The beauty of the baud.
Basically, you used a program called, HyperTerminal to log in, or you could just use raw TelNet. You entered the BBS phone number and you were taken to the BBS. No toll charges applied. At login, you were presented with a fabulous display of colorful ASCII graphics, which scrolled across the screen from top to bottom, or appeared to scroll from side to side, and there was all kinds of messages and notes and memes integrated into these "welcome screen" graphics. Your terminal screen came alive. Once inside the BBS and fully logged in, you were presented with categories of information to choose from, navigated by way of the ALT+arrow+Enter keys on your keyboard. Menus would drop down, popup menus would pop out, screens would morph into one another. It was quite an awesome experience, for those days. People were very exhilarated to be free to express themselves in any way they chose, with anyone on the planet who had access to the phone system.

Weren't most of them purposly written to be amuslingly disturbing and crude? how could you rub one out to those.
I stuck with UFO and Conspiracy but was curious about his accident photos. always question them then and now they're tamed compared to what goes mainstream today.

The big craze in the very early days was phreaking.
