It's funny, I saw this thread, clicked play, and thought 'i'll post how old I was in 1981'. Stupid minds think alike I guess.

I wonder if the content of the early BBSes was as redundant as today´s blog drivel. I somehow imagine it to have been more valuable due to the restricted user base, now every common otto is his own sysop.
Before the internet I frequented a small number of boards with geek stuff, and pron/warez and ansi art packs. I could never dial cross-atlantic because of the phone rates. one hears it was a little bit more diversified in the US, they say there were over 200,000 boards at the end of the nineties?
- ansi art packs? were you in any groups? I was in Dark, Ice, Acid and Legend... good ol' days.zarkonite
- no, never produced somehting significant in ansi. but I digged the art scene, still do.********
- acid, ice. those were my heros!********
