    Hey Brokenmind what's up with the phone number stuff on your board? Who gives out their phone number? I can't get past your login. I don't give out my phone number. Do you have many users?

    This was from along while ago did i give you my cell phone to try to help you out in private or? I don't give peoples info out that are users on my system and yes I have quite a few active users. Have you tried recently?

    board had new user voting. I was really into the Elite Scene back then
    and affiliated with all
    sorts of groups. But anyways like I said feel free to use a fake
    number if you wish. but again
    i'm not all about spam and all that crap

    I was part of that too. I'm sure I did use a fake number but I'm not going to remember that. Maybe delete the acount and I'll create another one? I insist on keeping my handle '-)

    Sorry did not see this reply.. LOL back in the day I did not give out my board number but it got passed around in the right crowd. if you have any problems drop me a line...

    Yaaay! I didn't need a phone number this time! Your disclaimers make me feel like I'm loging into the KAOS (Get Smart) main frame. lol

    LOL I'm still working on the board and have added a ton of stuff now that i have more time but i just want it to feel like in the 80s. But I don't use new user voting and that type of stuff and disclaimers as well

    I never gave my real information when it came to the Elite scene but
    had no big issues on regular boards depending but that's really a
    wisdom issue more than anything...

    BrokenMind

    Nobody did if you were truely "Elite". Warez traders never used real info. Were you in the Commodore scene at all? Man there was a new release every day. Games Games and more Games. I met more 16 year old coders back then. Smart kids. Really smart. I'd love to know what they did with their lives. Did they use their skills wisely or end up behind bars? ;-)

    I was never in the Commodore Scene at all. I played around with many types of BBS Sofware.. Renegade / Celerity / Oblivion / Vision were my favroite back in the days but as in warez 0-3 day for PCs...and was affilated with all sorts of having and craking back in the day and was approched a few years back to join a well known one but i declined.. I could tell you some crazy stories of were alot of the people i know that ended up in jail or working for uncle sam and have put there skills to good uses.. but i would never go into any of it here... but good questions and thought though.

    I had someone on a BBS when i was in the 4th or 5th grade that would
    have come
    to house and picked me up and took me to a motel so I could see real
    porn and quote "Mabey we can mess around" I'm so thankfull I did not
    take that person up on there offer...Also when i was around that age
    I was hit up by an adult multi times on a synchronet system from the
    bay area and I actually contacted the SysOp and was told that he had
    been doing this to a number of young people and he said he would
    look into it.... BBS could be a dangerous place and the internet is
    even worse.

    Never had any of those issues with our users AFAIK. But we didn't run chat (kinda pointless with only one line), and in those days, the sysop was able to read all messages, including private ones - today's software has capabilities unheard of back then.

    yes thankfull there are better features and security but the internet is still a dangerous place for kids. I actually was a part of a group of volunters that worked to take down online predators in the early 2005. I also knew a few members also from Perverted Justice that was on Dateline to catch a predator. i was a volunter that got involved after someone went after my daughter when she was 14. But again i had her computer rigged to alert me and caught it before it got out of hand and beacuse of the laws of were i lived at the time law enforcement declined to go after the perp long story I got invloved with said group and we exposed him to his friends family and worked. turned out he was a volunter first responder on top of it.

    I wish transcripts were easily available, because others who had plead guilty had much lower sentences, such as 9 months.
    guilty had much lower sentences, such as 9 months.
    I here ya i don't have any trust in the justice system now. though I know a lot of Good people that are first responders including Law Enforcemnet but then again there are always bad apples out there..
