You've been exposed, ripped open, and broken beyond repair. We're definitely going to need a replacement. If only DaGuru were here. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL No. The kit came like one of those build-it-yourself model airplanes, in the same kind of box, and when you opened it, there was the parts all laying out flat and connected together by little bits of plastic. So you had to pull the parts off the main sheet one by one and build piece by piece, and there were at least 20-30 parts. You ended up with a very cool piece of communications hardware for just 99 cents.
Wrong
It was not communications hardware it was a simple receiver. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Seriously, guys. All kidding aside, I used to build crystal radios from $0.99 kits at 5 years old. This was way before computers were even on the market. When the first Intel 80386s and Amigas came out in the mid '80's, I was all over that like Flint. And, really, all we had was telnet - nothing else existed worth using. And, really, the only thing worth connecting to on telnet was the BBS systems in those days. Everything else was either boring or not yet invented. It's not like you could just go and load up Warcraft and have a game. Just imagine having no web browser, no search engine, no nothing. So the BBS scene was where it was at, that was the emerging culture, and I was there. I visited several hundred, if not thousands, of BBS sites in those days. The files I grabbed are the raw files for the Totse-customized art welcome screens, everything else was lost to history.
Usenet was way before any of that and it was quite searchable.
As for "building" a crystal radio all you really did was wrap some copper wire around a cardboard tube, ground it, connected an ear phone, and stuck piece of wire on it for an antenna. -

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.
Except that wasn't released until 2006.

Originally posted by Speedy Parker I have turned off the old dial-up BBS system. I needed the equipment for my web servers, and the money that the dial-up lines cost me can be better spent on connectivity for the web site.
Originally posted by -SpectraL "Turned off" just means you couldn't access it remotely anymore. The "dialup lines" were just basically the phone numbers you dialed to dial into them.
Turned off and equipment repurposed. As in gone, no more, bye bye. You can invent all the twisted meanings you want. It's captured for all to see you are full of turds. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL A 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.
I have turned off the old dial-up BBS system. I needed the equipment for my web servers, and the money that the dial-up lines cost me can be better spent on connectivity for the web site. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL That only says that the old BBS was taken offline for dialup service. It doesn't say the file contents of that version of the BBS were deleted. Those links are merely hotlinks to the content stored on the old BBS, and the actual new web version of the BBS hadn't been put up yet. You still have nothing.
Wrong again. It says;I have turned off the old dial-up BBS system. I needed the equipment for my web servers, and the money that the dial-up lines cost me can be better spent on connectivity for the web site.
It also say, at the bottom;&TOTSE has served up 20125610 pages since 03/13/98 at 12:00pm PST
That means 20,125,610 web pages. Not newspaper pages, or comic pages, and certainly not dialup BBS pages.
Wrong, wrong, wrong yet again, and wrong still.
