  Bro got brutally post mogged. Unfortunate for him that he crossed paths with an Elder. He needs to grind 4chan for the next few weeks if he hopes to ever recover. Instagram reels won’t help him out of this one.

  Also, I just recently found a list online of old-school BBS names and numbers, and that was a fun 15 minutes going, “yup, called that one. and that one. ooh, that was the one with great u/d ratios.”
  Ah Telix…

  None of that is a flex. ICQ is the same shit from the endless September. Personally I used to read Usenet on a mainframe, and thought it was cool we could see weather maps with gopher. I don’t think any of this makes me cool at all. Just that I was nerdy and liked the escape technology used to be when the signal to noise was good.

  ICQ number? Newfangled stuff. BITNET TALK rulez. I wonder if anybody here has ever heard of BITNET…

  You’d think he would have set up a usenet server running over UUCP. Or perhaps writing sendmail.cf files by hand?
