"The KEEP is still up on the net at http://www.thekeep.net and telnet://thekeep.net I started the bbs around 1983 on my TI-99/4a home computer using various programs until I found TI net which I liked and had online games etc.. Then I migrated to a PC with QuickBBS.. decided I wanted to go multi-line so I upgraded to MajorBBS ver 5. and kept upgrading until today it's running on Worldgroup Ver 3.2NT.. I moved the bbs a few times, it started in 1000 oaks in the 805 area code, moved to 818 in Agoura hills around 1988. It moved then to the SF valley in Winnetka around 1990 and lived there for a few years, moved to Chatsworth in 92.. and then left Ca for good in November 1993.. I relocated to Eugene Oregon and brought the BBS right back up there, and it ran for years until I moved to Portland in 1999. At that point I saw no reason to continue offering dialup and moved to internet only access. The KEEP is still going strong here in Portland OR. (Actually Tigard) and is telnettable.. so join us!" - Gregory McGill

"I started Encino Park BBS using one of the first IBM PC clones from a company called Columbia Data. The software I used was RBBS. It was open source. I Also made changes to this which worked pretty well. (used Basic if I remember correctly). Many of the surrounding BBS were using Wildcat during this time but I resisted. The system consisted of the Columbia Data with the 8088 taken out and replaced with a V20 from NEC. A 300 BAUD modem. Later a Universal Data Systems modem was added and when the Board shut down it had the following: The Columbia Data IBM PC with 640k ram, 80 MByte Micropolis Hard drive, a Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem, Color RGB CRT monitor, Mouse systems optical mouse. I made a some friends while running the board, some I still have contact with today. I was very surprised when a hard drive partitioning utility I wrote made it from Encino to Boston where a old friend saw it and got back to me. The cool thing was that I was not part of any kind of network. It just of migrated." - Jay Tyzzer

"I started the BBS on January 15, 1987. I pulled the plug on January 15, 1997. It had been very slow in the last year, but I wanted to be able to say I ran it for ten years. That morning my wife and kids and I got up, stood around the three computers in the den, saluted, I simulated the sound of a bugle playing "Taps" and I shut them off one at a time. The Ledge was the International Host system for U'NI-net, one of the major BBS Echomail Networks that I helped start with fellow Sysops Jim Fouch (Sleepy Hollow) and Vic Kass (Rose Media). The board also operated with numbers in the 818-896 prefix when I moved to Lake View Terrace, CA." - Joseph Sheppard

"I was the Sr Communications and Network Engineer at Odyssey Online between Jan 1992 and Dec 1996 (I was a user at Odyssey starting in early 1990). Odyssey Online was located in Monrovia, CA, not Long Beach, CA. It ran on a highly modified version of Major BBS v5 w/a custom setup of Major BBS v6 sub-systems for taking advantage of modern games at the time. In Feb 1994 we added a Full UUNet T1 connection to the Internet and using a Novell Unixware custom setup that tied into the main BBS system allowed telnet in, web site, and allowed dialup users to access the Internet via command-line and a strange SLIP software setup for "web" access. The owner of Odyssey Online was Michael Allen. Was globally dialup accessible via CompuServes x.25 dialup network, and at its peak could handle 256 online users including local s. cal, compuserve dialup, 800 # and telnet (starting in early 1994). Odyssey Online was still in operation through 1997 but it was moved from S. California to a company in San Francisco in early 1996, I was laid off in Dec 1996, and it was still in operation as a online services at least into late 1997 but I lost contact with the owners after that. Came in #8 on the BoardWatch reader voting in 1993." - Nevin Lyne

"There was just one name for it: dBored (818-367-3359). I was a budding PC developer focusing on dBase programming when I started the board in 1987 to support that community, which morphed into the Clipper language. The board was a clearing house for tips & tricks until I just got too busy with a new IT job to support it. But I have fond memories of it and all the people who used it...including one caller who ended up becoming a client that I worked with for the better part of 20 years." - Tom Wyrick

"This system was originally located in Monterey Park and replaced "The Demented Domain BBS" which ran at the same number from 1987 to 1988. It was replaced with MOBBS when I moved from running the system on a Commodore 64 to an IBM PC/XT. After a couple of years, the system because the official bulletin board for The Pasadena IBM Users' Group (PIBMUG). At that time, Co-SysOps "Rod Ream" and "David Jung" assisted with the administration of the system. Following that, I moved from Monterey Park to Alhambra (where it maintained the same number until 1995). I then relocated to another address in Alhambra and the phone number changed to 818-570-xxxx (I forget the exact number) because the Phone Company said that exchange prefix wasn't located in that part of town even though it was in the same city. The system ran until the Internet started to take hold of the market and PIBMUG moved to a website. MOBBS was taken offline in December of 1996." - Steven Fuhrman

(1988-1989) |
Chris Humphrey | Amiga 500 |
|
"My BBS was run on an Amiga 500 using a USR 14.4 HST modem gotten thru the USR Sysop deal program for about $400. WOW what a deal!! =) My BBS was actualy called 'Sanctuary BBS' names after the rock group Iron Maiden and their record label 'Sanctuary Music' and one of their songs "Sanctuary from the law..." lyrics. I forget the exact name of the Amiga BBS software I used, it was not CNET but I am guessing Pro-Board BBS or something along those lines... will check my storage unit and all my old Amiga 3.5" disks next time I am up there for the actual name as I am sure I still have the original BBS disk. =) Fun days back then in the computer world. I am amazed my BBS made your list!! Very nice." - Chris Humphrey

William Padilla | Wildcat and PCBoard |

"Panasia BBS started in 1989, running Wildcat!. It was inspired by other amazing BBS's such as The Ledge, Hotline, Hot Tips, etc. Sometime in the early 90's, I converted Panasia BBS to PCBoard, which she ran on until her sunset in 1999. Panasia BBS quickly joined the echomail community, first by becoming a member and then hub for Intelec, then later by joining ILink. Eventually, Panasia became an ILink NDS (hub) and I was appointed ILink's Admissions Administrator. Thank you for maintaining this huge, cool list. Very nostalgic indeed. Panasia BBS is gone now, but I did maintain the Internet domain name, which is now used for a website: www.panasia.com." - William Padilla

"The above BBS was operated by a guy named Rob, he is in prison for Murder. we used to talk a lot back in those days till he called me one day telling me he was on the run. That was the last I heard of him till I received a letter form him in Jail. Really wild because his BBS number still sticks in my head to this day even over the mass of local ones I used to call." - Kevin Nardelle

From the September 1994 issue of Boardwatch: Calabasas, California since 01/90. Sysop: Richard Montaine. Using Excalibur .67 with 8 lines on WINDOWS with 12000 MB storage. AT&T Paradyne at 19200 bps. No fee. Multi-tasking BBS which allows users to download, upload, chat and E-mail all at the same time. Never be bored waiting for a file to finish. You can now do many things at once. I recommend that only high speed modems call when accessing the file library.
