Looking for an old incomplete BBS software called "Pressure BBS" by Crimson Overload reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-09-27 20:04 I was in C.I.A. group back in the day off and on with some other groups. Did some art work and programming for them. Released some sloppy work and an incomplete from scratch BBS software Lucid back in like 97/98 when I was still in high school. Anyways, been looking for a member of CIA who went by "Crimson Overload" ... I sadly forgotten his real name as over 20 years has passed. He wrote him self, from last I knew, an incomplete BBS software called "Pressure BBS" .. I know I am not crazy as I can use [http://sixteencolors.net/pack/ciapak20/LV- LOGO1.LGO](http://sixteencolors.net/pack/ciapak20/LV-LOGO1.LGO) and see a Logo for it.. plus a mention in another art pack about him working on it. I don't think he ever released the source code nor do I think it ever got out as a full release download anywhere that I can remember. So maybe lost to time... I lost a back up tape that may have had it sometime in early 2000s :( I love to get my hands on it again for old times sake if possible, as he and I talked a lot back then on IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- westiewill · 2019-09-27 22:23 Look up Araknet Community on Facebook. A lot of BBS peeps over there, might be able to find out more info ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-03 13:19 ooooh im also a fan of incomplete or rare bbs software.. would love a copy when you find it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-04 16:16 It had a really neat API for building extensions via BP 7 that hooked into BBS IO. Sadly like most it never got finished but was fast and had some neat features. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-11 02:40 Thats cool. Almost sounded like it was done from scratch rather than being a forum clone.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-11 15:46 It was... and pretty advanced too. He was good at ASM, so a lot of fast code mixed in there with the Pascal language. Also the So was the one I started and never finished.. which oddly enough.. was called Lucid :) At least my source code is still out there to download so I can look back and realize how nasty my code was back then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-11 17:31 dont think ive seen lucid before either... ive compiled from most every larger compilation thats been around over the past 20 years... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-11 18:00 [http://source.thebbs.org/pascal- a-m/files.htm](http://source.thebbs.org/pascal-a-m/files.htm) Two crappy sources of mine there ... I was only like 16 yrs old or so when started it.. Really had no idea what I was doing most of the time. Wasn't fully from scratch. I think I borrowed a few things, like the ansi parser.. probably async/fossil... I was pretty proud at the time of the split screen chat system, pullbars, MCI / Ansi parser, Menu, simple DB system I had in it. I miss these days .... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-11 18:05 Fun fact .... the person who helped me do the chat system was a close friend of mine growing up, is one of the lead programmers at ID, Billy Khan, from Doom 2016... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-12 00:49 I was friends with Nivenh who did one of the larger softwares towards the end, Sam Brown who did emulex, and even Ken Duda who did Forum PC that started the whole “forum hack” thing. Another BBS soft that I lost that was actually a it more popular was Genesis PC by Kiriwuth Path... NO it is not the same genesis you see on all of the source page listings or pc-micro or whatever.. It was absolutely from scratch and in those days that was cool since everything either looked like telegard/ww4 or forem/emulex/Tcs... The ultimate would be to find TransPhor written by Brew Associates but in the LOD days... NOT the pascal version that I hacked out of TCS or Vision or whatever that you see everywhere.. had a copy - now the USSS has a copy. Uh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-12 01:54 >Nivenh I remember talking to him IRC back in the mid to late 90s [http://www.demonic.net/impulse/](http://www.demonic.net/impulse/) If that is the same guy, which I would assume by the name. If you look at NetFossL.pas see, a greetz out to me and another local to me and old friend I havent seen in about 10 years, Sudden Death ... :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-12 04:32 Yep he did impulse and also ran Termite Terrace our of Richardson tx using Pyroto Moyntain - after a while I believe buying the right to the o software.. small world.! Hope to find some warez with you in bbs source/relase land.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2019-10-15 23:12 judge dredd i almost want to say that I knew you back in the day.. I dont think you were in 972/214/817 but since I was this crazy bbs software collector I think I might have run across you... your nick sounds awfully familiar to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-16 05:19 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jdredd87 · 2019-10-17 02:35 513/606/859 hung out on efnet ... #cia , #bbswarez , #iniquity , #mysticbbs
