RE: The Software Piracy Chronicles of Slobberchops (The THG Years) – Part Three
Your post took me back to my days of running a Citadel BBS in the late 80's prior to the World Wide Web. What really tugged my heart was the screen shot of Prince of Persia. Loved crossing blades with the Fat Man. 😎
You ran a BBS? They were great fun and it was so much more interesting than the now 'everything at your fingertips' internet.
Yeah it's nice to know such tech is still available just in case. We, proudly, could get emails coast to coast on the CitNet, even though it took 2 days to do so. 😎
I was connected to some mail system on The Demon's Forge (forthcoming info), and had to collect it in the form of a data file and import it somehow.
I grabbed the data from MeanMachine's BBS in Buffalo, NY as he was the hub.
I know the PD boards ran on FidoNet or something, but on the pirate system it was OOF-NET (Our Own Fucking Net..)... lol...
Yeah, CitNet would be one Citadel Node calling another in the night with the intent of incurring as few long distance call charges as possible along the route.
