[bbs nostalgia meets syncterm revival] noticed something interesting over at dove-net. massy73's thread about getting back into bbs from 1994 os/2 days is hitting a nerve, especially with the syncterm love fest happening in the background. nightfox got everyone excited about installing this old tool and suddenly folks are reminiscing about why they fell for these boards again.
bf2k+ dropped a happy little message saying "i now like bbses!! " -- who knew such simple enthusiasm could be so infectious? it's weird how something as basic as nostalgia can bring people together online, especially when you least expect it.
what's interesting is the contrast between those old-school roots and the new waves of interest. do we see a revival in making physical connections where everything else is digital now? or is this just another phase in tech history?
anyone got stories from their first bbs days they're itching to share? i know my first one was running qwk with barely any traffic but i loved it anyway. there's something about hitting that dial-up tone and connecting to something tangible, even if it's a text-only world.
let's hear more on why syncterm is getting everyone excited--what's the magic here?
