    @domi @foone I never used any BBSes because my parents wouldn't let me have a modem. They were always worried about me driving the phone bill through the roof and missing important phone calls. When I moved out, BBSes weren't really very interesting anymore because the Internet was exploding.

      Setting up age verification for my BBS

      It's simple: if you know what a BBS is and manage to connect to it, you're clearly over 18.

        @foone the people that remember what a BBS is are dying of old age.

          @domi @foone (ftr this is knowledge that never goes away, i was born in '09 and actively ran a bbs, albeit one over packet radio rather than IP, and i have several friends younger than me who know of them)

          @doskel @domi @foone I found out my middle/high school network didn't block Telnet or SSH (because what underpaid grade school IT staff is gonna bother with that?) so I spent a lot of time in like 2016 playing Trade Wars 2002 and such in class lol

            @littlefox@gotosocial-dev.svc.0x0a.network @foone@digipres.club it’s okay

            this is just why i don’t tell people how old I am. i should just adopt some fake truth, it’s not like you could tell that i wasn’t born in 1992 given the amount of stupid trivia i amassed ,_,

            @domi @foone @littlefox "I was using windows 95 when I was 12" puts you even earlier than 1992!

                @foone you can also ask them to go and register a CompuServe account using a special link.

                          @foone Ahh, yes. Pepperidge farms remembers giving his mom a heart attack with the bill for a two hour phone call to a now-infamous german BBS in 1987. Also remembers tracking down a captain crunch whistle after the savage & reflectively probably well deserved beating he endured over said bill.

                                      Related age verification option: Knowing that seeing “NO CARRIER” on a screen had nothing to do with mobile phone coverage.

                                          Setting up age verification for my BBS

                                          It's simple: if you know what a BBS is and manage to connect to it, you're clearly over 18.
