What I remember most was that all of the boards using BigName(tm)
software were always desperately trying to recoup their costs through
memberships. I was all about hobbiest (sic) boards back then, didn't
want access to megs and megs of shareware and wasn't willing to pay for
a board to have multiple lines.
I don't think I ever called a Synchronet for DOS BBS back in the day -
surprising since I was in California. DM, were you still in California
back then?
The bay area was mostly Forum, Telegard, Searchlight and
Wildcat/Spitfire, if memory serves. Some older Opus systems still
hanging around - and Tom Jennings still ran a Fido BBS...
... Which parts can be grouped?
