Go here and download SyncTERM. They have versions for all operating systems http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- staticv0id · 2022-06-09 01:08 ACiD and iCE were (are still?) the two big ANSi art collectives. If your board had a login screen from them, you were *legit*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 18pct · 2022-06-09 01:08 K-rad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hedgecore77 · 2022-06-09 12:18 The old DARK packs are still available online if you search for them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hedgecore77 · 2022-06-09 12:20 I had a board called Reflex Point that never went up. All Robotech themed. Hexxed the shit out of Renegade, had original art by Acidic Soap (DARK) and 4thDisciple (DARK), plus a Zentraedi logo lifted from Hallister (ACiD) (4thDisciple got permission from him). It was awesome. You could choose an RDF themed menu or a Zentraedi themed menu. I found a 3.5" floppy that said "RG" on it and almost lost my shit thinking I found my old board. Got a USB floppy drive from work, and the zip was corrupt. Plus I had spanned disks when zipping even thought it only took one, so I had to do a bunch of shit to coax it to unzip. Eventually ran pkzipfix (from muscle memory which was a weird experience), and got back enough of it to realize it was a different board I had some years prior. Part of me still things I have to have that board on an old backup CD somewhere, I should look for it sometime. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hawk_Hubbard · 2022-06-09 13:32 You are correct Sir :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hawk_Hubbard · 2022-06-09 13:40 Wow great post here! Why didn't you ever go live with Reflex Point? Must have been so disheartening to learn the zip was borked on that floppy. Hope you are able to find and recover your board eventually. Good luck mate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hedgecore77 · 2022-06-09 14:40 Never had a second phone line. Being a broke assed teenager in the mid 90s didn't help. It was funny because all of the ANSI guys would ask "this is gonna go live right?" "oh yeah!". My RG skills were up there. ANSI control characters to move the cursor to within a prompt window, hex editing the dat files, all of my ANS files were single character names (plus period and extension) so I could inject the MCI code to display a file (%DF% if I recall!) within the length of the string I was editing.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- legacykrew · 2022-06-09 15:49 They are all on the Sixteen Colors website : [https://16colo.rs](https://16colo.rs). They're all on there for the ones that were archived from back then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- legacykrew · 2022-06-09 15:50 The board accepts NEW users. It's an OPEN system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitter_Art_9293 · 2022-06-09 17:18 My d00ds I have bad karma I started going online in 1982 on QuantumLINK. The Source. And Compuserve now I will admit they were carded accounts as computer security in those days with the phoneman c64 term software only required a 115 IQ. Our black Buddha's group and nepa received many elite greetings. I mentioned ripping roms at Funspot in 1989 before MAMe existed . By what I shocked p/h/a/c/ is dead. All the commie computer users are pearl clutching transgender hacks for the vast machine. 15 years well I guess it's more like 40 years. When did hackers lose there hormones. The woman seem to be more Talented and less politically correct. What happened? Is it political. I tried to change my modem based lingo as I am a Novell network engineer. You'd be surprised how many pos systems run dos 6. I think I made 120,000 bucks in 1999 making dos library and database Y2k compliant they always were it just showed 2002 as 02. Very small auto autoexec and config.sys calls fix it. Why did my information cause such anger. I was on IRC or internet Relay chat in chatsubo from 82 to 88 probably. What happened that people were so angry with me. I thought this key info into the early days the vice, c64, spectrums. Atari 1040xt. Amiga, everything but pcs. Is my language to computer crime related. People threatened me. It wasn't my intent. I haven't chatted since 89 or so. I'm retired now and I built a transfer cable that worked on q980 to 85 really well. I also gotvthe funspot security guard stoned and got 36 great roms. What part are the younger Falken mad about. They called me racist names and I'm Canadian French/Abnaki. It was very confusing as I am not doing anything different then 82. Why are these young guys mean to me. I'm Dovtor Strange of NEPA new England piracy association. Where do they think the mame roms cqme from. If any over 50s could give me a clue I will send 102 toilets to your enemies house. LoL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hedgecore77 · 2022-06-09 17:38 Hey, check this out (I used to go by equinox^): https://16colo.rs/pack/legion05/DIE-RXPT.ANS https://16colo.rs/pack/bj-creep/bj-asc62.ans And the piece de resistance: https://16colo.rs/pack/dark0896/ASOAP-08.DRK Oh, and my ANSI menu (RDF set): https://16colo.rs/pack/echo0197/4THDS-02.ECH Now interestingly enough, looks like there was a board in the 713 area code from 1993 under the same name. Oops! (Mine dates to about '95 / '96 or so.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- edgarecayce · 2022-06-09 19:50 Back in 1991 I ran the Eight Miles High BBS in Los Angeles (213!), and I had this cool animated ANSI login of a little baggie that would unroll, revealing the green and purple nugs within. Wish I still had that file it took me weeks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shifting_colors · 2022-06-09 20:40 I see that now. Sorry, I was a bit confused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hawk_Hubbard · 2022-06-09 21:04 Nice ANSi there! Good groups to be in: Legion and Dark Illustrated ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chamfered_corner · 2022-06-09 21:44 The next copypasta is born...
