The good old days, I ran a 12 node bbs running PCBoard software, spent all my time branding my bbs number on dirty pictures and uploading them to Rusty and Eddies bbs for viral marketing.
At its peak the bbs ran on 6 386's running desqview so you could run 2 nodes on each box, 3 486's with a 2500 meg drive in each one which cost a buck a meg.
Made pretty good money for a hobbie, charged by the month and all nodes were always full
