Some say the very first BBS to open its doors was
in 1978 by a fellow called Ward Christensen who launched his BBS software
"C-BBS". Soon after the WWIV BBS software emerged and a network inspired by
messaging known as FidoNet was developed.
During the mid-eighties the BBS community experienced a large boom in
software development. More and more programmers released their visions and
large names such as MajorBBS and Telegard appeared and thousands of new
Bulletin Board Systems started to appear out of no where. A new techno era
has commenced.
During the early nineties other software flavors we're on the rise, hundreds
of message networks available such as StarNet for example. The community was
stronger then ever. LORD (Legion of the Red Dragon), Renegade, VBBS and
Powerboard are some of the few new software newly available. The dial-up BBS
was more popular than ever. Nineteen ninety
nine marked the commercial debut of the internet and the slow and painful
death of this Era. Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) have touched many of us,
this is why E-BBS was developed. We hope to recapture some moments and
create new ones giving rebirth to a new platform.
The E-BBS Software is a full featured bulletin board
system software inspired by an Era which once dominated the world of
telecommunications.
