Dating Tree
===========

Also listed as: The Dating Tree BBS

"This BBS system was in operation from 1986 to 1995, until PLink
and AOL basically destroyed the market. It was essentially a
dating bbs, and we held social parties on a monthly basis. More
than 15,000 people passed through this system and more than 25
couples ended up marrying as a result of their meeting on this
system, including myself (Bob Field and my wife Joyce
(Deleonardo). The system was shut down in 1995. The Dating Tree
had outlier forwarder systems that covered the entire Greater SF
Bay area, from Santa Rosa on the north, to Morgan Hill on the
south, to Pacifica on the West and Livermore on the East. It was
the subject of at least one Master's Thesis and many articles and
even one major radio station did a face-to-face interview with the
Sysops, because it was the largest and most active in the area at
that time. Later, other bbs system sprang up and became larger." -
