Night Owl/Frontline BBS
Managed by Mark A Janelle of Barracuda fame, the Night Owl BBS served as the semi-official Game-Maker community hub. Every copy of Game-Maker included a leaflet for the BBS.
After some recent discussions, I seem to recall some widespread connection issues. Either the BBS was only up during evening hours (as the name would suggest) or the number on the leaflet was incorrect. Either way, many people had trouble logging in. When one did log in, the place was a bit stiff and, again, serious. And being hosted in Kennebunkport, Maine, it was a hefty long-distance charge for almost anyone -- even those who lived in-state, as I did. Still, it was a good place to make connections and branch off to other sub-communities and smaller BBSes.
As for why the name change, I can't quite remember. The Night Owl BBS may have changed names, or the Game-Maker section may have moved over to another board.
