New England BBS's reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xianoth · 2013-08-13 23:52 Growing up in the 80's, I first got online with a C=64 and a 300 baud modem. Fun times had but the expense of calling non-local numbers was a bit expensive. I cut my teeth on the following BBS's: * King's Castle * The Apogee * Boggs These were my favorites. I also ran a few different renditions of BBS's myself and was always surprised that people would call back a 300 baud site. Any other New Englander's around from that time? Let's chat about the "old" days. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sysop_2400 · 2013-08-14 18:08 Central Florida here, no help with new England but figured I'd say hello.

When I moved to Boston I was on Argus a lot (a multiline BBS, I think it was MajorBBS). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xianoth · 2013-08-16 01:02 I never got on MagorBBS, but I have heard about it. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xianoth · 2013-08-16 01:04 I just moved from the Orlando area last September! Whereabouts in Central FL are you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sysop_2400 · 2013-08-16 02:54 Hey, that's pretty cool! Where ya end up?

Some that I remember: Vanguard BBS Joe's Bar and Grille Gamer's Guild BBS Good ol' Cookie Shop (something like that) Ascii Express Sportbike BBS Nasus Nibble When the phone company started offering circle dialing, it was one of the greatest days of my life (or so I remember thinking). I think I had a problem.
