Found this community and joine up with LJ. It's been so long since I've heard from everyone I just wanted to say hi. I was Badgirl on SS back when it was TMS and Starre on TFF. How's everyone been?
So when's the next GT? 6 comments | post a comment
I was wondering if any of the bbs'ers out there still get together? I know I haven't seen any of you guys in about 10 years and I'd love to see ya'll again. 1 comment | post a comment
I was sorting through some old photos and I found a handful of BBS crowd pictures from my birthday party in 1992. These were taken right before Scott and I "dated," so they're mostly of him, but soooooo funny. He found my NKOTB shirts in my closet, and put them all on...all at the same time. Also featured in the photos are Olivia, Richard, Matt Hicks, Marc Brawner, and a glimpse of Mattie. Good times. :)
I have received a lukewarm response from LJ folks so far, so I guess many of you are sitting on the fence about what to do about New Years. Are you planning to sit at home maybe? Gonna spend another New Years playing World of Warcraft or Windows Solitare? Going to go to some movie marathon snoozefest or something? Check our website at: |

I'm a Writer for MemphisMojo.com and I want to get some feedback from people about the site--what you like about it what you don't like, how it could be better, what type of info you'd like to see on it, is it easily navigated, would you visit it more than once, what would make you visit more than once etc. Go check it out http://www.memphismojo.com and respond to this thread.
We're working on lots of new ideas, but I just want to be sure we're headed in the right direction, so your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Also, for those of you in bands or doing something interesting in the city--be it art, whatever, I want to hear from you. I may be able to spotlight you in an interview for upcoming features on the site.

... Ron Davis? We used to play D&D. His younger sister was on Shadowscape, but I can't for the life of me remember either his or her logins. Her RL name was Sara Davis, I think. If anyone knows, drop me a comment.

It's been an AWFULLY long time, and I was not terribly old back then, either.
If you remember Cornerstone...
If you remember a little girl splitting her head open on an arcade game at a Pizza Hut... that was my sister.
If you remember someone getting fed up with the slow service at Pizza Hut, ordering Domino's, and getting thrown out... that was my mother.
If you remember a little girl with glasses who mostly sat around reading fantasy novels, playing games, and otherwise ignoring you, that was me. :)
Now a very very long way from Memphis, I am.

In case you missed the happy news,
poormattie (Necro, etc.) and I (Rain, Chocolate Kiwi, etc.) got engaged on Monday! =)
Soon we will join the ranks of other happily married couples who met on the local BBS scene. =) I've had to explain to lots of people what a BBS is lately since everyone's been asking how we met and whatnot. It's not as easy as one would think, especially since a lot of people aren't aware there was anything before the internet. =)

I don't know how many of you guys might remember me, but my name is January. I was on Shadowscape, TMS,and AWNW as Angel. I happened to stumble across this one day and decided to check it out. I remember so many of you and just thought I'd stop in and say hi.

It's been over ten years since I lived in Memphis, and one of the biggest things I missed about it was the thriving BBS community, spearheaded by none other than ShadowScape (or Mongoose' Shadow, depending on how old school you are). I have no idea what handle I was using back in the day, but I am 90% positive it was PhantomOfTheOpera. I was around 12-13 at the time, and attending Collierville Middle School. My major memories are arranging to meet two of the girls from the BBS at an arcade with my friend Trevor, and talking to another one of the girls (GreenJello, I *think*) about how "Primus is coming with Pantera!" over the phone late one night.
Man, I've missed this. :)

Hey there,
I happen to wander by and noticed the local BBS for Memphis. Thought I'd join and expand my views on what's going on with people outside my little hole. Anything special I need to know about being a part of the BBS? I'm sure standard ettiquette rules apply.

Hey everyone. Some of you will know me, others not. I missed the Memphis BBS days, but it wasn't due to my not spending half my life on the computer. And I'm 32 (ungh) so I was in college when I first got my U of M (err, MSU in them days VAX account). And giggled with joy at no-graphics websites and spent my free time in IRC.
Man.
Just figured I'd introduce myself since I've joined.

| Subject: | Memphis BBS Reunion |
| Security: | Public |
Lots of interest has been shown in a reunion now that Shadowscape went back up, if only for the time being. Of course, this isn't just for 'scapers, so everyone ought to come down. Preliminary scuttlebutt is that it will be wel attended by many old and long forgotten faces.
Tell anyone and everyone who was even remotely involved with the scene. A conjunction like this is not again likely in our lifetimes.
BBS Reunion Thing.
Saturday, March 19th
8pm until . . .
Side Street (Red Bar), Overton Square
We'll either have the Red Bar, or the little recess area of Side Street. Jury is still out, but the group should be easy to find.
Been lots of interested expressed in this, and who knows when it's going to happen again.
