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.

Dirty D · 05-05-2004, 08:02 PM

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...

Now I am a pornographer!

Those were the days..

For those who don't know (newbies ), SYSOP was the original
name before the Internet = WEBMASTER

So, SYSOP = WEBMASTER!

(system operator)

I ran a few WWIV and Renegade boards way back in the day

Illicit · 05-05-2004, 08:09 PM

Oh yes ! I ran the Stealth BBS

Ran a few types of boards, renegade, tag, and some other one... always had to be installing the games

Watched WarGames one too many times, eh?

"HELLO ... DOCTOR.... FALKEN.... SHALL ..WE.. PLAY.. A .. GAME?"

J.R. · 05-05-2004, 08:25 PM

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.

Jaden · 05-05-2004, 08:44 PM

And I remember when I found the Liquid Sky BBS and how great it was to have an all over 18 board to play on. LOL...all of this makes me feel waaaaaay old

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.

venus · 05-05-2004, 09:18 PM

I had a BBS back in the early 90's, used proboard BBS software, lightning heart BBS, named it after the tattoo I have on my ass.

psyko514 · 05-05-2004, 09:21 PM

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!

Rob · 05-05-2004, 09:24 PM

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.

Sarah, I hear you. I loved that part of L.O.R.D.

How about Pimpwars? That was fun too.

I remember the first time someone told me about the internet.. it was like 1991 or so.. I was like.. yer full of shit.. there isn't 10,000 people on some server chatting! (IRC)

haha.. got my first dialup account in late 1993/ or early 1994 and I have been hooked ever since.

WarChild · 05-05-2004, 09:26 PM

Applecat modem and "phreaking"

Anyone else do that?

Rictor · 05-05-2004, 09:27 PM

$5 submissions · 05-05-2004, 09:33 PM

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

Bill8 · 05-05-2004, 10:26 PM

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.

Nasty · 05-05-2004, 10:40 PM

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

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.
