Subj : Re: The Documentary... To : alt.bbs.synchronet From : Sinister x Date : Sun Jul 31 2005 07:03 pm From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet You think that was a great documentary? I thought it had a lot of defeatist attitudes towards BBSing and a lot of people pining over the 300 baud days and pay-for BBS's acting like a bunch of vietnam vets... The ansi scene part really pissed me off as well as it was only the views of people who had come and gone in the ansi scene, not from any of the people who still do it b/c they enjoy it and aren't into all of the politics that existed before. We've got the technology nowadays to do tons more than we ever thought possible when dial-up was the only option.
