    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

    OMG. If I still owned a modem and a normal phone line, I'd be in already.

    And those of us that did the BBS thing remember the networks of BBSs that sent your replies out to everyone, and brought new comments back in (ILink, FidoNet, et al), each time you logged in. That is eminently 'Fediversal', IMO!

          @foone Press ESC twice to continue...

          Also, if your're old enough for the BBS thing, you probably also need to schedule a colonoscopy.

            @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.

                @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

                    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.
