BBS In Hawaii? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Iron_Slug · 2020-10-04 23:06 Are there any active BBSes in Hawaii? Anyone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mauirixxx · 2020-10-05 08:15 Maui checking in here. I’d be super surprised to find anyone in Hawaii running a bbs let alone know what one is :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-10-05 09:31 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2020-10-05 14:48 why would it be odd? its not like Hawaii is "remote" with internet access or anything... Plenty of tech companies there.. plenty Telnet via the internet... I'm sure someone is running one. Likely just not publicizing it... People never stop to think about the PRIVATE bbs scene...Its there and thriving just as it was during the dialup days.. I know for fact that in my state alone there is well more than 3 times the number BBS's running on various platforms than what is listed on "the telnet bbs list"... HUGE numbers overseas too.. Again, not everyone WANTS to be listed... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mauirixxx · 2020-10-05 15:07 I’m aware of the tech running in Hawaii, I live right down the road from a super computer here in Kihei. I’m just saying from my short time living on Maui people mostly don’t care about computers & computing or care just enough to know they have a good one. The anomaly’s I’ve ran into that run servers @ home generally don’t want to talk about it. The few that have talked have so far ran just what they need to have their own personal Netflix at home.... I’d love to be proven wrong and find out we have a thriving underground bbs scene in my state. In the early to mid 90’s Oahu had a solid scene from what I remember. I also learned an expensive lesson in local long distance calling between islands then as a teenager 😳 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2020-10-06 12:48 Things are underground so you DONT find out about them..... Lol.
