(1992-2000) Cap'n Jim | VBBS |
"This was once a very popular BBS (with the theme of Star-Trek) in the Ohio valley and was involved in the very first network of BBS's in the area called StarNet, which made the newspapers. The BBS was first started on an old Tandy 1000RL with a 20 meg hard drive." - Cap'n Jim

St. Louisville, OH Wayne's World BBS |
(1992-1998) Wayne Millard | RBBS, WWIV, WildCat! |
"I started this BBS part-time in 1992 on RBBS. It went full-time on WWIV on October 12, 1994. I ran the WWIV board with Co-SysOps Bob Jutzi (who not only was SysOp of a local BBS (that switched names between The Zoo, Data Dimensions, and The Toolbox), but is also totally blind), Mike Wenzel (SysOp of Michael's Madness), and his son Nick Wenzel. The BBS converted to WildCat! on April 3, 1993. Mike Wenzel and Nick Wenzel, who were most familiar with WWIV, stepped down as Co-SysOps and were replaced with Robert Schweitzer (SysOp of PC-Exchange) and Bob Soltysik. The BBS became a FidoNet node (1:226/1430) on December 23, 1995. The BBS was also the mail hub for Z-Com. The BBS grew in popularity until a 2nd node was required. A 2nd node was installed April 30, 1996. 1997 was a tough year for the BBS as the Internet began to ramp up in this area and traffic on the BBS fell sharply. As I became a Sophmore in college (majoring in Computer Information Systems), my time with the BBS was shortening to the point that I could no longer spend the time to maintain it. The BBS took its last call on June 30, 1997." -- Wayne Millard

"I ran a SCSI System - I daisy chained 3 Pioneer 6 Pack CD's with a 6 pack offline request (18 online) 24 CD's from Night OWL CD's to Shareware Best. I also ran online games - Beta Tester for Freshwater Fishing - Ran Trade Wars 2002 - Master of the Universe (MOTU) - many more popular ones. I ran Wildcat! SOftware Multi-Node version - I had 2 to 3 nodes going at one time - even had a bump line from Columbus Ohio, making my LOCAL calling area one of the LARGEST in area. I don't know anyone else that ran 18 cd's online - so might make me the largest file base in county if not state. I also had Frontdoor for FidoNet, COBBA, WildNet, Boondocks (our local are nets), plus other available to me via Frontdoor or QWK packets. I really enjoyed jumping in a local Node and chatting with the users - or playing the online games. Most I missed of all is messing with DOS - I still believe it's faster than Winders (memory hog) but, the software is much better now using that environment. Just think what we can do with the speed connections we have now. Direct-Direct connection with a cable modem - WOW - no hops That would be speed. I remember my first HighSpeed Modem was $614 for a 14.4 HST USR "Sysop" Special I still have all mine that was connected to the nodes. Have fun - as my log out screen said - "Turn out the lights - the Party is over" - Lowell Clugston (Protean)
