Cottonwood BBS

Post by wiskow »

After searching in vain for any dial-up Commodore BBS's that are still in operation and discovering, sadly, that there don't appear to be any left, I decided to bring mine back from the ashes...

So dust off your Commodore computer and modem, and call:

Cottonwood BBS
An authentic dial-up Commodore BBS
Running on Ivory BBS v3.3 software
Commodore 64 computer, Commodore 1670 modem,
Four 1541 disk drives.
Operating at 300/1200 baud, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Featuring sub-boards (message area), file transfers, text files, and a voting booth!
Plus... Real Commodore color and graphics, in all their immaculate glory! ;-)
(951) 571-2003
Located in Moreno Valley, California

Come and get a taste of what once was, and now is again! :-)

The dial-up BBS is making a comeback. The BBS has been back for sometime now with some 30+ bulletin boards up and running and available via the Internet. Seriously.

If this sounds interesting to you, let me know and I'll explain everything. It's really quite simple and a good lot of fun too.
Call me Golan; my parents did.

It'll be a great deal more successful if you all give it a call and try it out... ;-)

Seriously, though... I've found myself having to re-learn a lot as I go along. It's been a fun ride so far, and I hope it remains so. The BBS so far is really a work in progress... I'm sure there will be a lot of kinks to work out before it's perfect... if it ever is... But this much is certain: I'm not going anywhere anytime soon... As long as I have anything to say about it, the Commodore will never die! ;-)
