I remember seeing ads for this BBS in "Boardwatch" magazine, back in the day (early to mid 90's.) I was really into the BBS scene but didn't do much long distance calling.
We had several local warez boards, many of which masqueraded as more legitimate operations. Typically you registered with a regular account, then sent the sysop a private message that so-and-so referred you and mentioned the warez.
I ran a BBS myself but was more into the H/P scene.

- Dracophoenix 5y agoYou weren't a member of Plovernet or CDC were you?
- icedchai 5y agoI was not. I read a ton of CDC text files though!
- Dracophoenix 5y agoDid you ever do any phracking yourself? Do fall into the warez scene?
- icedchai 5y agoI did some hacking, yes. Local universities were like swiss cheese in the 90's. I needed free internet access, and they were a good way to get it.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoWhat exactly was on the internet pre-WWW that people were willing to hack for? Ftp servers? Or something else?
- icedchai 5y agoIRC. Gopher. FTP. It was "elite" just to be on. Also it was something to do after school!
