   There was an RBBS board that ran in Louisville for several years in the   
   1980's/90's.  It was called Deckmann's Exchange.  As a caller, I liked that   
   software.  He eventually switched over to GT Power, which is the same   
   software I ran back then (and still do).

   Sounds like a Commodore board, from the description.  There were a lot of   
   300 and 1200 baud Commodore boards in Louisville for a time.  I never had   
   any issues with other sysops not wanting BBS ads posted, though, just as   
   long as I put them in the correct message areas.  :)
