It has been awhile since I posted a retro review, so I figured I'd cover a topic that was very influential for me growing up: BBS systems!
Computer Bulletin Boards are the precursor for social media. Many were run by hobbyists like myself and were free to access. But accessing them required using a phone line, and most BBS systems could only support one user at a time.
But most BBS systems had what most modern websites have today: messageboards, email, file sharing, even games.
I ran a BBS from 1991 until about 1993 or so. I was an active BBS user from 1990 through today, although my BBS usage dropped significantly around 1995 when access to the Internet became cheaper and easier.
In this video I demonstrate some of the basic BBS functions like email, message boards, FidoNet echo groups, door games, and file downloads.
I do suggest checking out Jason Scott’s excellent BBS documentary to get more depth on the technology and the influence it had during its heyday:

FidoNet
FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems (BBSes).It uses a store-and-forward system to exchange private (email) and public (forum) messages between the BBSes in the network, as well as other files and protocols in some cases.

FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems (BBSs). It uses a store and forward system to exchange private (email) and public (forum) messages between the BBSs in the network, as well as other files and protocols in some cases. To save on long distance calling charges when those were expensive, FidoNet used a number of techniques to ensure data was compressed using the then-latest methods of data compression.
As a side-effect of its creation history, FidoNet was based on a number of small interacting programs. Only one of these interacted with the BBS system directly, and was the only portion that had to be ported to support other BBS software. As a result, FidoNet was one of the few networks that was widely supported by almost all BBS software, as well as a number of systems for talking to non-BBS online services.
The rapid improvement in modem speeds during the early 1990s, combined with the rapid decrease in price of computer systems and storage, made BBSes increasingly popular, and FidoNet along with it. By the mid-1990s it was possible to communicate with millions of users on tens of thousands of FidoNet systems around the world. Only UUCP came close in terms of breadth or numbers. The network continues to operate but has shrunk considerably, primarily due to the closing of many BBSes during the increase of popularity of the Internet.

It has been awhile since I posted a retro review, so I figured I'd cover a topic that was very influential for me growing up: BBS systems!
Computer Bulletin Boards are the precursor for social media. Many were run by hobbyists like myself and were free to access. But accessing them required using a phone line, and most BBS systems could only support one user at a time.
But most BBS systems had what most modern websites have today: messageboards, email, file sharing, even games.
I ran a BBS from 1991 until about 1993 or so. I was an active BBS user from 1990 through today, although my BBS usage dropped significantly around 1995 when access to the Internet became cheaper and easier.
In this video I demonstrate some of the basic BBS functions like email, message boards, FidoNet echo groups, door games, and file downloads.
I do suggest checking out Jason Scott’s excellent BBS documentary to get more depth on the technology and the influence it had during its heyday:

En los tiempos previos a la Internet existia Fidonet, un sistema de mensajeria por via de los llamados BBS, esparcida por todo el planeta, y Chile no podia estar fuera de ese campo. Profesionales de la telefonia como Pedro Aguilera y Fernando Jorquera sacaron adelante Fidonet en Chile. Uno de sus canales era el llamado HUASO, al cual estaba suscrito desde California. Nos escribiamos todos los dias y de alli se forjaron muchas amistades que al dia de hoy aun se mantienen.
