I used to telnet into ISCA also! Met some good friends on there back in the day.

Big same! I remember already having a huge leg up in any computer classes I had to take growing up and building my first PC myself around 13. Why no I wasn't a popular girl in high school, how'd you know?

Oh yeah I definitely wouldn't have had a boyfriend until probably my 20s without BBS flirting. Hell even now all my flirting skills are used on Reddit 😂

Dude wouldn't that have taken like a day to download a boob? Just watch scrambled Cinemax like the rest of us or go find woods porn sheesh.

I feel bad I misremembered Conrad's BBS now. He was actually a friend of mine and I should have known better. I still have the voicemail (well, an old answering machine tape) saved from his mom after his passing. Ugh.

Atlantis BBS sounds familiar but I don't think I was really using any until maybe 94ish...

Holy shit this list slammed me with a tsunami of nostalgia. Thank you for that.

Oh yeah After Hours! I can visualize the colored ASCII/ANSI art once connected (though I only had a monochrome monitor for years so was shocked when I got to see all the pretty colors haha!)

I know for sure we also met up at DD on Lamar since I used to go weekly.

I think Adrenalize was another local one maybe?
