The Threshold of the Twelve Galaxies
====================================

Also listed as: The Twelve Galaxies

"I started this when I was working at a bank in Los Angeles. The
idea was to create a BBS with a dynamic universe, where the focus
was story telling by allowing the user (called a Desdine) to
become active in The Twelve Galaxies (12g). Each of the 12 nodes
were named after the 12 galaxies. In fact, I actually only had 1
phone line; 12g was only up when I wasn't using the PC. I used
SearchLight (SL) at first because I wanted RIP support. But SL
could not support traditional handles, using a "nickname" feature
instead. I found Synchronet BBS (SBBS), which had a lot more
features, & unlike SL much better External Door support. Never did
buy it. :(
"12g never really took off. I spent a lot of time creating my BBS,
setting it up to do things that my AMD 386DX 40mhz w/4MB RAM PC
couldn't really do, like QWK & FIDONET networking. Friends would
log on, & occasionly users would come via other BBSs. My interface
was unique because it was completely different from the standard
SBBS menus. I customized everything; even the .DAT files. All the
default text would be consistent with 12g's Atmosphere. File
transfer was called Contributions, messages were
CyberTransmissions, nodes were Junctions, and chat rooms were
CUBicles. I edited nearly everything I could in the TEXT.DAT file.
"Sigh, I had a lot of fun with my BBS. It "ran" from 1992 to 1995
until I had to move." - Sire Doime
