Raunchy Rubber Band Land

Raunchy Rubberbandland was the last BBS that occupied this phone
number - and by far the one that it is remembered for. It was an
idea that came up between Richard Orr (Evil Elastic) and Dan Swan
(Dethimself) on a Sunday night with the goal of attracting many of
the well-known (luminary) BBSers of the day in Calgary that were
scattered across many boards. It was modeled after Studio 54 in
some respects - hard to get in (you needed to be known) and that
exclusivity drove a lot of interest across the community. Dan can
be credited with both the name of the BBS and the sysop name - he
was riffing on names and when this came up, there was no more
discussion needed. Searchlight was used since it was fairly new at
the time and gave the BBS more individuality. The other aspect of
the board was the very limited number of message boards on it -
the goal was to limit the number of places could segregate to
drive more volume of conversation. There may also have been a few
of exclusive file sections but I can neither confirm nor deny
that.
