>>249Most people here are way too young to have used bbs's back in the day (me included) but interestingly enough, they're still around, with active communities on them
Point is; a year or two ago, I decided to check a few out, and they were great
My favorite part about them was that some had big archives with old files from the 80s and 90s still available for download
In there you could find warez, porn and text files of all kinds, which I personally found, for some reason, to be very cute to rummage through
There was this one file that was named something like "BBS lingo", which had written explanations about the different types of abbreviations people where accustomed to seeing and using on the daily when talking to other users. It's cool to see how some of the terms most people use nowadays where common even back then, and how some others have died entirely as time has passed
Maybe all of this doesn't exactly fall under the category of tale, but I still think that it is, at the very least, a very cool experience all arisu's should try at least once
