Remembering the BBS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the back-in-the-day dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Nice reminiscence about BBS's, back in the day and all. Author describes them as "Where a teenage loser could lose himself", which for me would have been pretty accurate. I still miss being able to find cool ASCII graphics, text-based RPG's, and the Anarchist's Cookbook all in one place."

    Usually I would simply ignore a post like this; the idiocy and the base humor simply don't spark an interest long enough for me to form a thought about it.

    However, I'm feeling frisky, and this one is fun.

    Let's start with your title::
    Homosexual fagots

    Is this some insane double-negative of sexuality? Gay people who are so gay that they became straight again? Homosexual and fagots pretty much infer the same thing. But if I were you, i'd stick to using the first word, or perhaps "Yes, Sir."

    Your Statement:
    Linux is great!!!!!!!

    Hmmmm. Obviously this is some ploy to encroach yourself within the community, build a sense of "trust" if you will, so that a similarly minded uber-geek would consider your title more seriously, and be misled to think that such "mega-gays," these "Homosexual fagots" actually exist.

    Good ploy sir. Well played. You almost got me. But rest assured that your veil of coolness and "hipness" will wear thin; you will then be reduced to a -2, ne'er to be seen by any human eye, save your own.

    Good day sir.
