I'm a total noob to BBS.  Back in the day, I imagine this was a thriving community.  How did people find or search for BBS's in their area?  Was it word of mouth or?


Back in the day there were a number of ways we got hold of local BBSs. Usually local Universities and computer shops hosted one. From there you could often find text file BBS lists. Then there was also war dialing...
