Comment The BBS Scene .. (Score 2) 137

(read: only moderate this if you know what a BBS is)

Ah, finally an old school story ..

The BBS scene is not totally dead. Darktech.org and dyndns.com host many 2-node telnet BBSes running PCBoard, WWIV, SearchLight, etc. And don't forget the other games -- Studs, BRE and Lord -- people are still playing them; and the more popular MajorMUD for WorldGroup/MBBS. FidoNET and other private messy nets are still alive and rolling.

Can you remember your Fidonet node?
Do you wish you could still code with PCBoard Programming Language?
Ever miss playing with the volume slide on your USR Courier during connects?
Miss using TheDRAW or DuhDRAW?
Wish you could still dial out with QMPro?

If any of your answers were "yes" then you might be a washed-up old school BBSer. Related links:
