I remember the BBS well. My absolute favorite memories are from sitting at my PC jr late at night, logging on to the BBS and looking around. On a very few occasions, a message would come in from Ken Williams! I remember going absolutely nuts when seeing those messages, and being able to talk to him live (while trying to keep my hands from shaking!)
I would love to see some of those archives, if they exist, or better yet, a re-creation. Thanks for posting about that BBS, I had forgotten all about it!
