Re: Quiet around here. What do you wanna talk about?

Dude, you need to get yourself a hobby.

This is my hobby, or part of it.

The internet itself, isn't just a tool for me, its part of the actual entertainment.

I miss the old days, back when I ran a dialup bbs.

I wasn't into LORD much, but I liked trade wars, and the risk clone, global wars, and the gladiator like game, The Pit.

At my peek, I had 8 lines of goodness, and used a 9th line to connect our chat door Zchat either to IRC, or other boards running Zchat.

Towards the end, we offered email and Usenet groups as well.

I really wanted to become an ISP back then, but dedicated connections were to expensive.

Well, at the end, was around 1995. I ran smaller systems on and off from about 1987 or so.

The 8 line system, email and Usenet was around 1993-1995
