"I was shocked to find this web site. I had no idea that my small BBS was listed on a list anywhere. I sysop'ed this web site for about 5 to 6 years (it originally ran on a Commodore 64, then later on a Commodore 128 before running on an old IBM PC comparable (8088 processor) using Wildcat! software. Anyway, thanks for listing The Entity. It was quite a surprise to find it listed here." - Marty Grove

Was an active node in the Intelec BBS network operated by Cliff Watkins and later, served as a hub. also a node in a few other networks, provided users with internet based email services circa 1993-1995. This stuff is just background - but would like my name & John's name, and the right dates to be shown. He and I put a lot of time, effort, and scraped up the dollars to keep the software updated, and the server and phones online.

"The BBS originated in Edinboro back in 1992 as the Starlight BBS, which was only run at night due to the fact that it was on a campus dorm phone line. It resurfaced in 1994 as The Inn of the Last Home (the first of many name changed before it's final name of Phoenix Rising Holt.) in LeMoyne PA, and was moved to Dallastown PA, and back to Edinboro PA, and finally to Erie PA before I made the decision to take it down for lack of usership in January of 2000(I had one regular caller and decided it wasn't worth keeping up anymore.) The BBS had a brief comeback in 2003, but was gone for good when the hard drive on my old computer crashed, and all backups were found to be corrupted. I am toying with the idea of resurrecting it to some extent on the internet if I ever get the time and remember how to set one up." - David Stayduhar (Puck)

"Let me start here: Jason, thank you for putting this together! History of the board: This was a home-brew special with a single digit userbase. Back in the day, my 793 exchange was a toll call for most everyone I knew. I was able to connect with the Altoona/Hollidaysburg (942/3/4/6, 695/6) crews but not so much the other way around. Board ran off a single line. Protocol was a voice call to tell me you wanted it, and it was plugged into the IBM 486/33 by request. Personal Note: For all you guys that were just pixels on a screen or words on ""The Wall"", for those of you who turned into real people not just user names, for those of you I laughed, cried, and chain-smoked with, and those of you who will always be part of the best memories of those years: On the outside chance you're reading this all these years later - Thanks for all the adventures you fantastic mother****ers!" - Nuts & Nutz

KAINE'S World

Jason Michaels
" First I want to say thank you for the work you have obviously done in preserving the history of BBS's . I am "Jason Michaels" (I used my on the air DJ name from WBXQ) the SYSOP of KAINESWorld BBS. I been aware of your list for sometime now and cannot express how much it makes me smile to just see those old familiar names on screen again. That time period was downright magical in terms of the BBS community. All of us 814 area sysops were a pretty tight group who helped eachother daily, be it a problem with altering .Dat files, figuring out the best Init string to use, or help getting an "add-on" for Barney Splat to work. There were even a couple of sysop volleyball games outside of Roosevelt Jr High. Seth Able(L.O.R.D creator) was very active in helping overcome any issues one may have had with getting L.O.R.D to run right on whichever BBS platform we used. KAINES world started on a 8088 ibm compatible pc with a single node bbs on the kitchen table of a party house right outside PSU. Occupied by 3 sets of teenage couples utilizing the shared lone phone line causes Many early dropped carrier messages for sure. I was attending Computer school at the time learning cutting edge things like dBase III and Win 3.1. When Kaines world was first online, it was simply to tinker with system files for Searchlight, and to work on ansi art for "Welcome Screens" for a few sysops I had come to befriend as a user. By the time Kaines World signed off in late 97 for good it was running two nodes at 19200, had over 150 users and was rocking some sweet custom RIP graphics, most of which created by Sandy Childester from Outworld arts. Hands down, Sandy was a Pioneer in terms of digital art and many BBS sported her work. Her custom Welcome page art for Kaines World Is my single most regrettably lost file, would love to see that again. Kaines world sadly, was zipped away in a file placed on an old laptop along with my"Hot Rod" game files and countless midi files and lost in a fire. There will never be a time in computing like that again..... Thank you for reminding me of it. "A Blinding light engulfs you. You are now in the presence of Kaine" Sysop has pulled you into chat.
