Amiga Oasis Online 1998-2002+
Yes its true, Amiga Oasis Online is
now 4 years old, ok so we was not the first and there are plenty of good sites out there
now days, but hey we have had our moments and I hope this section well give you a brief
site history and achievements to date.
1997: In the Begining...
Amiga Oasis Online started out as
Celluar BBS News & Support back in 1997 as a dedicated support and help site for a
popular BBS based in Northampton UK.
The website mainly offered information on
what the BBS contained, how to log onto the BBS, the news echo's it carried etc. The
Website also carried some Amiga news, nothing major, just big news of the month, with
Amiga Downloads and some screenshots of Amiga Games.
Most of the time was spent on promoting the
very popular BBS's Amiga sections, and one of the ways I thought to do this was to be the
offical launch ground for News Magazines.... stuff like Amiga Online HTML magazines were
popular downloads from Aminet, with the fading Amiga print publications I felt this was
the right place to look. But with which one? most were already snapped up, however
I was getting on well with Dave @ Amiga Nutta and he had just launched the Amiga Nutta
Offline mag, bingo..... Dave agreed and we become the launch ground for the ANO mag.
BBS was booming!
However we have no screenshots of the
website from 1997 it was described to me once as a "Vegas Neon Theme" but hey it
was my first site and it worked ;)
