	"Inspired by the wonderful scribblings of one Berkley Breathed and the stories of Bloom County, we ran a fun (and VERY busy) BBS out of the corner of a bedroom in Burlington, Ontario. There were many characters on this board from all walks of life. Some noteables: Hank!, 7 foot Dave, Sheila & Dan, Julian & Shirley-Mae, the ever-so-cute Nicole, Wendy & Carcass (Marcus) It was a way for all to unite in a common interest... ...the parties were awesome too! If only I could find the time to port the software... Cheers!" - Michael Hier

	"You already have my BBS listed, but I wanted to provide some background. Also, your list really brought back some good memories. The ICE BBS became very famous for cheats. I had a database of over 30MB (yes 30MB, seems so small now) and over 4000 cheats and trainers people could download to cheat and change their game settings via a trainer. The ICE BBS also had full access to FidoNet and partnered with a few other BBS's in Toronto, including Intoxicated BBS, and we had our own private FidoNet with a few forums. I also wrote a somewhat popular Door that allowed you to rank the number of uses of each of the door programs you ran so BBS Users could see what the most popular doors where. Always Tradewars was right up there. Good stuff, thanks for bringing back good memories!" - Steven Hammond

	"Hi. I am Andrew Bishop, I found you guys off a google search looking for tradwars BBS's. I started to get nostalgic about the old Utopia Planitia. I started it as a high school project and after the school no longer wanted to pay for the phone line. I moved it to my parents basement and joined Fidonet and the others. I just wanted you to know that it all started from an episode of Star Trek: TNG where we got to see the inside of Utopia Planitia for the first time. I have one addition. I had another co-sysop, Timothy Wildeboer. He kept the file bases full buying the Nighowl CD's every time a new one came out. I also wanted you to know the software we used over the years: started with WBBS at school, then moved to Telegard, then Renegade (was the best for a long time) and then ended up with the commercial version of Wildcat! 5 that ran on WINNT 3.51 and later 4.0. We went through 386's 486's, Pentium 1's and the last PC I ran the BBS on was a Pentium I 233Mhz and I still have that PC to this day. Today it is my home firewall running Linux. I even have backup tapes somewhere with the whole BBS on them. I finally had to give it up when my IT career started to get busy in 1996. Looking at your list it seems that I was one of the longest running BBSes in the 905. I was never big, maybe had 250 users and 1 node at my peak. Thanks for preserving some of the history of computers. Those days were fun, discovering, upgrading and learning. Keep up the good work." - Andrew Bishop

905-689-3982 Waterdown Ontario Canada,	The GameBoard BBS (1987-1999)	Mark Collis, Mark Collins	Elite / PCBoard
	The GameBoard BBS was dedicated to online games, RPG's and other online fun. This BBS orginally started out on an Apple ][+ with four floppies and a 300 baud modem. Back then the big draw was a custom written, simultanious hidden movement combat game called Star Ace. We outgrew the Apple ][ and upgraded to an Apple //e with a 5mb Profile harddrive and the Elite BBS system about 1990. The writing was on the wall in the early 90's, either shut down the BBS or convert to an Intel based system. We bit the bullet and scrownged hardware and put up a PCBoard system. We never did port Star Ace, but we did get all the very best and most popular online BBS games at the time. Eventually we grew to two lines, seven CDROM drives, FIDONet, an Internet link to the newsgroups and over 80mb of online storage for files and games. During this time I kept writing small applications, utilities and games for the BBS. QOTD (over 5600 quotes), a rewritten Elisa type program, Solitare 97 and other programs were shared with the online community. With the advent of the www, the caller base dried up and I eventually pulled the plug on the BBS third quarter 1999. At The GameBoard's height, we boasted a user base of over 800 members and were an important part of the BBS community in Hamilton/Burlington area." - Mark Collis
905-689-6558 Waterdown, Ontario	The Night Shift BBS (1985-1988)	Jonathan Jackson, Lance Lange, Dave Robinson	McBBS (commodore 64)
	"McBBS was a command line driven BBS Program run on the commodore 64 and a 300 Bps pocket modem. I believe I upgraded the BBS to a 1200 Bps modem near the end. It was one of the most fun things I have ever done. I miss the early days of computing and local BBS systems. The Night Shift was one of the first BBS's in the Burlington/Hamilton area to put a 1 meg download section on line (for commodore 64). This was accomplished by using a SFD 1001 drive unit instead of the 1541 Drive that came with the commodore 64. My 3 digit user code is : 632 and my alias was Tazzy. Hope this is helpful." - Jonathan Jackson
