I wonder why they aren’t even posting his stupid statements there. I suppose it may be because there isn’t a big enough audience. I’m only number 311k and I still gots bupkis.

The way it was supposed to be??? Back in the days it essentially started as a mail service to keep researchers in touch. DARPA! So Nunes is now the new postmaster of the interwebs?

It wasn't DARPA, it was colleges and universities (which Rethuglicans love to hate on) who built this out to the masses -- above was my introduction.

Funny thing, in my early days of playing around the internet, there were people called mods or sysops on the various BBS to moderate discussions and boot those who played badly. Of course, they have already stated that they will limit discussion. What a f****** liar.

I was a mod at FDL for a couple years. We would occasionally step in to cool tempers or toss trolls. Jane had only two verboten subjects: Israel and Israel. We tried to let discussions happen but within minutes they turned very nasty. We wanted discussion not war.

Same. Only 4 lines, though. In Gainesville, Florida. In fact, some of my hijinx were immortalized in a (now mostly forgotten) series of BBS-based parody fiction known as 'The DEAD Docs'. My character was literally named 'SysOp' in the first couple of installments.neonzx wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:29 pmnorthland10 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:23 pm Funny thing, in my early days of playing around the internet, there were people called mods or sysops on the various BBS to moderate discussions and boot those who played badly.

My BBS so I paid all the bills.(8 phone lines) and all the hardware. My board, my rules.

Im assuming FDL is FireDogLake -- which was really good. But that wasn't a BBS however it was early infancy of the WWW.Phoenix520 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:48 pm I was a mod at FDL for a couple years.

BBS's were different because everyone was local -- dial-up modems, no long distance charges. And on mine, no fake names (even I used my real name). I confirmed everyone. And it self-policed mostly.
Not that I didn't encounter a share of occasional drama, including a murder-suicide I was involved in -- but I'm not going to share that here. Maybe I will stop in at the Zoom meet-up.

Was Compass Rose a BBS? That’s the one I have (limited) experience with.
During the pre-BBS time I was working at Western Union, who had just bought the Mail-o-gram company I worked at, Xonics, a tiny company where everyone essentially could do any job (except programming).

When I was in high school, I knew someone who was murdered. All these years later, it always shocks me that I did, but I guess it's not really super unusual.

In the summer between 3rd and 4th grade, a girl in my class was hiking with her family and fell to her death. I had experience with death, but it was all removed, my parents' friends, a distant grandparent, etc. It was my first real experience with the death of someone I personally knew as a peer. It affected me profoundly. It still does.

My college roommate’s sister and her boyfriend were both part of our social circle. The boyfriend was killed in DC trying to fend off a guy trying to steal his girlfriend’s purse. Same year, a high school acquaintance was killed in the same way, but trying to help a stranger.

I used to babysit a kid when he was around 8 or 9; at 17 he stabbed a homeless man to death as part of some stupid revenge plot with a couple of his prep school buddies.
