potentially stupid question: is there still a BBS active for the LGBT community? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9600bps · 2015-08-23 15:00 Are you thinking of any boards in particular? Or just a general- interest system for LGBT folks? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-23 15:02 more general interest for LGBT people, but LGBT gamers if possible. both would help. I've tried the indexes and google, but nothing seems to come up ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BeeKayPea · 2015-08-23 22:10 There is one system out there that appears to be for folks from the Los Angeles area. I have never connected to it or used it but I was able to find it on Google. You can see info on the system at http://delosnet.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-23 22:25 thank you so much ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2015-08-24 03:44 Although my board is not gay specific - I'm gay and I have a gay message area for the DC area on my board, although I have to admit it's only seen a few messages. I also have the archive of QRD.org on my board in the g-files section. I have been toying with the idea of starting a LGBT network for messages and games - but just not sure if there is a need for it - the BBS community is pretty small as it is. Check it out. :) capitolshrill.com :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-24 03:46 I think I'm registered on there, or was at some point. heh ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2015-08-24 04:06 Excellent. Come by and say hello. :) If it's been a few months since you logged in I've had some new art and menus added. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-24 04:16 It appears so, heh, the verification email has been sent but I can't find it >_< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2015-08-24 17:12 I got your new request and you're all validated. The QRD text files are in the g-files (g from the main menu) although I haven't gotten around to adding that to the menu yet - I just added them over the weekend. Also adding some things from textfiles.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2015-08-24 17:14 This reminds me, I actually originally put my board back up as queer and loathing - but later changed it to capital shrill so I could have a more local/dc focus. I've been toying with a few boards, maybe queer and loathing will return. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-25 00:28 > Queer and loathing ~~Angry gays with a message board watch out!~~ Suggestion for a subtitle: We're queer, we're here and we're tired of your shit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- diogenic · 2015-08-25 23:39 Guessing you're from MN? Were you active in the BBS scene in the 90s? *wave* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-25 23:45 Nope, I'm only 21 (1994 baby) so I wouldn't have been old enough for that, sadly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- diogenic · 2015-08-25 23:58 Ah, bummer! Hope you find the right BBS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MinneBrota · 2015-08-26 00:02 I did, 2 in fact. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9600bps · 2015-08-27 18:33 What an amazing system. Thank you for sharing the link! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9600bps · 2015-08-27 18:44 Incredible ANSIs of the Mall! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2015-08-27 19:15 Thanks!
