  Shit, I remember Fark.

      Try to tell a kid about BBS boards nowadays and they start singing about something called a BBL Drizzy…

        My local BBS was great, but when the provider became an ISP, the BBS became a ghost town because everyone went to IRC and Usenet.

        That ISP was also the local jerky company. Dad made the Jerky, son ran the model pool. I miss the 90s.

    I never had a Fark account but I remember following them religiously. I remember something about them crowdfunding an arena name for a day about an unsolicited finger in the ass.
