>>19408573>I was never around for BBSs, seemed like a really cool time.>The Gates article is interesting as well. As you said, 40 years later and we're still having the same conversations.i was lucky enough to live with a dad and grandpa that went on them so i got to experience the tail end of it in the 90-00. there's still quite a few that are running or rather re-deployed. really a lost forgotten era. many of the same topics we talk about today i remember reading about them then. from security and privacy, to decentralization, alternate currencies, piracy, everything in between, even Satanists eating children. it's kind of wild desu. i wish we had a whole archive of everything back then. would be so awesome to back reference. plus all the sick old retro art and ansi/ascii art,
