I was an ASCII artist for awhile, and ran a few different bbs' in the ANSI/ASCII Art scene. I was also a co-sysop for a couple different big multi-phone line san diego based bbs's. This was all when I was a 14-15 years old. Long before I ever made it to the net.
The first time I heard of the "world wide web" was on a big San Diego BBS, that had a World Wide Web email portal.
Then of course, my first email account was a Dialup Juno account, awhile before I ever got my first dialup internet account.
I think I ended up using AOL before getting a regular Dialup Account though. Just on their trial basis.
L.O.R.D. was one of the best ANSI games ever .. My friend still runs his board over telnet, mostly just for old friends to play LORD.
