I signed up to Totse in 2004.
That was 14 years from 1990, when Totse was just in its infancy, not even on the web yet.
It's now been 14 years since 2004. That's the same amount of time it was from 2004 to 1990.

you know those screenshots you posted from back in the day

If you are already positive I'm a fraud and have been lying about being on Totse since 1989, why are you still scrounging around? Just the fact that you keep digging proves you know you don't have an iron-clad case against me. -

i'm asking for this reason:

do you still stand by your story that those ascii welcome screens were screenshotted and saved by you? -
2018-03-10 at 2:58 PM UTCA BBS is an active community. It's not a web page. That's where you guys went wrong. Once logged into the BBS, you were able to create live/realtime connections to users also on the network. That's what made it a BBS! Not only could you download and upload documents, you could also communicate directly to anyone anywhere in the world who was also active on the platform. The placeholder page for the Totse domain in 1997 was not the Totse BBS. You couldn't communicate with anyone through it. There was no active community. When I said there was "no Totse at all", I just meant there was no web version of the BBS yet, and that is entirely correct. In fact, the telnet version of the BBS was still perfectly intact and fully functional right up until way past the actual web-version of the Totse BBS went online. You don't just destroy your old version of the BBS just because you got a new version. And when Jeff said he was cancelling the dialup service to the old BBS and using its hardware, that just meant he was closing access to it, and planned to use the equipment he had used for incoming connections on the old BBS to service the new BBS. None of that translates to Jeff destroying the old server, as you try to insinuate. See, the only real issue here is that none of you were there, so you really have no clue what really transpired. I do.

2018-03-10 at 3:20 PM UTCOptions:
1. Answer question truthfully.
2. Answer question falsely.
3. Answer with a half truth.
4. Don't answer at all.
5. Say I had them, but lost them recently on a corrupted hard drive.
6. Fry your motherboard and wait for someone else to ask the same question.
hmmmm...
Ok, I'll go for option #1 and tell the whole truth. Yes, I have screenshots that I took myself with the use of files taken directly off the old Totse telnet-based BBS server and a Borland-based, screen capture utility called, ANSIViewer/Player. -

what are the screenshots that you took yourself
do you want to repost them in this thread for us to have a look at? -

Animated like this?
Faggot? Stupid faggot? -
2018-03-10 at 3:45 PM UTCNow, the only way I could have captured those screenshots was directly off the actual Totse server files themselves, because if you research it, you will find out that the ANSIViewer requires at least one file to load first before you can do any playback or capture. So then, how the hell did I get the original Totse server files to playback and capture if I wasn't really there in, say, 2000? And your argument starts to crumble.

Nice try, but I myself uploaded some of the raw Totse files some years back, and that user on the silenceisdefeat.net domain got them from the web version of Totse and posted them on his own site. There's nothing untoward here. But that animation actually is from the old Totse BBS. The only thing you have wrong is who had the files first.
