Used to call Digital Candy around 95/96 before the bbs scene started to slow down
Some good memories of the bb scene. |

I used to call Digital Candy all the time, along with a local BBS, 13th Hour. It was strange to say goodbye to that whole scene, it was extremely unique! I remember upgrading my humble 2400 to a 14400... MAN! That was fast!!

Handle was Trigger the changed to F!restarter
Yeah I remeber logging into Digital Candy alot met some good friends at the time and became a member of Data division for a short time. Local Boards I remeber Disclosure - Sysop Mavrik Dallas - Sysop JR (seen him in the evening chronicle doing stuff about the Pits) Gamma Quadrent - Sysop Ace (In the USA) The Pyrimad - Sysop Scarab Junkies Paradise (Rimmers World) - Sysop Snooz The Graveyard - Undertaker The DarkDomain - Sysop Petza (built him his first PC) And only stopped when in the North East when All the BBS started getting busted. Also I bought a backup of the Digital Candy PC section off Ade which I still have. And also Emulation Nation by Banjo from Havok BBS like to go through and have a read wish I had a copy of the amiga section. anyone want a copy of the disks just drop me a line at fstarter@yahoo.com Subject Digi Candy & Emulation within reason ![]() Last edited by fstarter; 18 February 2006 at 19:29. |

i use to use MAX's bbs then i swaped to AMI-EXPRESS the best bbs software ever
http://amiexpress.skywalk.co.uk/ i had a 540 meg HD when i bought it i never thought id ever fill it but i did my bbs had no upload / download ratio no rules u could do what ever u wanted and instant access to the warez wich is why my bbs was quite popular i never expected to get many uploads but i got loads when i first got my modem and logged in to my first bbs i got a buzz it felt cool so i decided to make my own board it saved me a fortune with all the uploads i was getting i only had 1 phone line in my house so i could only setup my bbs on the weekend but since BT's phone calls were cheaper on the weekends thats the time most people used the boards i never logged in during the week days i would love to still have my bbs just to remind myself of what it was like i prefered the BBS's more than the net my NCOMM phone book was full of boards there all closed down now MAJOR BUMMER Last edited by petza; 09 May 2006 at 12:44. |
