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."

    I saw the story, read it, and then expected to find what I've come to expect in the discussion-- a bunch of yahoos who hadn't even read that wonderful piece.

    I then I saw the magnificent posts (sorting by highest score) and other stories, and felt like the first time I found /.

    yeah, I'm a little drunk.
