Unreferenced date December 2009 Celerity BBS was a descendant of the freely distributed source of TCS BBS 1.43, and ultimately nearly completely rewritten. Origin It originally began as a project of Brendon Woirhaye The Byter and David Hicks Moebius in 1990 to quickly modify an existing Bulletin board system BBS package to meet a simple organizational need separate conferences for IBM PC users and Amiga users , and to meet the needs of high speed 9600 bit s communication, as most BBSes of the time could not pump data to the modem quickly enough. The I O and display subsystems were rewritten, and the BBS package got its name. Use It wasn t long before others became interested in the BBS software, and it went on to have over 500 authorized BBSes and about three times that number using it in an unauthorized manner. It was very popular in the underground pirate, hacking, and phreaking community as well as with legitimate systems, including church BBSes, non profit group BBSes, many shareware distribution systems, and a governmental BBS in Portugal. Features Celerity BBS had over 50 discrete releases between 1990 and 1995, and pioneered a number of new technologies which were not commonly seen, including split screen multiuser chat 8 node maximum , a file distribution network, an early liveupdate system where BBS updates were distributed, a cross BBS message board and email network CelerityNet, adopted by some non Celerity BBS programs , QWK offline reader support, the ability to completely change the look and feel of the system, geek speak mode that transformed normal text to leet g33 5p33k , and early internet File Transfer Protocol FTP and Telnet connectivity.

MBBS Mike s BBS was a popular Bulletin board system BBS system in the Nordic countries during the mid 1990s. It was created by a team of Oslo based enthusiasts, led by Mike Robertson programmer Mike Robertson . As many BBS systems of that era, it was only available for the DOS platform. Since one process could only handle one node, computer multitasking multitaskers such as DESQview or Microsoft Windows were necessary in order to run multi node BBSes. MBBS had to use the only viable means of interprocess communication under DOS, namely to read and write to a set of files in a common subdirectory. Since these files were accessed very often, many SysOp s moved them to a RAM disk . MBBS user interface was a command line interface where commands could be stacked . This means that instead of typing a command, being asked to supply some parameters, and then typing another command, one could type them on one command line separated by a space or semicolon. An example is code m sa g y code , which expands to marks, save message pointers, goodbye, yes . This user interface was copied in Kim Heino s later BBBS software BBBS system, to the degree that most valid MBBS command strings do the same in BBBS. MBBS was released as uncrippled shareware by Gallagher & Robertson . It is now discontinued, and its final version, 10.4, was released in 1996. Mike s BBS was also the name of the MBBS run BBS, operated by Mike Robertson, which in many ways served as a social hub of the Norwegian BBS community of the 1990s.

SPITFIRE BBS is a DOS based Bulletin Board System written by Mike Woltz, published by his company Buffalo Creek Software of West Des Moines, Iowa. SPITFIRE was written in Turbo Pascal with Assembly Language routines. It was released in 1987 under the Shareware concept and had a moderate sized fanbase, only outnumbered by products such as RemoteAccess , TriBBS , PCBoard , Major BBS , and Wildcat BBS . It was possible to run multiple nodes of SPITFIRE under Microsoft Windows and OS 2 although, most SysOp s preferred to use Quarterdeck s DESQview for this purpose. SPITFIRE interfaced with message relaying systems such as FidoNet through 3rd party utilities such as SHILOH, a QWK networking interfacing program, and BCSUTI, a Postlink style networking interface. SPITFIRE s most successful release Version 3.2 came in 1992, just before the World Wide Web exploded on the scene. By 1994, many SysOps began converting from running BBSes to becoming Internet Service Provider s. Mr. Woltz was greatly admired by loyal SysOps, but was known for being somewhat stubborn and due to his unwillingness to add Internet connectivity to the software. SPITFIRE s usage dwindled significantly throughout the United States. It was and is still used throughout the world, particularly in countries where high speed Internet access is unavailable or banned. However, due to advances in technology, SPITFIRE can be run as a telnet BBS by using a virtual FOSSIL driver and TELNET telnet engine SIO VMODEM under OS 2 , NetFoss , NetSerial or NetModem under Microsoft Windows Windows .
