He still posts, just not as often as he used to. TEH BABA abides.

Boo-ya! This is James Kelley, the "Super Cool SysOp" of PC UNIVERSE! Glad to hear people remember the good ol' days, who were you on the board?

In my area (Owensboro, KY) there were a a few BBS's. Pegasus, PC Universe, Ivarland, Trestle Board, and Space Link. There were a few others with varying degrees of success, but PC Universe was by far the superior one (and I'm not just saying that because I was close friends with the Sysop.) Space Link was primarily just for Space nuts, and space related imagery. PC Universe had unlimited time limits, unlimited downloads, and had the most turns on TW2002 and L.O.R.D. I think he ended up having 3 lines or something, in the early days it was almost constantly busy - so I would log on in the wee hours of the morning (2am - 4am).

I remember when the whole gateway opened up in terms of message boards and such, we could talk about any variety of subjects on any number of topics with people all over the states at a whim really. Which is probably why I fell in love with usenet newsgroups, which is bascially the only thing I used the net for, for a few years anyway.

I miss those huge scale corporation battles in TW2002, had some really intense battles going on for awhile.
