FidoNet & PC-Relay were pretty fanfastic. For the time, obv.

- icedchai 4mo agoI loved that era. I was a BBSer from about 1988 through 1994 or so, on several systems with FidoNet and RelayNet / RIME. I also ran my own BBS for a while, eventually it had some Usenet newsgroups and Internet email through UUCP (anyone remember bang paths?) What I miss most is the local community aspect. In my teens and early 20's I met several friends through BBSes.
