WOW could they crank out the ANSI art!
FidoNet was awesome. Definitely the civilian precursor to the internet. Remember when you could first get email addresses through BBS's and the addresses were always like "[email protected]"
Looking back, that sucked. It was fun at the time, though.
Satellite BBS's kicked ass. Every twenty minutes you could do a search and find new files.

ACiD is actually still around... They even have an FTP server up with the old school art packs all the way back until 1990..

I used to run a Renegade BBS for like 3 years in south florida, with 300+ members and tons of warez & porn. We'd have some big parties and get togethers, I'd say everyone was pretty much in high school, with the occasional old guy freak in the mix.
I still remember laying in bed, and never being able to get much sleep cause every time I heard that click of the modem I had to jump out of bed to see who was logging on... damn those were the days...
