Telnet to bbs.junglebbs.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- YserviusPalacost · 2023-04-06 12:09 Ahhh.... The good 'ole days, when just mentioning "being online" or "logging on" was a surefire way to never get laid... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-04-06 14:53 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aplos9 · 2023-04-06 17:07 "It's been said of us that we're a cult, and it is something like that." Lol, we get enough bad press Barbara! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReallyBigSchu · 2023-04-06 17:34 I had a Major BBS in NJ at that time as well, and I do remember calling the Jungle... also an MBBS. Good times back then! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SqualorTrawler · 2023-04-06 17:36 [You might wanna have a look](https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/jungle-bbs/) at this, if you're not already aware. In terms of releasing it, you're not the first person to go looking for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanatos0967 · 2023-04-06 20:16 What part of NJ were you in? During those days, I could only call around my local area without my parents getting charged or my ass beat!! :-) ​ I also used to run a BBS back in the mid-80s... about 8 years before that article even came out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dialsoft · 2023-04-06 20:50 Ive tried to get them to release STS. I know the dudes and they know me but wont respond. The only STS left online is mine. telnet to [junglebbs.com](https://junglebbs.com) or in the browser. If you had an account its probably still there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 · 2023-04-07 00:05 Back when being online was calling your local BBS. I remember those days. Started my BBS in those days, had a ton of users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-04-07 01:19 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution-Radiant · 2023-04-07 02:21 I took over maintaining the BBS list in the El Paso Times briefly - got published weekly for a bit. I don't know where to find a digital copy, but I think I have a paper copy of one of them... somewhere - if I can find it, I'll scan it and throw it in here. And of course I maintained an electronic list, [there's a couple of copies on textfiles.](http://www.textfiles.com/bbs/BBSLISTS/915_0395.lst) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-04-07 02:40 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReallyBigSchu · 2023-04-07 13:03 I was in the Morristown area for a while and then move up into Sussex County. My board was alive for a short time in Morristown, and when I moved, I added a few lines as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanatos0967 · 2023-04-07 14:57 Depending on the time frame you were active in Morristown, I may have dialed into you. ​ Those were the days!
