The BBS documentary is a virtual park bench waiting for people who want to reminisce about the good old days of FIDO, 9600 baud, zmodem. /. had an earlier post from Jason about textfiles.com, now he's looking for a few of the million stories in the naked net."

    The following BBS software was for faggots:
    TriBBS
    WWIV
    Wildcat
    Anything that used a propriatary RIP interface (jeez, remember RIP?)
    Renegade (hello backdoors!)
    VBBS
    Iniquity (even more back doors!)

    The following BBS software was elite:
    PCBoard
    That is all.

    All the big warez HQ's used PCBoard. PCB was for files, not for stupid things like messages. Who gives a rats ass about messages when you're a warez courier at 14.4.
