History
BBS Consultants, Inc.
Incorporated
on September 8, 1993 in Durham, North Carolina with Tom Faulkner as president
and founder.
For
the ten years prior to incorporating, Mr. Faulkner did custom programming and
wrote third party software for the dial-up BBS industry. Primarily for the DOS
based TBBS software published by eSoft. Inc.
In the late 80's, a BBS could consist of shared message areas (similar to
newsgroups), file storage and transfer and interactive games. In the 90's when
it became possible for people outside of educational or research facilities to
get a dial-up account via an ISP to connect to the internet, the direct dial-up
industry started to wither due to the lack of a common graphic format and the
aversion people had to paying toll charges to connect. While our TBBS/TDBS add
on programs are still
available on special order, we are working on porting a number of them to the web.
Check the What's New page from time to time for announcements.
Between 1997 and 2001, our
practice was largely limited Lotus Notes, Lotus Domino and Web Development. In
2002, we added web hosting and web design to our service offering.
Code for sale:
We are looking form someone to help us
port Virtual Sysop and/or The Wild Side game programs originally written for TBBS to the web. Or, we would
consider selling the code.
