed by a 2400 MNP-5 | (replaced, by an excited Sysop, with a 2400 V.42bis mode, | which of course was much faster). Then, it ran on a Hayes | 9600 modem, which "only" cost around $800 under a special | Sysop deal. After 1996, calls became fewer and fewer, | and it died." - Israel Silverman --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-951-8256 | The Backroom | NYCZ 7, NY (1993-1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-951-8820 | The Backroom BBS | NYCZ 7, NY (1993-1997) SYSOP | Tiger Tom --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-953-5705 | Gaming Central BBS | NYCZ 6, NY (1995) SYSOP | Spencer Portee --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-956-3874 | Cravings BBS | Brooklyn, NY (1993-1995) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-956-5673 | Rose Cross/1 BBS | NYCZ 8, NY (1991) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-956-6542 | Excalibur | NYCZ 8, NY (1990) SYSOP | The Cat SOFTWARE | Telegard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-956-7863 | The Bay Ridge 13 BBS | NYCZ 8, NY (1991) SYSOP | Jim McQuade SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-961-1764 | Galaxy Express 999 BBS | NYCZ 9, NY (1995-2000) SYSOP | Wen Hsieh --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-961-6678 | The Toolbox | NYCZ 9, NY (1992) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-961-7233 | Phantom's Quarters BBS | NYCZ 9, NY (1991) SYSOP | Kyung Kwan SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-962-2403 | dClipboard, dCLipboard 1 | Bellerose, NY (1992-1996) SYSOP | Kevin Clark SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-962-2628 | The White Tiger, White Tiger BBS | NASZ 2, NY (1991-1994) SYSOP | Robert Hoffmann SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-963-2189 | Tele master:F.C.C. | , NY (1986) SYSOP | Richard Ho --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-966-5930 | Orions Bet | NYCZ 15, NY (1992) COMMENTS | Trsi Member BBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-966-7651 | Echomail Hub II, NYCnet Richmond EchoHub, NYCnet Richmond | Echomail Hub (HEC4), Staten Island Sys- | Link, The Black Box II BBS | NYCZ 15, NY (1991-1994) SYSOP | Ray Zak --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-966-8637 | Forum 6 Nodes, The Forum BBS | Staten Island, NY (1991-1996) SYSOP | David Heath, Centurion SOFTWARE | PCBoard --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 718-967-6827 | The Fanatics Bulletin Board System | Staten Island, NY (1990-1994) SYSOP | David Dempsey COMMENTS | From the September 1994 issue of Boardwatch: Staten | Island, New York since 11/90.
