Originally began life on a Commodore Vic-20 in 1983 using modified Electric Magazine basic BBS software which was written and sold for the C=64. Ran Hal's BBS on the 64 for a while and then EBBS on the 128. Moved to my Amiga in 1986 and ran the following different software packages: BBS-PC!, Paragon, Starnet, MEBBSNet and finally Excelsior! Shut down in 1997 and reopened in 2018 using Excelsior! for a short time (has a y2k bug) and then moved to Zeus which it is currrently running. We have weekly chats every Saturday nite at 10pm EST. Join us if you can.
To the best of my knowledge the only running Citadel-86 BBS the world has seen in decades.
I hope to change that.

Running the current version of Centipede BBS on the Commodore 128, 4GB of free disk space, message boards, online games, download/upload areas and connected fast internet connection
Growing up my first BBS in the mid 80's was C-Net 9.6, I then upgraded all the way to C-Net 12.1 and then image 1.2 BBS. After that it was about 26 years later I reconnected with Image BBS 2.0 and then 3.0 which I helped get involved with on the distribution side of the software as you will find a full Download section on here for Image BBS. When the c64u came out I knew we had to get Image 3.0 running on it with full inter BBS networking and it has happened!
This is the first Image 3.0 BBS to run 24/7 on the all new Commodore 64 Ultimate system!
We are fully networked with NISSA for our Message Sub Boards (Forums), our Net Wall (Grafitti Wall)
The BBS is currently running on a Commodore 64 Ultimate, with a piCMD HardDrive (gigz of storage) and a FD-4000 mostly used for our RTC.
This BBS started out as an experiment in Jan 2026 to see how to make the Image BBS run on the Commodore 64 Ultimate. Along the way we found issues with the C64U that Gideon fix promptly and forced the first firmware update for the C64U, fixing a modem issue in the swiftlink. Since one of the developers of Image worked out making the C64U Turbo work correctly with Image BBS and many other little things have been worked out along the way also.
Our newest feature as of the month of August 2026 is the all new piCMD HardDrive by Scott H. This is a game changer for the speed of the BBS!
