Hey! Happy to see there is still a community on active BBS(s)
Really loved downloading the latest shareware games from different
bbs(s) when I was a kid Looking forward to more lerking and hunting on
all these amazing BBS(s)
I used to spend HOURS every day calling many different bbs's just to get
the latest shareware games and follow up with all my messages.
i had a blast doing it....
Ahh, the good old daze! I, too -- I mostly liked te messaging aspects, & the camaraderie in the LORD games (was as close to the old text adventure games I ever found)
I called 10+ boards/day in my heyday, all local, as they began dying out post-Y2K, I branched out & called several other DOS-based boards LD. At one point I was putting in 6,000 minutes/month of long distance modem calls!
I'm still RL friends with a couple sysops!
I realized I was sick of facebook a little while ago, & missing the easygoing chat/fun of BBSing & Fidonet, so talked to my one sysop mate about
reconecting my old point, but he's bee out of the loop for a while,so
referred me to the sysop of the taglined BBS below; I'm out of the loop, too, as I'm unable to get my point setup working. . .
I helped plan a big meetup/party at one point, for a multinode BBS I was on. Great fun, including a massive water fight!
Did smaller GTGs at local bars, too. . . ahh, the good ol' pre-internet days.
. . I still miss them.
I still have my trusty old DOS IBM 486 ready to be plugged in & reconnect to the BBSes still accepting dialup!
I'm in a sub-burp of Vancouver, Canada. . where's you?
Your friend,
