It got somewhat popular in the fox valley area after the largest board (Flashpo
int) swtiched from Proboard to Synchronet around 1994 or so. Before that, every
BBS was ProBoard.
"Mr. Homie's Neigborhood" was my favorite until the Sysop moved to Milwaukee. bo
th that BBS and Flashpoint ran ProBoard in the beginning, and it spawned a ton o
f ProBoard BBSes in the area. When Flashpoint moved to Synchronet, a few others
followed.
There was a handful of more "professional" BBSes around here, they either ran Wi
ldcat! or MajorBBS. The Data Exchange went from MajorBBS -> Worldgroup to becom
ing the area's first full-fledged ISP.
