Jamen ShookMutant bbs / then Wildcat the last 2 yrs
"It is great to see a list of all of the local bbs' in the area, this was neat to go back in time, Also I have registered www.banditland.net and it has replaced the bbs software, so friends and family go to it, but I still miss some of the things about the bbs community. You could always count on someone signing in and playing a game or uploading something they found, now with the internet, there is so much to see and do, no one devots any time to one site, they go and go and go, but it is usually not to the same site(on a daily basis). Anyways, great list and good luck on your documentary." - Jamen Shook

"We had 2 phonelines, which was a big deal. The other number was 828-665-1985. We actually ran Free Speech software in the beginning, then Pinnacle, and finally TriBBS. We sure miss everybody that used to call in! What a great time it was!" - Eric Bowers

The Arena
(1991)
NighthawkWorldgroup
"This was probably the biggest BBS in Asheville. It provided internet service also first through lynx and then through WinSock to a browser. The only competitor it had was AOL and even that was only towards the mid-late 90's. The BBS had a great community of people that were always in Teleconference, a huge file section, and the best door games." - Nighthawk
