BBSs!

[hampstor]

Does anyone know of any telnet based BBS's around today? I've had this itching to play BRE and LORD :nut:

Kenny put your BBS back up for beyond members! it can be just like in the good ol' digitech days :burnout:

[kenny]

BRE and LORD wow... hahah those games took up so much of my time back in the day lol. good ol' digitech bbs =)

yeah... i even remember ripping off your ideas/ANSis :D

c'mon, put a bbs back up! feed that addiction to BRE and LORD again!

[rage2]

a lot of the 403 bbs'ers and SysOps are on beyond :).

CALGARY, CANADA Digital Technologies BBS
(1994-1996) Kenneth Chan

MUHAHHA! The good old days. Funny how I'm not listed on that website...

[Khyron]

Nuke still has a BBS running for 5 bucks a month I think. bbs.nucleus.com

I miss fidonet. Calgary Chatter anyone? :)

Bulletin Board System. Kinda like the internet... before there was internet ;)

[James]

I clicked on the link thinking of BBS wheels, then was like WTF are they talking about! ......didnt realize it was in the "Computers, Consoles, and other Electronics "....fuck :rofl:

[googe]

i had a bbs for a while, i was addicted to LORD, so i got very good at it, but being a sysop and winning in LORD = cheater of course :(

[4wheeldrift]

I can't believe any of these are still around :rofl: I used to frequent a couple back in high school. You can usually find copies of the games easily enough on the internet, they don't require much setup if its just you using them.

[Shaolin]

YOU'RE KENNETH CHAN? Do you remember a board called Exodus? I ran that board!

I miss the Multi-Board BRE.

Ahh yes, FidoNet, my first experience with email. I remember getting Frontdoor to work was hard as hell. Downloading that nodelist? cripes, that took forever too. Oh the memories.

EDIT: I just took a look at that list.. remember alot of old Sysops I use to talk to during those days, weird that I'm not on that list..

FD was a nightmare for me the first time!! I couldnt figure out what to do with all those 'error level exists' in RemoteAccess. Good ol' interplanetary BRE!!

[rage2]

I got banned off Fidonet ;). That Fred Towner guy didn't like me haha. Let's just say he called the RCMP and they paid a visit to my house when I was like 14 :rofl:.

My board went from RA, to PCBoard, to my own BBS software that I wrote. I ran Boombastic Line (the dates are wrong on the site). I also wrote a lot of the batch files for my friend's BBS, Badger's Hole.

[Khyron]

Ha I remember calling Badgers hole.

Ride the BlueWave!

I know you're not Kenneth Chan, I was talking to Kenny :D

You ran No Limit eh? I remember you.. don't know if you remember me. I talked to you a couple of times on the phone back in the day.. You're Minh right? I remember you calling me up one day asking to buy my 2400 baud modem because you were thinking about giving it away to one of your users..

FD was brutal, I don't remember how many hours I've spent trying to get that to work.. The Interplanetary BRE were the best.. I remember tulit on here used to run Compu-Link and had Interplanetary BRE.. I doubt any of you guys remember me though :D

Man, brings back the memories of high school BBS'in.

Really? I was a regular visitor of Badger's Hole, I remember he had 2 lines for that board. I think he was the first BBS in calgary that tested the board out under Windows 95???

[kenny]

FD wasn't overly difficult to install and run, but then again I had a really good understanding of .bat files and had a really complex one done up for my BBS.

IP BRE was the biggest time killer there was. There was that other game, Trade Wars or something that alot of people got into but I found a bit boring.

[Khyron]

Major Mud baby.

Khyron surprise slashes you for 145 damage!

Actually the board ran forever under desqview. I don't think it ever ran under windows AFAIK. I know I ran my BBS under win95 but it crashed a lot. It could also be my buggy code, because at that time I was trying to move completely onto my own BBS software that I wrote.

Badger's hole was one of the first 14.4k BBS's in Calgary. Martin got the 14.4k HST modem from US Robotics for a whopping low price of $1200 through their SysOp discount program.

[NickGT]

MajorMud was definitely the most addictive game I've ever played. I've run multiple worldgroup bbs'. Still have all my software around here somewhere. =)

Correction... that was Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. By Win95, it was all internet for me :).

[rage2]

If anyone still has their BBS software along with the Doors that they wanna install, put it together and ZIP it up. I'll host it on one of my servers :).

ah the days of genesis/nexus...

I remember you hooking me up with simple scripts for Telix/Telemate... although we were always close to the keys =) They didn't like having their dial-up lines tied up by people who weren't even there!

[Shaolin]

yeah it was great.. I can't imagine anyone playing that game by hand now.. unless you have way too much time on your hands.

I remember talking to you about that 2400baud modem! I think it was cause one of my users wrecked his modem and I had to find him one. I don't remember your name though ... Yes it's me, Minh :)

Legolas Greenleaf - Courser of Raging Inferno (genesys/nexus)

3. Slash AndHackYouToBits Witchunter ArkimedeanDynasty 4742850 :D

And who was the girl that was always at the meets? Her mud handle was Vemtira SarsSpankinWench

Sean (Sysop/owner of nexus) worked with me at Cadvision for awhile until those charges fucked up his life.

You know I think that as all the BBSers got older they just moved to cars.

I heard Sean's running a board out in Saskatchewan, and yeah, those charges really fucked him, how did it go anyways?

Where you working now anyways?

[hampstor]

AHH the good ol' days of downloading over your modem... learning that X Modem sucked so you eventually ended up using z modem (stopping at ymodem in between) if you were using terminate or some other client :D

[hampstor]

did anyone ever play that exitilus door? it was sort of like a buggy version of usurper meets LORD

Hah that's hilarious - no idea it was you. :D I remember our pool hall meets! I'm doing comp crap for sears, married now - it's all good. I still play Medievia every now and then. I dunno if Sean got convicted or not - but it didn't really matter, the charges alone were enough to ruin anyone.

Old mud page is http://www.nexus-point.net/major/Main.html - it's got some old caps etc (last update Dec 99). MMudSim works under 2000/XP - it will make u laugh.

[Juice]

I connect to darkside.dtdns.net. It has IP BRE in 3 different leagues plus it also runs local BRE, LORD, Tradewars and a bunch of other games.

[Shaolin]

IP BRE's fun when you all start out at the same time or when there's big guys to help you.. once your protection is over you just get whooped if you're newb with no help.

Exitilus was fun, it was one of the most popular games when I had my board up.. but yeah it was buggy as hell. Games people never played were like SRE and Falcon's Eye :rolleyes:

Anyone remember Chat With Lisa? :rofl: :rofl:

I do! And to think I actually spent time chatting with her. And even worse, the BBS owner being able to read what I was typing makes me sweat haha.

Hearing all of these names brings back serious memories. I remember frequenting No Limits (so busy all the time) and the Batcave :rofl:

[Shaolin]

yep, I had the clean version and the dirty version of Chat with Lisa on my board, was hilarious to see what some of the people were typing to try and get her to talk dirty hahaha.

Some of the boards I frequented most was SOS, Skyfire, Zeta Hyades, No Limit, Digitech, Utopia Space Fields and Untitled BBS.

[Khyron]

Just a bump for an email I got, because you can still play MajorMud if you want. I'm scared to try just in case I get hooked again.


I run a BBS on WouldGroup software and would like more LOCAL people

BBS: White Dragon BBS
Telnet: Dragonbbs.dyndns.org
Website: http://dragonbbs.dyndns.org/
Sysop: Dragondawn (real name) Gerry
pls give us a try we are free:))



Tempted... :P

Khyron

[Shaolin]

man Geoff, no way in hell I'd play MajorMud again.. unless if I can get a copy of MMTerm or that other scripting app (I think it's called MegaMUD?) that I used back in the day.. it just takes way too dam long to level up in that game if you play manually..

[rage2]

wow, talk about bringing back memories of bringing back memories! :D

[Darkane]

Holy fuck! Khyorn And NickGT I was Zephyr on Nexus! Remember my missionary?! LOL then Legolas started on Mainline where I was .. holy shit that game ruined my life :) WoW has nothing on MMud. Slash's goblin Witchy was it? Legos ranger.. Ah i hate u guys :) Im itching to play.

Edit.. ahah Remember Zabrex? That guy played by hand around 12 hours a day EVERYday. Insane. leveling in the Ancient crypt.

[Shaolin]

You were zephyr? You're a swords of chaos bitch. I remember you.

[Darkane]

Bahaha, Stupid wayferers. Haunting my mind still :rofl:

Wasted and I played that game before Mmud. it was a good starter mud lol

6. Zephyr Guenzmaster Missionary Raging Inferno 3875071
hahahah

[Khyron]

Ha, I thought Zephyr on beyond was you for the longest time!

Did you click this link?

Zephyr and Legolas (http://www.nexus-point.net/major/Thrag.html)

Legolas - Master of Raging Inferno, and the Lords of Discipline.

Good times, have to say. But checking out the website for the BBS - there's tons of areas I have never even heard of. I was sure Majormud would have died out by now.

I still have my script bots, and spare computers, hrmmmmm.
