doorgames. hell, we don't even have users anymore.
I like running my BBS(es) at home. Been doing it since 1984. Of course they are very different now than they were then. Then, I only ran 1
Atari 8-bit BBS on several floppy drives (and eventually a 5 mb hard
disk (wow)).

Warms my heart. I had the same kind of setup although a Commodore 64
with 3 X 1541 drives (floppies) :-) The difference was that back then, mostly people within your personal areacode called you, and today,
you're available to the whole world and nobody calls. <grin>

I saw Pure Nihilism BBS running on an Apple II, and was watching the screen as someone entered a message. I noticed that when the caller
saved a message, it automatically deleted a message to make room. I
think he had something like 300 messages on the board at the time.
i think a lot of people have forgotten that the local aspect is what made bbsing great. a lot of sysops in today's age are blind to that.

So the first message got Nihilated? :-) Go Figure.

The last few years that I ran a BBS was on an Amiga 2500 that had a 20 meg HD inside. Fairly distant locals became real locals. It was a big deal. I was invited out to Commodore meetings to discuss BBS's with everyone.
Strangely enough... when I was running the Atari 8bit BBS (1984-87), I
had about 75% callers from long distance. I know why but refuse to comment on the grounds... etc etc.
Atari software treasure I'd imagine or . . . porn. :-)

Gotta love those 8 bit square boobies that took 12 hours to download.
I worked at the company that developed Tomb Raider. It was odd working for a company where you could have scantilly-clad women on your PC background, as long as it was Lara Croft. PS1 era Lara was pretty polygon sparse, if you know what I'm saying.
I was so pissed that they couldn't get it together enough to tie the game into the movie and get a release out to coincide with the movie release.
