When Looking At The Southern Ontario
Scene In The Past 5 Years, No One Can
Question That There Has Been A Main
Board Which Has Been Considered The
Hq Of The Scene. A Board Which Has Seen
Users & Groups Come And Go. A Board
Which Has Won The "Underground Bbs
Awards" As Board Of The Year More Times
Then Any Other By Far. A Board Which
Has Kept Up With The Times With New
Mods, Onliners Etc.. These Are All
Signs Of A True Success Story. A
Legend. A Legend That Lives On.
Wizard's Bbs, Fabric Of Time.

{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}
Running On Dmbbs 4.8, This Young
Bbs Was Not Considered A Major Force
On The Scene.. Over+Shadowed By Such
Big Boards As Skylab, And Of Course
The Remaining TGI Boards.
The Commodore Scene Was In A
State Of Change.
The CoSysop At The Time Was
A User By The Alias Of Radon.
5 Years Ago
{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}
Little Change In The Board Had
Taken Place. However, The Popularity
Was Increasing. Dmbbs Was Still A New
System And Had Not Been Completely
Accepted As Of Yet.
4 Years Ago
{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}
Switching To Dmbbs V5.1, The Board
Also Took On More Staff To Control The
Increasing Number Of Callers. This
Is What The Staff Looked Like
Sysop : Wizard
Co Sysop : Nightstalker
UD's : Hot Rod
Kilmar
Messages : Spacecadet
For The Following Year/ Year And A
Half, The Board Started To Take Control
As The Number One Board In The Scene.
What Made It So Good, Was The Fact
That No Other Board Had Ever Been Run
So Smoothly.. The Staff Took Their
Time And Made Sure Everything Worked
And Made Sure It Continued To Work.
2 1/2 Years Ago
{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}
At This Point In Time, The Board
Made Some Major Staff Changes, And
In Came Two Faces Which Would Alter
The Board For The Next Couple Of
Years. At This Point In Time,
Certain Users Tried To Knock The
Board.. These People Included Such
Users As COMFORT Who Used The
Underground News As A Weapon To
Personally Attack Wizard. The Board
Continued To Roll Along, With A Clear
Rating As #1.
Staff: Sysop : Wizard
Co-Sysop : Zapper
UD's : Hot Rod
: Turnip
Messages : Mind Shadow
2 Years Ago
-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}--{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}-{SHIFT-*}
At This Point Minor Changes Were
Made To Adjust To Hot Rods Decreasing
Call Rate, As Well As Zappers. Both
Turnip & Mind Shadow Were Upgraded To
Co-Sysops.
Shortly After This, Changes Were
Made Again.. Turnip Was Named The Only
Co-Sysop.. While Mind Shadow Took Over
His Old Position Of Message Sysop.
Dmode Took Care Of The Mods, While
Guppie Joined Mind Shadow As Message
Sysop. The UD's Were Taken Care Of
By Sticky Fingers And Usagi Yojimbo.
Is By Many Was Considered The Peak
Of The Boards Success. The Staff Was
The Best Ever.
Somewhere During Those 2 Years,
The Bbs Was Moved From Wizards Home
To Turnips. The Number Of The Bbs Was
Also Changed To Its Present Number.
During This Time, FoT Became The Hq
For The Underground News As Past
Battles Were Forgotten.
During This Past Summer, Turnip Was
Replaced As Co-Sysop By Sticky Fingers
And Chromium And Radman Were Added To
To The Staff As Mind Shadow & Dmode
Moved On.

In Recent Times, FoT Bbs Has Been
The Host Of Many Different Bbs Meets
(Swap-o-rama). During The Last Few
Months, RAW-Bbs Systems Has Been Added
To The Board. Currently They Are
Working On Perfecting The System, And
So Far They Are Fairly Successful.
Currently The Bbs Is Running On 2oo+
Megs Of Power. With Dirs For 64,IBM
And Also Amiga Wares.
The Question Which Burns The Thoughts
Of Many Is "What Makes The Bbs So
Successful?!". The Answer Is Very
Simple.. Wizard. As Sysop Of The Bbs
He Takes A Completely Different Role
Then Any Other Sysop. He Does The Work
Behind The Scene, Rarely Posts On His
Board.. And Simply Lets His Assn'ts
Do Their Job. As Turnip Told The
Underground News:
"The Sysops Are Generally Autonomous,
Unless They Really Do Something
Stupid, Wizard Lets The Sysops Run
Their Secions Without Hassle."
Wizard Is The Type Of Person Who
Will Help Those Who Need It.. Example
Lord Godwin Back In '91. Lord Godwin
Was In The Process Of Putting Up A
Dmbbs Board, Wizard Took A Whole Day
And They Worked Together From Early
Till Late Putting Everything Together.
Another Name Which Played A Major
Role In The Bbs, Is Shadowpawn. He
Has Never Been Sysop, Or Even Co,
But Has Always Been Incharge Of All
The ML Programming Of The Board.
According To Turnip "He & Wiz Do Most
Of The Behind The Scenes Work And The
Co-Sysops Tended To Do The Actual Day
To Day Running Of The Board."
Understanding That The Staff Of FoT
And The Underground Crew Have Not Al-
ways Seen Eye To Eye, I Can Proudly
Thank The FoT Staff For Their Out-
Staning Work. The Scene Would Never
Have Been The Scene Without Them.

Answer to often asked questions:
1> yes Guppie is a female.
2> What and Why is RAW.
RAW is a new BBS program. It uses DM5
as it's launch point and from there
throws out sections that are inferior
and replaces with either new sections
or adaptions of other programs. The
message editor will be very color64
like in the future <faster though> and
there are certain routines from Cbase
that will be altered to fit.
RAW is being programmed because Wiz
and Shadowpawn feel like it. Turnip
handles minor modules, spelling, dox
typing and shit like that <Secretary
in other words hehe>.
The estimated selling price of RAW
will be in the $10-$15 range. It is a
non-profit venture and whatever it
costs us to photocopy the dox, copy to
disks and add labels and a box will be
the cost.
RAW will not include DMBBS copyrighted
modules, but if you have a registered
DM5 program, we will supply you with
RAW accessible versions of your DM
modules.

Overall, I think this has been one
of the better issues we've put out..
I apologize for the delay, but things
just seem to fuck up at the last minute
as other editors can probably relate
to.. grin!
But I would like to thank Carcass
for their support, and general interest
in the Ug.. Other than that, I hope
everyone has had a good March break,
and I'll see ya all next month!
Latez!
