Nostalgia! Ran a BBS from around 1982 (late-night, single line only) to late-1995 (24-hours, multiline ring-down), until I had to shut it down due to life circumstances, the last year or two of my BBS' life even had an internet gateway. Started up a new BBS (internet only) back in 2009 that chugs away quietly in the background and runs on a Raspberry Pi in the corner of my office.
- jhbadger 4y agoYes, my experience with BBSes was in the early 1980s -- I had no idea until reading this article that some lasted into the late 1990s still as dialup, although I had heard of the BBS-over-telnet phenomenon in the 2000s. But I had net access via my university (mostly ftp and Usenet as the Web wasn't yet a thing) since the late 1980s and so left the BBS world early.
