I'm sure the vast bulk of the message archives from BBSs are long gone. Many were local and vanished when the systems shut down. And I'm not sure how many archives there are from FidoNet, PC-Relay and the like.

What was your BBS handle? I was in the 609 area code and these ANSIs look familiar :) I might have been on your BBS or one using your software. Although it was most likely a long distance call to 908 so I don't think I called it that often.

edit: Oh I guess it was Midnight Sun? I don't remember if we ever interacted, but the ANSIs look familiar!

Yes, it was Midnight Sun and my BBS was called The Night Light.

You were long distance in 609, so we might not have ever met. My only memory of the 609 area code was of a good Pascal developer named Ffejtable? (question mark included in the handle.) What was your handle?

I have the last few months of logs and messages from my bbs but have lost all of the menus.

I'm in the opposite situation, I have all the ANSI art I created but none of the Remote Access database + config files. CRC error. Oh 3.5" floppy disks, how you made storage exciting.
