I was a sysop in those days. I had a Packard Bell 486/33 with (iirc) a 1200 baud modem. Then came Usenet, AOL and Compuserve to take away a lot of the traffic. Think I was done by '95.

It has been literally decades since BBSing had its heyday. But believe it or not, despite the technology being so old, there are some nostalgic SysOps who have decided to put their boards back online.

Kratsminsch is a really good friend, and a fellow writer. We've known each other since 1992, when she was the sysop on Furry BBS local to Toronto, where we both still live. She's always been a kind and supportive friend, and I couldn't have afforded a laptop nearly as nice as the one she gave me.

Yeah, this type of stuff pushed me to self hosting FOSS alternatives to those as a hobby.
So now I'm a part time unpaid sysop and if you'll excuse me, I'm getting some warnings in my home server and need to go do maintenance.
Still better than the alternative, though.
