I got into BBSing about a Year and a Half ago, when I borrowed my friend's modem to call up lame Public Domain, "No Handles" kind of boards. they were stupid and I didn't enjoy them too much. Then, one day, I got the number to "The City" a 10 line chat board. I was hooked. After that, I found many other boards in the Chicago area that looked snappy and started calling out a lot on a regular basis. At this time I was calling out on my mother's Laptop on a External 2400. Whee. anyways, October rolled around and I got my hands on a Brand spanking new 486. Yeah, I'm a spoiled brat. So what do I do? I start up my own board, what else would a spoiled brat do? However, by this time I was in BBSing with the right state of mind, that a Board should be for Messages and Online games, not for Files. I got my hands on Telegard 2.7, a good starting software. I would call up The Nuclear Greenhouse, one of the chat boards i called, and try to get people to call up my board. No one would, however, except for a certain person in particular, Nyarlathotep. I had seen Neil on "The Halls Of The Video Warrior" which was in fact the board that inspired myself to put on up.. anyways, he'd call up and help me test things out, like the online games and such.. he didn't seem to mind so much, which was cool. My friend Joel, Dark Lord, also helped a bit.. Well, about the time the board actually went up a few months went by, me bugging for a phone line, etc... But it got up, and It's been up a Year now.. In the beginning, on Telegard, The main emphasis was Online Games and Messages. I had a handful of good daily-calling Users, which kept me contempt. Eventually most of the Main Online Game users either stopped calling, or just stopped using them, and we ended up with what has now been a Message oriented BBS for a year. I switched from Telegard to Renegade, and was running that some time under Windows, so I could Multi-Task... my Hard Drive crashed, however, and I quickly re-set up Telegard because I didn't have Renegade backed up.. Well, then I went back to renegade for a while.. Changed to Innovations, being "swayed" by the author at it's features that Renegade didn't have, had my BBS hacked severely by Someone that knew their way around Innovations, and Now I find myself back at Renegade. A good software. "So What, That Tells us Nothing About [MiLK]" You say. Well, ok, back on track then. when I was running Telegard for the first time, I saw someone on the Nuclear Greenhouse going by Guido Sanchez. I pestered them to Call my board. We chatted and talked voice a few times and I found out he was the author of a Text file group, BLaH. well, I read them and was quite impressed. I went and read a bunch-a other Text files, and didn't really find any that made me laugh like a ninny like BLaH did. BLaH inspired me enough to, when me and Guido had a parting of ways, to try to start my own Tfile group. It got too centered around stupid Chat captures, to say the least. The only good spats were by Oregano and Nyar, and Nyar left for college soon after. so that Idea Died. As of Late I've been reading Text files once more, read over some BLaH files again, and again missed the Text file Scene. so here I am. "But WHY [MiLK]?!?!!??!!" You whine. Oh, Yeah. [MiLK]. Well, I've been calling a lot of WaReZ 3l1t3 shit boards as of late, considering the cool PD board is becoming less and less of an item as of late, Favorite boards that have gone down will probably be an issue of mane a [MiLK] file, and I've found that Everyone has their little ANSi group as of late. ACiD. iCE. AXiS. MiC. BaD. BiGFaTaSSeS. iCaMEiNMYPaNTS. etc... the list (LiST.) goes on and on... So I decided to "rebel" against the system and Make the absolute worst ANSi group Possible, [MiLK], and the leader was Grandma. Well, The sillyness of that passed, and I kept making ANSi's and signed them "Grandma [MiLK]"... well, around the same time I started making my own Online Games out of Infoforms and the such, and what a better way to have an ANSi group but make ANSi Online Games! So I made a Few of them... The MiLK Quest Series... MiLK Quest 1 Actually being fairly Impressive considering no programming at all was introduced to the game... But I grew tired of the Online Games, and wanted something more... something like a text file group. So here we are. Hmm, So Let's get a list of Greetings out there, people who I probably wouldn't be trying this stuff again if they weren't around... Lady CatNinja - Started up a board around the same time as me, we did the "Help each other" out thing a lot over the year, till we shall we say... had a parting of ways. Nyarlathotep - Helped me start up Obloid, always has been a great message Poster, hopefully will help with this Text group Oregano - another one of the best posters on Obloid, always has something interesting to say.. Nex - One of the last "Message Based" board sysops out there, makes me sure I'm still running a board for a good reason Guido Sanchez - Author of BLaH, made me look at life a little differently than I did before I met him Constantine - Writer for BLaH, most inspiring Amateur writer I've read Hey, As Long As we're At it, Let's add some ANTI-Greetz in there too! Can't spread anything positive without adding a touch of Negativity! Chuck - Man, You're an asshole. Go take your Racist shit and stick it up... your Guild. WaReZ GeeKs - You ruined a once great Cyberspace. Ok, Not TOO much Negativity though... So what we have here is just another Tfile group trying to make a name for itself... Like [MiLK] or something.

I'll get back to you ASAP with details. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯[MiLK] Information®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®® [MiLK] Sights - The Obloid Sphere (708)965-3098 [MiLK] Member Listing - James Hetfield Nyarlathotep [MiLK] Issue Number - 1 [MiLK] Issue Size - 7344 Bytes [MiLK] Date of Production: 12/27/93 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Happy people are Ignorant People ®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®
