   Blue Board BBS Software - Martin Sikes -

   I have been looking for quite some time now for the BBS Software, BlueBoard.   
   Blue Board was written in 1985 by Martin Sikes and was popular in the British   
   Vancouver area. It was marketed and sold by a company and supposedly sold well   
   - and was also    
   pirated quite extensively - meaning this software wasn't some unknown thing   
   that ran on a single BBS. It was popular.   
      
   I have found one guy on a BC commodore BBS users group who has a physical copy   
   (he sent me pics of the binder and disk) but bit rot has taken the disk and he   
   cannot even read it used Kryoflux. He is going to try and clean the disk with   
   alcohol but I'm    
   not terribly confident it is going to work.   
      
   That all being said I just thought I would post a note here on the off chance   
   that someone might stumble across it who perhaps has a D64 or a working disk   
   of the software.   
      
   I also run http://www.blueboardbbs.com in support of my endeavor and will have   
   the software up for all to access once I find a copy.   
      
   Martin died an untimely death not too long after the BBS software was popular   
   and I think he would like to see that he was remembered and that he left   
   something behind that made people happy.. I hope to help!!!   
      
   Thanks - lucidphreak
