The BBS Documentary: A One Year Report

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the doing-things-thoroughly dept.

Jason Scott writes: "Readers of Slashdot might remember some stories posted about a BBS Documentary that was being filmed. Well, we're at about a year of production and I've released a status report about the project, including some pictures, some statistics (over 120 hours of footage have been filmed!) and some information about where the project is heading. If you remember reading about it last year and are wondering what's up with it, check it out."

  2. BBS advice line... by weave · · Score: 4, Funny
    I remember reading a BBS advice line in a text file where people (fake or whatever, didn't matter) would write in for advice. One particular memorable one was (remember, this was before AIDS):

    Q: I met a girl on this BBS and we are going to meet in person. She told me that she had TB or VD, but I can't remember which. What should I do?

    A: If she coughs, fuck her.
