Inferno ======= "I was surfing through the web earlier, feeling a little nostalgic when I ran across your website with information and lists on Bulletin Board Systems. Much to my surprise, I found Inferno BBS. I was like, "Hey that was our board!" I had tinkered with bulletin boards as early as 1993. With the help of some local sysops of boards across my small hometown of Stanley, I was pointed in the right direction on how I needed to go about setting up a board. With a little luck and long hours of determination, I was able to get a board up and online... which was the Alternative BBS using WWIV. After listing my board on some local BBS systems, I managed to connect with Mr. Steven Houser. He and I shared a common interest in computers and became pretty good friends. We changed the name to Inferno BBS in 1994 and ran it pretty solid through 1995. Steven did all of the technical stuff, and I did the day-to-day running of the board. We ran the board off of a computer in my bedroom at my parent's house, which was connected to the 2nd phone line. By 1996 Steven and I had lost contact, and we went our separate ways. After he left, I had moved to the Internet using a service called Netcom. Soon after that I moved to AOL Dial-up and I guess the rest is just history! I guess you could say that now our Inferno BBS belongs to the ages of the history of computing." - David Fortenberry Phone : 704-263-1411 Place : STANLEY, NC Years : 1993 - 1995 Sysop : Steven Houser, David Fortenberry Software: VBBS, WWIV Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
