Domination 08 BBS Guide
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
---------------------------------------
* The BBS-Guide *
---------------------------------------
Hello and welcome to a start of a new chapter series.
In my opinion the name of the chapter says enough
about its content, but let me explain, what the chapter
should be for.
Every issue of Domination you should be introduced
a little into the C64 BBS scene. That means every issue
I will introduce some boards, their outlook, their
action, who's hangin' arround on this board, hardware
that is used to run the BBS and so on... .. .
Now I will start to give you a little look into the world of
bulletin boards:

a good way. Every 24 hours the ammount of posts in
the first sub is growing about 15-20 new posts.
One of the 'old' boards still online. Sad that boards like
HIC (due to an HD crash) is down and also boards like
'Down By Law' and DREAM PARK do not exist anymore...

*Other:
One of my personal favourite boards, the best in Swe-
den in my eyes. (I know that I should stay objective, but
...) If you enter the area of the subs, a lot of nice dis-
cussions will hit your eyes. FAIRLIGHT is rarely seen
and also HITMEN is not often seen at the moment. From
time to time you are able to meet Jucke.. }
Nice GFX to see as also on TD and some very friendly
and often seen sysop on this BBS. It is not usual that
you can see the sysop of his board regulary! On some
boards it is hard to reach the sysop... But more about
this later }

This was this editions' issue of the boardguide. Hope-
fully this chapter forfills your imagination. I did it in
this way to prevent objectivity from my side. If any
sysop of any board has got a little story to tell about
his board, do not hestitate! Send it to:
