The Realms Of Doom
==================

"This is a fantastic list and brings back many fond memories of my
BBSing days. "The Realms of Doom" was originally named "Crimdrac's
Bloodied Lair" after the Dracolich from SSI's Forgotten Realms
game "Curse of the Azure Bonds". Later, I renamed it to "The
Realms of Doom" to capture a broader fantasy world. The names I
chose are rather morbid, but at the time I actually envisioned
hope in a dark world where heroes would emerge, bringing their
light. I was only twelve years old when I started operating the
BBS. I owe many thanks to my Dad for buying the family a C-64, 300
baud modem and separate phone line to support my endeavour. Also,
many thanks to Billy Baird (TGWN) who was a true pioneer and
inspired me to create my own BBS. Thanks also to the operator of
Infinite Loop BBS (which seems to be missing from this list) who
spent many hours helping me configure Remote Access. I ran many
newsgroups on the BBS (ie. MetroNet, FidoNet) and offered disk
space for uploading/downloading programs. However, online games
were definitely the heart of it, especially Seth Able's LORD,
Dustin Nulf's Operation Overkill and Chris Sherrick's Trade Wars.
My experience as an operator took me through many developments in
technology. I believe I started with a 486sx/66 running MSDOS and
experimented with Windows, DESQview and OS/2, as well as multiple
BBS platforms such as QuickBBS, Remote Access and RoboBoard over
the years. I always had to juggle providing the best experience
for my users while also using the same computer for my own
purposes. I shutdown the BBS when I graduated from University and
went to live overseas. By this time the Internet was already
taking over the world of BBSing!" - Eugene So
