        Oh yeah! I remember the first FULL COLOR bbs I dialed up and the creative use of color ascii characters to make menus and boarders and such...

        The only time you see that now is in the .nfo files for warez.

          O yes.... The good ol days!

          I ran an Atari 800 BBS maxed out with 8 Floppy Drives.
          I wrote the Platinum BBS software...

          Anyone remember Robin Hood and The Sherwood Forest BBS?
          Featured in Time Magazine...

                    Damn.. I go to dinner and come back
                    more posts and memories

                    I wish I did not trade my Commodore 64, I had
                    some cool ass games for it back in the day.

                    Anyone have the Commodore Plus 4 ?

                    That was one shitty computer with next to no
                    software available.

                          Indeed. But you know what, at the end of the day, that was still cool stuff at the time.

                          Everything is relative.

                          Intel announced recently by 2007 the CPU's in PC's will be running at 20 Gigahertz, about 7 time's today's fastest ones.

                          Imagine in the year 3,000 our descendents will be laughing at us saying can you believe all these geeks thought they were speed demons surfing the Net at 1 Mbs. They'll probably be at 100 Gbs.

                              I always wanted to be a sysop. But my parents wouldn't let me

                              So I just installed LORD on my computer and played alone.

                                There was enough room on the floppy for oh..about 25 messages and then they all scrolled off.

                                And that was at 300 baud. Then came 1200 baud, then 2400, and THEN 9600!! Hayes modems! Fnet! And the best game ever..M.U.L.E.
                                I STILL play M.U.L.E. That was my favorite game ever!

                                  Your Commodore wasn't shit if you didn't have the Turbo Booster Cartridge you slipped into the back!

                                  Got a Vic20 and then they sold me on the 64 because they had the print out of TutenKaman (that Pharoah dude) in all gold and done digitally. They said that you could replicate that on your 64 although I never figured out how to.

                                              Yep. I used to run some WWIV boards back in 1986.

                                                I was a sysop of a two line waffle BBS called Heart of Gold from 90 to 93, when the whole bbs scene pretty much collapsed. Of course, there were about 10 "Heart of Golds". Because of waffle I had a usenet feed and true internet email when a lot of bulletin boards were using more specialized bbs software.

                                                I didn't name it, I inherited it from someone else.

                                                Just fuckin' fine old times.

                                                  ha, the old days, I used to run a 10 node pc board software bbs and used to feed the newgroups to my bbs members via a shell account at netcom, was one of netcoms fiirst customers, was fun stuff back then

                                                  “Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” ― Omar Bradley (1948)

We had these autodialers that would call up the long distance services and just brute force calling card codes all night... in the morning we'd have like 15 fresh codes for reaching all the good long distance and international BBSs.
                                                    I never did any of the hard stuff, but I was once given an international 0014 freecall number (free if dialled from Australia) that presented you with a USA dialtone. No access codes at all, and no charge for the AU-USA leg on my bill. I used it a few times but then I figured it was too good to be true... I heard later it was some sort of sting by the Australian feds.
