Badger's Hole BBS
=================

Also listed as: The Badger's Hole

"I started the Badger's Hole in 1990 on a single line 2400baud
modem, running Quick BBS and a 30mb hard drive. As time went on
and file/msg boards grew, I of course had to upgrade the hardware.
At the peak, I think I had several hundred megs of disk space and
added a second dialin line."
"The name of the BBS came from an online game I played at the time
called TradeWars. During this period, I didn't have a BBS but was
an active caller at the Computer Connection in Calgary (which ran
the TW game). My game partner and I had a little planet which was
named 'The Badger's Hole'. As time went on and I had more interest
in starting up my BBS, I needed a name -- for some reason that
little planet came into my mind and The Badger's Hole went
online."
"I believe I was just in the last year of Junior high when the BBS
went active, throughout high school I ran it and really enjoyed
it. In 95' when I took it offline, I was a little sad as I
basically had it up and running for 5 years straight. Over that
time I tried Quick BBS, Remote Access and finally PCBoard (PCB was
a fantastic software package) For mailers I started on BinkleyTerm
and moved to D'Bridge as part of the FidoNet network. Calgary was
a great place to run a BBS, the SysOp community seemed fairly
tight knit and a very good group of guys. Thanks to Bernd
Bosemeyer for helping me along the way with hardware / software
issues, a very good person."
"If it wasn't for the cursed Internet I'm sure I'd still be
running it :)" - Martin Dettbarn
