    Welcome!

    How long since you first used a BBS :)

    What brought you back after such a long absence?

    I think it was around 1993 ish, I remember I was still in school, so must be around that time. I always preferred BBSes over the internet, I don't know why but it just felt very different.

    I would love someone to be able to explain why BBSes felt so much better back then? (and even still) - maybe because connections feel more personal and meaningful, like chatting to some guy in a bar or something?

    I've always liked them more, specifically because of the door games. It was fun to get online and play your turns on something ( like BRE or Tradewars ), and wait in suspense for the next day to roll around and see what damage the other's did to you, or if your attacks did well and stuff. It was also neat to talk to other people in the city over the chat functions and then the BBS meet ups that we used to have. Those were all fun!
