 *Date service discontinued, if known, or best estimate thereof based on 
 repeated "no answer," "phone disconnected" or other indications, including
 caller feedback.

 A few of these discontinued BBSs reportedly moved to other cities.  Most
 simply closed down.  I have never been able to confirm that several of them
 them ever were online, although their names still may still appear on some
 other local boards' BBS lists.

 Information on the fate or current whereabouts of any of these BBSs would be
 appreciated, of course.  I really need help with "date discontinued" on a 
 number of them.  Please let me know of any inaccuracies, too.

 You can reach me at wb@chatter.com (Internet) or as User #1 on The Mezzanine 
 BBS, 817-565-9165. Thanks, as always, for your help in keeping up with this 
 information!

 This list is maintained for historical purposes as a courtesy to the Denton 
 BBSing community. 

 My special thanks go to Derek Wakefield and Roger Etheredge for their contri- 
 butions to this effort.
