"I remember setting up a BBS several years after becoming a user,
before the internet was made widely available (in fact, back when
HTTP was still being developed). I was 16 at the time and ran the
BBS out of my allowance at first, and then the funds from my first
job on a hand-me-down 286 with a 1200 baud modem. Over the years,
I upgraded it to a 486 with a 9600 vbis/etc modem and connected to
WWIVnet and WWivLink and a local network whose name I forget. We
even lived through the 209/559 area code split. As the internet
became available, users stopped flocking to the BBSs and instead
went online. We lost something in the conversion from BBSs to the
internet that we won't easily get back, as the internet is too big
and too diverse to accommodate that community feeling. I miss my
friends from those days, the pizza parties, the conversations. If
any of my old friends visit textfiles.com and see this, know that
I'm thinking of you." - Dixie Flatline
