Going Back To The Past of the Internet

Free speech, free information are the key features, but I wonder if this is jsut another free DDoS drone as well."

  1. Wonderful times... by dciman · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ahhhh... reminds me of dialing into various BBS's that I could get numbers for on my 8088 (When my parents had went to bed and I sneaked back down to the computer) Or making the long distance call to the nearest CompuServe node and racking up enormous phone bills (the enjoyment wasn't worth the punishment I got from my parents in return though:) )

    But seriously... I loved those times... logging onto servers that you had little clue about.. seeing what was there... who was there... etc.

    This seems like a good project to play around with.
