Hey Tony, Nice to see your name again as I was in RC19 as well as an independent for years until I was put back in net382. I sometimes miss the old fidonet...
The Polka Dot Palace was in Madison, NJ and ran from 1993 until 1997. It was a pretty small operation and not connected to Fidonet or anything like that. Lisa ...
Yes, they were extremely well written - something I don't think we'll ever see again. I remember spending hour upon hour going through my Vic-20 manuals...
I think my greatest Christmas present related to BBSes/IT was when my dad bought me an XP desktop for a Christmas/birthday present. I used that to develop...
I had a similar experience.. My first game system was Mattel's Intelivision (got it in 1980 for christmas) and then a C64 with 1541 and a few games in 86.. I...
The C64 manual was excellent. In my archives I still have original C64 owners manual and the programmers reference, as well as the C128 equivelants.. 65XX...
About 6 months ago I took a tour of approximately 40 modern BBSes. I had a nice HTML article I was writing up but then I didn't really know where to publish...
I disagree. The original c64 manual was a POS. I just looked at it again just to make sure it wasnt just me, and no, it is crap. The chapters on graphics and...
... I wasn't; it got me started. Actually, what I learned from that, and then on my own from looking at other code, got me through every programming ...
My thoughts are that we'll never really be able to recapture that age, just like we'll never be able to capture the days when web sites were primarily...
A brief note, as compared to that very large soliloquy about the state of BBS' and how they can be resurrected: I noticed a small blurb on the bottom of that...
No, he is speaking of drug wars. I remember it. I know lots of ppl loved it, but I wasnt a fan. I spend alot of time in 87 on a p-v-p D&D type door for c-net...
Yes to both... Trade Wars was the original code that I modified to create Drug Wars. Amazing how things like this stay with us... I still write custom modules...

Wow! There's a lot of interesting things in this rant (for want of a better word) and most of them I agree with. In my area, the peak of the BBS era was about ...
Ah heck.....BBSing today, as much as it ever was, is a hobby. If it has no value to the SysOp it has no value at all, much like collecting old stamps. Value...
Before I spend a little time chit-chatting about Quag's excellent post, let me drop some information with regards to the sidetracking "Drug Wars" posts that...
First, I must say how surprised I am that a full 23 days after such a thoughtful, insightful, community-engaging and intelligent post by Quag7, only a handful...
I miss the days of BBSing. I did most of my BBSing when I was still using a Commodore 64. I called all of the Color 64 BBSes that I could afford to call in my...
... Way to act like a condescending ass. Let's try to keep things in perspective here: this is 80sBBS. The name alone should give you an idea of the...

Jeeze....I have to agree with DA, on his take on Jason's reply to Q7's initial post. This story gets hashed out all the time in a retro list. I have had a...
