The board was one of the best examples of art- | based BBS' in the region at the time and featured both | ANSI and RIP screens for those who had Ripterm. The line | was busy 24/7 it seemed with 30-50 calls daily. I | thought when we got to a gig of storage and 28.8 baud we | were the fastest thing going. People logged in from | across the US to download our art 'packs' and locally it | was also a popular gaming board. We also carried | FidoNet, GoatNet and other message networks. Alter Ego | was among the first BBS' in the area to offer free | internet email to its users in 1997. Like all BBS', the | internet eventually made it obsolete, but running Alter | Ego, meeting the people who logged in and learning about | computers changed my life. I ran it from my sophomore | year in High School through Freshman year in college. | What great fun it was! -James (Striker) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-592-5208 | Glory Bound BBS, The Glory Bound | SPARTANBURG, SC (1993-1996) SYSOP | Ken Kirkley --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-595-3288 | Ask Dorman BBS | SPARTANBURG, SC (1996-1997) SYSOP | Jim Gardner --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-599-0267 | The Blue Force BBS | SPARTANBURG, SC (1996) SYSOP | Brian Leiter --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-599-0314 | Crime Quest Distribution Network, The Blue Force BBS, The | Spectrum BBS | SPARTANBURG, SC (1996) SYSOP | Brian Leiter --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-599-0972 | Site 1B67 | SPARTANBURG, SC (1996) SYSOP | David Crown --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-599-1936 | Game Net BBS, The Blue Force II | SPARTANBURG, SC (1995-1996) SYSOP | Brian Leiter --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-834-1938 | *Square One | TRAVELERS REST, SC (1997-1998) SYSOP | Bill Gordon --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-836-0785 | The Carolina Network | TRAVELERS REST, SC (1996-1998) SYSOP | Robert MCCall --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-845-8048 | The Cat House | PIEDMONT, SC (1996) SYSOP | Sean Green --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-848-1961 | The Looking Glass | GREER, SC (1992-1998) SYSOP | Kenneth Wiren --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-855-8085 | BCS Support BBS | EASLEY, SC (1994-1996) SYSOP | Eric Hester SOFTWARE | Wildcat --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-855-8407 | AmiConnection | EASLEY, SC (1998) SYSOP | John Hoyt --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-859-7040 | The Ryan Express | EASLEY, SC (1996-1998) SYSOP | John Edwards --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-862-2304 | *Square One | FOUNTAIN INN, SC (1996-1997) SYSOP | Bill Gordon --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-878-6125 | Torrey's BBS | PICKENS, SC (1997-1999) SYSOP | Torrey Gilstrap SOFTWARE | TriBBS --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-878-7278 | Wyndows Ware BBS | PICKENS, SC (1998) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-878-7340 | The College Board | PICKENS, SC (1994-1997) SYSOP | Ronald Pappas --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 864-879-2848 | FORUM!

I ran Deviant as a ANSI art board - my goal | was to have a really pretty and streamlined BBS full of | style. Helping the ANSI community was a real pleasure | and Deviant provided endless entertainment for me and I | hope others. Moreover the community was just great - I | made several life long friends through Deviant and other | BBSes. At its height my board was burning up the phone | lines with 40+ calls per day... my only regret is that I | never could spring for more phone lines. At some point | Bell South offered an upstate calling plan for a flat | rate and this really opened up the entire 864 area code | for a lot of people. There were dozens of BBSes all over | the place and it was great fun to sit and let Telix run | through my list... thanks to all the other sysops - this | was a wonderful hobby.
