Hi, sextoyking,
Yep, I guess I am an old-timer when it comes to the BBS scene. I remember wher 9600 baud modems were brand new and even with the "webmaster discount" USR offered, they cost like $1,800!

I remember Major BBS. It wasn't my favorite software, but it was widespread. The first BBS I ever got on ran Wildcat! and I remember the days of "elite" boards with quizzes like "What do these mean: FLIGHT, THP, FiRM" so you could get access to the "special" areas

BBS's were somehow cooler than the internet. Not as much information at your fingertips but a much stronger sense of community because most of the people on any given BBS lived withint 1/2 hour of you. We had picnics, parties, everything. Sadly, they seem to be pretty much gone

Oh, well, they kicked ass while they were here.
