scene of  BBSes premieres LIVE on Friday Aug 27th at 2PM PDT/5PM
EDT/10PM BST:
[youtu.be/z\_heZ-lgzq0](https://youtu.be/z_heZ-lgzq0)
Check  it out, if you want to know where the darkweb came from, how
0-day  warez games got started, how blowing a whistle from a cereal
box gave  you free calls, or how Kim Dotcom came to be. Great
interviews with Dan  Smolders, 'deathr0w' and Shooter Jennings!

I  will be in the live chat on YouTube during the premiere to chat to
you  all, so please join in the fun with me! Depending upon interest,
there  may also be a live stream for discussion after the event. Let
me know if  you are interested in this.

Being an "eLiTe" board sysop in the mid 90's, this will be an exciting
watch! :)

If this doesn't at least touch on the Anarchists Cookbook being
circulated to fellow Edgelord teenagers like myself at the time, I
will be severely disappointed.

Correct. Episode 6 is not far off

antdude · 2021-11-07 23:42

Thanks. I wonder if I can binge watch all previous ones before it.
Hah!

gnu2tux · 2021-11-07 23:50

Yep it's do-able!

I am more amazed that I just discovered about this new BBS documentary
from a newsgroup post. No one was talking about it big like on /. like
when that old BBS Doc. was big news. :(

Yes I'm a bit surprised. I did anticipate a bit more popularity given
that it is made with high production quality, and interviews some of
the most prominent names in the scene. I am always very pleased when
people share it on news sites etc.

I told to my old BBS buds, Blue's News, comp.bbs.misc newsgroup, my
http://aqfl.net, etc. Better late than never. ;)

Thanks! I really appreciate that! I just want to get the message out
there that BBSes are back and the resurgence is cool!
