Jason Michaels COMMENTS | " 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.
