Secrets of the Universe
=======================

"We (my co-sysop and I) made a simple weather station that
connected to the BBS that reported the current temperature on the
welcome ANSI file. We were in high-school at the time."
"We also made our own door that was distributed named 'Good Deeds'
'Good Deeds' would suggest to the user a nice thing to do to help
someone out everyday. It was a bit of a joke but about a dozen or
so other BBS's registered the program from us! (Registration was
free)"
"The BBS has been down for a few years now. I only *just*
disconnected the phone line a week ago. As nice as the Internet
is, there is a *feel* that can't be replaced. Some of my best
online experiences to date were at 9600 baud."
"There was this guy that kept calling my BBS. I didn't know at
first but I found out I went to school with him. One day I was in
the same class as him. He was talking trash about my BBS to his
circle of friends. He said how it was 'lame' cause it was a "PD"
(public domain board) I finally traced (with caller id) one day
that he was calling. This guy had been calling my BBS every single
day for 4 months straight (no joke) playing a game called LORD
(Legend of the red dragon). He had one of the highest scores. That
guy was a prick for talking trash about my board. Every time he
would log on I would manually (for fun) screw with his minutes of
remaining time. I would crank it up to over a thousand minutes,
then he would run over to the time bank to bank his minutes. Just
before he committed the minutes I would drop carrier on him. When
he would log back on I would manually change his minutes to 1.
Time out! See you later!"
"I hardly ever played 'God' but it was good that I could."
"Now I write software, setup web server(s), etc. As cool as
gathering statistics on usage is, nothing beats being able to
watch what a remote user was doing in absolute real time. Chat
with sysop... 'yup?' I am (was) the sysop of the secrets of the
universe BBS. Still have the 386 and 486 that ran it! Still have
the userbases and ANSI screens on 1.44 disks." - Shaun Rossi
