|
Note: Every system in this listing of online services was placed here by the
|
|
Sysop of that system. The responsibility for changed or disconnected
|
|
numbers lies with the names associated with the numbers. Unlike other
|
|
lists that use automated doors to enter and verify bbs numbers, we
|
|
too have used such programs and found them to allow non-bbs numbers
|
|
to be added to the list. They also remove a working bbs from the list
|
|
if the auto-verifier happens to call when your bbs is down for system
|
|
maintenence or other reasons. At DFW.ZIP we have used a similar
|
|
automated feature in years past; now we find that we retain more
|
|
accuracy by personally checking list entries for bogus numbers and
|
|
down systems. Don't be fooled by overhyped bbs doors which produce
|
|
inaccuracies in the bbs lists they generate!

BUM STEER AWARDS
|
|
April 1996
|
|
|
|
|
|
Number One to Stan Abercrombie - aka "The Bandit". This person is well-
|
|
known to menace callers "voice" PARTICULARLY females, who he will
|
|
harrass at all hours once he weasles a phone number from them. He
|
|
has been reported to phone companies time and time again, but always
|
|
seems to reappear with or without running his own BBS. A genuine
|
|
problem-causer to BBS-land since the mid 80's: anyone who has come
|
|
into contact with Stan will have personal horror stories. Avoid him.
|
|
|
|
Number Two to Texas Metronet - the Internet provider. Do not own a
|
|
computer to run their husband/wife business from; they leech off of the
|
|
local University mainframe (like the FREE lonestar.org) but THEY CHARGE
|
|
people for it. Act like customer service is a god given favor which they
|
|
should be paid extra for. Wife/Accounting department keeps track of
|
|
customer service questions as if she should charge customers for each.
|
|
Technical support is nominally okay until accounting hears about it.
|
|
|
|
Number Three to local FIDO politics. In D/FW it seems customary to have
|
|
a mandatory change of hub sites every couple of months. This does not
|
|
include the regular "elections" where the same group of cheerleaders take
|
|
turns electing each other local beauty queen. FIDOnet itself is a great
|
|
and wonderful thing. The personalities of the "inner circle" are not.
|
|
|
|
Number Four goes to the ba-jillions of folks who believe all the hype
|
|
that they are going to be able to make instant millions running a
|
|
business on the Internet, even though they have never dialed a modem or
|
|
contacted a single BBS in their life. After time and effort these Hungry
|
|
Hippos find out they have a very expensive paperweight on their desks and
|
|
that most 12 year old sysops run a better online service than the
|
|
"business" folks could ever pull off, Internet or no.
|
|
|
|
Number Five goes to Incredible Universe and CompUSA. Both treat you with
|
|
swarming staff (3-5 tee-shirted employeees per customer) who will ALWAYS
|
|
tell you ANYTHING to make a sale. Examples: "Of COURSE hard drive space
|
|
and RAM memory are the same thing. Especially under Windows!" or "Yes sir
|
|
this 2400 modem is just as good as the expensive ones!" or "Just go home
|
|
and plug in this modem and you are on the Internet!" or "Yes, your SVGA
|
|
monitor NEEDS this whole wall of Screen Savers". Ask them to show you ANY
|
|
VGA monitor that has had an image burned into the screen from not using
|
|
screen savers.

ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ HOW TO GET YOUR BBS LISTED ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
|
|
|
|
|
|
This listing has been updated daily by the input of ALL the sysops
|
|
in Dallas/Fort Worth, and manually edited each weekend by Mark Robbins.
|
|
Sysop information is added to the bbs list via the SYSOP SURVEY. This survey
|
|
is found in DFW.ZIP as SYSOP.FRM. Fill it out and return it by Netmail or
|
|
Internet to mark.robbins@ssanctum.com or 1:130/607. You can call direct to
|
|
the source - SECOND SANCTUM - at metro 817 467-1175 to use the SURVEY there.
|
|
Internet users, contact info@ssanctum.com for more info.

|
|
Creating dialing directories for your communication program:
|
|
|
|
1. Support is given via Henry Clark's FONDIR software. You may
|
|
download FONDIR and import the newest list into it... however
|
|
Henry Clark no longer has a bbs to support this product.
|
|
|
|
2. We recommend the use of "TERMINATE" modem software to easily
|
|
import this list into your dialing directory.
|
|
|
|
************************** IMPORTANT INFO *******************************
|
|
|
|
There are now several different bbs lists floating around DFW.
|
|
Some of these are made by generic, shareware list-generating "door"
|
|
programs, and as bbs lists go they are pretty nice (when new). Most of
|
|
the generic bbs listing programs are not kept updated with "Down" or
|
|
"Moved" systems on a consistent basis, and keeping such systems on a list
|
|
can become a detriment. Many old lists circulate disconnected numbers as
|
|
if they were current - and cause problems doing so, especially at night.
|
|
|
|
This, the OLDEST CONTINUOUS listing of online services for D/FW, is
|
|
edited constantly by the input of local sysops - for NEW and ESTABLISHED
|
|
bbs systems - as well as changed and "down" numbers. The choice is yours!
|
|
|
|
Many other bbs's and tabloids (who rename themselves and move frequently
|
|
for some reason) tend to "borrow" the contents of this list for later
|
|
publication under differnt names. While imitation is the highest form of
|
|
flattery, SECOND SANCTUM's bbs list has remained the most accurate, most
|
|
popularly used bbs list in Texas for two simple reasons:
|
|
|
|
1) This is the oldest continuous bbs list in the state of Texas and
|
|
has been consistently updated with regularity since 1982. It is
|
|
completely "BY for FOR All D/FW Sysops" who personally contribute
|
|
all of the information to the list.
|
|
|
|
2) It has always been, and always will be -- 100% FREE -- and easily
|
|
distributed. The copycats and tabloids want you to PAY for your
|
|
submission of info about your system. DFW.ZIP has and always will
|
|
provide unlimited space FOR FREE to provide each sysop with space
|
|
to describe the online services offered at a given system. WHY PAY
|
|
to be included in a list or publication which still shows numbers
|
|
which were disconnected in 1990? DFW.ZIP gives you the best for FREE!
|
|
|
|
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ D I S C L A I M E R ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
|
|
|
|
1. The Dallas/Fort Worth BBS List is a PUBLIC SERVICE to all bbs
|
|
callers out there. A great deal of time is spent editing and
|
|
updating this list, and EVERY EFFORT is made to list boards
|
|
according to the wishes of each SysOp (as we have traditionally
|
|
done for years!) The point in the existence of this listing is to
|
|
HELP YOU, the modem user seeking CURRENT bbs numbers.
|
|
|
|
2. We are not responsible for any incorrect information in the
|
|
list. Hate-mail and rudeness is not the way to make a change to
|
|
this listing. THIS LISTING IS FREE, IMPOLITE COMPLAINTS WILL BE
|
|
POLITELY IGNORED. You have been provided instant access to make
|
|
changes to this list; it is 100% up to YOU to make any necessary
|
|
changes (particularly moved or "down" systems).
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
L I S T P O L I C Y
|
|
|
|
1. No board which participates in ANY sort of illegal activity
|
|
may be listed. This causes a bad image for all boards, we will
|
|
not support it.
|
|
|
|
2. Adult or sexually-oriented boards (or those which contain
|
|
messages and files of a sexual nature) must restrict all users
|
|
under age 18 if they wish to be listed on the DFW BBS List.
|
|
|
|
3. Handles, fake names, alter egos will NOT be listed as SysOp
|
|
name on this list. If a person cannot use a real name in the
|
|
association of his own bbs, we must suspect illegal activity is
|
|
the reason for hiding behind a false name. (On your board, such
|
|
"handles" may be normal for the way you run your system - but on
|
|
a legitimate, widely distributed listing, we must insist upon the
|
|
credibility afforded by your REAL NAME).
|
|
|
|
4. "THE" and "BBS" are not suitable words in the name of any bbs
|
|
system. Why is that? Every number on these pages is a BBS. There
|
|
is no need to be redundant and list "BBS" as part of the system
|
|
name. As for "THE", all lists are maintained alphabetically.
|
|
While you may name your bbs "THE BOARD", such nomenclature would
|
|
have us list every known bbs under the letter "T". In order to
|
|
list systems correctly, and making them easier to find, we place
|
|
those obligatory "THE" words directly after the system name,
|
|
separated by a comma.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LISTING BY SOFTWARE TYPE
|
|
|
|
Most people who have used a modem and BBS long enough to be
|
|
roughly familiar with such online systems, are looking at bbs
|
|
lists for boards they will enjoy. Tastes vary! Some like playing
|
|
games, some like serious discussions, some like programming and
|
|
reference. Not many people like ALL these; as personalities go.
|
|
With that in mind:
|
|
|
|
Most people who are somewhat used to this medium are ALREADY
|
|
FAMILIAR with types of bbs software, and most are comfortable
|
|
with one or two specific kinds of bbs software. For example, a
|
|
person interested in getting reference information will only be
|
|
wasting his/her time by calling a board featuring mostly games or
|
|
nudie graphics/online graffiti in the message base.
|
|
|
|
It is much easier for a bbs caller (with any degree of online
|
|
experience) to find the types of boards he/she enjoys, by looking
|
|
at the available SOFTWARE TYPES. The names of bbs's often tell
|
|
little or nothing about what the board is about. However, when
|
|
you see a board running under a given type of software, you have
|
|
a much better idea of what to expect - and therefore, you do not
|
|
waste as much time calling boards that you would have little (or
|
|
no) interest in.
|
|
|
|
While others may prefer to see a listing of bbs names and numbers
|
|
alone, we have found over the years that classifying boards by
|
|
software type is most helpful to callers who know what they want
|
|
out of a bbs - and which bbs's they wish to avoid out of personal
|
|
preference.
