OP created a really neat app but I agree with all your dates. I got my first modem in 1985 and started running my own BBS in 1986. By 1992 I lost interest in the BBS world and moved onto the Internet.
By 1995 I had a permanently on ISDN 128 Kbps line. My ISP even gave me my own public Class C netblock with that line!
- kazinator 7y agoYou could almost be me. I got my first modem in 1983. 300bps, like your nick says. I ran self-written BBS in 1985, and then a rewrite in 1986-1987. By 1992 I was in computer science. I poked into BBSes here and there. There was still some activity, but not like before. It was fewer hobbyists and more businesses (like computer stores) running those things. People dialing up to big services like AOL was still a thing.
