Tulsa Now Forum

[Conan71]

Is it my imagination, or did this forum suddenly become a much better place the last few days?  More local topics, less in-fighting, and a respectful tone all the way around.

In 1994 my phone# was NCC-1701
I invite anyone to try and beat that.

If you were a real trekkie you would have never given it up

Trekkers are the d-bags of Trek fandom. Trekkies are the real fans.

Out of curiosity I did a reverse lookup on that number.  To my shock it pulled up my ex fiance's name.

It's your imagination.

You missing that "F-You" PM?  I'm happy to oblige you Lucas-spooner.

Wow, I wonder why that is?...

I moved out of SWBELL into GTE territory and you couldn't take numbers with you back then. I did turned the number over to a Star Trek based BBS though.

Really? Never saw it on the local BBS lists.  Too bad, I would have been all over it.  Still, a true trekkie would have refused to move so that they could keep the trektastic number.

IIRC, Eastland was started around 1972 and the project was abandoned before construction started on Woodland.  Population growth was much slower than expected toward that part of Tulsa was what I was always told.  I think they finally did finish it around '86 or '88.  It's entirely possible I could be off by three or four years, but I was thinking the mechanical equipment was dated around 1972.  I was surprised at the lack of reliable info on it when I Googled it.  Anyone else know anything for certain.

Eastland Mall opened in 1984. I was still living in Tulsa at that time, but moved away later that year, and I remember going to it when it first opened so it had to be 1984.

Neutral Zone BBS

And at 17, I had little say in the matter.

lol did I mention that I moved out when I ws 17?  Okay, so I was a rebelious geek.  I don't remember the name but lord, that was how many years ago?  But then this was also about two years before I had a computer setup to really get into BBS's, so it might have went to the wayside by the time I got involved.

Hey! I remember seeing that on a BBS list back when I was young and living in Arkansas. Probably never called it, though. Long distance was expensive.

Hmm, from textfiles.com:

918-622-1701
TULSA, OK    The Undiscovered Country, Tulsa Area, Tulsa Hub A
(1995-1997)    Ed Grinnell   

Looks like somebody got some use from it.

Hmm.. I think I got my trek BBS's backwards.

I helped a friend run "The Dugout" and had my first ever chat session (which got uncomfortable) on "The Looking Glass"

I remember "The Looking Glass".
