I am so glad my teenage hijinx did not survive the transition to internet and I feel deeply sorry for children today. Sooo much cringe. The inherent locality of BBSes was pretty nice however, sure there were some long distance users but most people on most boards were local. I recently rediscovered this photo where 16 year old me recreated the on-login BBS quote wall by asking BBS friends that came over to sign my wall: https://nt4tn.net/photos/wall.jpg https://nt4tn.net/photos/wall.jpg It's been a few years since I've talked to anyone I knew from the BBSes (moving to the other side of the country no doubt contributed, some of them have died, etc) but they hung on longer than anyone else I knew as a teenager.
