<H1>BBS Textfiles: CBBS</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
From Ward Christensen's private collection, here are logs of the last 5 years of CBBS,
|
|
the original Bulletin Board System (founded in February of 1978). This is a treasure
|
|
trove of insight into how the first BBS had grown up and spent its last few years
|
|
before closing up for good. The logs themsleves are captures of sessions of Ward logging
|
|
into the BBS, reading messages (there were no private messages), communicating with the
|
|
users, and generally doing his sysop duties.
|
|
<P>
|
|
While many of these files will be of interest to only the most die-hard of BBS historians,
|
|
it provides some real insight into how the role and use of the BBS had matured across
|
|
CBBS's 16-year history.
