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 have you enable Zmodem or do I have to use Xmodem ?
-
@foone You know... even when I had dialup internet access I never once tried to connect to a bbs. huh.

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!

@weirdtreething well i know Shit about hacking on firmware and so many more things
different people, different timelines. that’s okay

@foone Press ESC twice to continue...
Also, if your're old enough for the BBS thing, you probably also need to schedule a colonoscopy.
@Stormgren @foone Interestingly enough, I just read about mailboxes in Taiwan, still active today with more than a million users....

@foone@digipres.club i knew what a BBS was at the ripe age of 12… but you’re not a cop now, are you?

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

@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.
