    who?

    oh i was wrong, it was a few years ago.

    korombos was a big bbs guy;he was involved in a lot of stuff.

    Sysops that got involved in bbsing when it was dead in the telnet age probably won't know who it is.

    He made the sharkware stuff, sharkdriver, lord igms and worked on a bbs software i'm pretty sure.

    Something happened where he tried to kill his family and had a big police standoff and another prominent bbs guy at the time got him to turn himself in
    at his home.


    Matt Munsen might know more, but there were rumors, too.

    oh you probably know of the galaxy 5 doorgame; he bought the rights.

    he has all of devon brook's bbs software and doorgame rights
    vampire knights doorgame.



    here's his old website https://web.archive.org/web/20010305193153/http://sharkware.korombos.org/

    Ah, I hadn't heard about him.

    Sysops that got involved in bbsing when it was dead in the telnet age probably won't know who it is.

    I was into bbsing quite a bit before the telnet age but still don't remember the history here. But I was much more of an artscene guy back then.

    Something happened where he tried to kill his family and had a big police standoff and another prominent bbs guy at the time got him to turn
    himself in at his home.

    Holy hell.

    it must have been pretty bad because he did 99.9% of the time.
