Here are some BBSes related to WLUG's history, sorted by opening year:
* __Koinonia__ - 1989-1990 - SysOp: IanMcDonald
** trivia: first 24 hour BBS in Hamilton, first with two phone lines, first to have a reliable FidoNet connection, first to have a HUGE 40 MB hard drive
-* __Wyrms__ (1993-1995?) - Lincard 1000
+* __Genesis__ - 1990? - Sysops: Jeremy Green, David Doggart, BruceKingsbury was passingly involved.
+** was supposed to be the first BBS in Hamilton, hence the name. But Ian got his up first.
+* __~StationMasters__ - 1992-1995? - BruceKingsbury's first BBS
+
* __Wyrms__ (1993-1995?) - Lincard 1000, interesting because it ran on a C-64. Spent it's last few months living in the same room as ~StationMasters since it needed frequent reboots and Lincard 1000 was working during the day.
* __Tower of Z__ (1994-1995? ''must have been longer'') - Richard Gallagher (aka The Green Banana)
** trivia: ToZ was the first BBS in Hamilton to run Renegade BBS Software
* __TheDigitalDream__ (1995-1996) - SysOp: OliverJones (aka Dreamer)
* __[Echoes|EchoesBbs]__ (1996 perhaps?) - GreigMcGill (aka Rider)
+* __Cherrybomb__ 1996-1998? - BruceKingsbury's second significant BBS effort
* __[Toontown]__ (1996-1998) - CraigBox (aka Criggie)
+* __Club Cherrybomb Voicemail__ 1999-2000 - Everyone with a modem had moved on to the Internet, so BruceKingsbury decided to write a BBS for those people _without_ modems. At one time the system was on two lines and regularly answering over 200 calls per day.

-BTW; Global Network is probably not a BBS; it was a node-only in '99 and is already not in this copy of the
list.
