Does anyone remember a Citadel like BBS in the 1980s with an enhanced
Eliza implementation?

Back in the early-mid 80's I remember dialling in to a BBS in the US,
possibly Atlanta but I can't be sure, that was an early Citadel style
BBS.

Key features that I remember:

- rooms (this was the first BBS I ever found with rooms)
- floors (you could move between floors which were collections of
rooms)
- external programs/games
- notable for a enhanced implementation of Eliza which would remember
recent topics and return to them if no keyword found in the current
dialog

Does anyone have any idea what that might have been?

Almost sounds like a MUSH

Way before MUSH's, early 1980s, only on dialup, definitely Citadel
like in style with Rooms but also Floors. The Eliza was quite
sophisticated for the time in terms of conversation.

Edit->Find "eliza"  There are a few mentions in there, which might jog
some memories.
