   I contacted Tom, here is his reply:

   Nope.  Never on Fido, always GT.   
      
   There were a couple of Fido/GT bridge nodes.   
   Those nodes had both nodelists to operate and I would guess   
   that most of them made the nodelists available on both sides.   
   That might be where he saw The Volunteer BBS.   
   It is also possible that there may have been a BBS somewhere on Fido   
   with a similar name, although I never heard of one.

   Not that I know of.

   Which BBS was that?   
   If it was after 2003 it wasn't Toms BBS.

   When I finally gave up in 2003, The Volunteer BBS was one of only   
   a handful of boards left in the state. It was 'the oldest continuously   
   operating BBS in the Louisville area' for quite a while before I   
   finally took the board down.   
      
   But, back to the point, quite a few people downloaded some or all the   
   files over the years but I don't know of anyone who made them available   
   anywhere else. Someone may have, but I don't recall anyone ever saying   
   anything about it.
