BBS = Bulletin Board Systems? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 14:45 So anyone remember the old days with dial-up modems and bulletin board systems? Is this what this Reddit supposed to be about? ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 15:12 Auto Sensing... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 16:07 ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 16:14 First line of MajorBBS/Worldgroup connection sequence :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tribute · 2011-07-03 16:17 The "auto sensing" comment was about when you first logged on certain software (Proboard, Major, RemoteAccess, etc) would detect if you had ascii, ansi, avitar or rip graphics. I'm not sure what the original mod had in mind for r/bbs, but I've been trying to take the channel over and make it about old school BBSes for sometime with no luck for at least six months. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 16:46 Oh yes! I remeber that after CONNECT line from dial-up modems. The good old days! :) Yeah, BBS has no description. So, we should make it for old bulletin board systems. ;) Are there other active people in here beside us? :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 16:47 Oh yes! I remeber that after CONNECT line from dial-up modems. The good old days! :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tribute · 2011-07-03 16:52 I don't know how many active people are in the sub, but I think if someone took it over it could become a healthy niche subreddit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tribute · 2011-07-03 16:55 ... oh and if you want you could head over to /r/redditrequest and upvote my request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 16:56 Hell yes. Followed by (N)onstop, (Q)uit, (C)ontinue? Then on to TradeWars2002 and MajorMUD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 19:17 ROFL. Good old games. You forgot Legend of the Red Dragon. :D I never got into TW. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 19:19 And Kyrindia! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 19:21 Voted and commented.

We need to bring back BBS'. [grin] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 19:26 I don't remember that one.

I forgot what that was even called. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tribute · 2011-07-03 19:32 I did that. The brackets. The adults used <>'s and I had to be different. I'M A SNOWFLAKE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 19:39 SirDOOM on MajorBBS? Fun times. I remember my local BBS buddies and I made a DOOM 2 mod based on a BBS theme: http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/files/doom2/j2doom/j2doom.html ... I even have video recordings of us playing in DOOM 2. We even got Kali to work through MajorBBS to play some games like Descent 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 19:47 Holy shit Kali. Havent heard that in AGES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 19:51 It's still around, but not active like it used to be: http://www.kali.net/ ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Inane_BS_To_Follow · 2011-07-03 19:56 Love the 'Game Connection' in doom screenshot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2011-07-03 23:51 :)
