do you think you could make a bbs.eevblog.com forum link? the ol BBS days?
Alternative: browse the forums with a modern text-only browser like
elinksBonus: one of the fastest web-browsers in the world. Sometimes you don't care for the latest effects and just want to read to text portion of the web.
This is how it would have materialized on my amber monitor in those days:
i love the elinks browser but what im talkiong about is anstiad of going to
www.eevblog.com/forums i want to use bbs.eevblog.com!
You have to ask yourself how many people would want or use something like that?
if i want it then everyone must want it! #foxlogic
Now, if it could run independent of the internet, without long distance charges, it would something to think about!
well first you would have to take your tinfoil hat off

Me too! Either using my Commodore 64 or my IBM PS/2. Nothing more than 9600 baud please ;-)

No need to be rude.
I wasn't talking about privacy issues.
Carrier pigeons with floppy disks I say!
what are floppy disks some new kind of ferite core memory?
My grandma wants her needle point back FennecTECH.
Edit: come to think of it, might be cool to actually have a core memory needle point sweater
Next big geek thing for awful winter sweaters!
Extra bonus points if the sweater actually works as core memory!
that actually might be neat!i want one but first i would have to figure out exactly how core ememory works and it might be chilly since the whole thing will be rather breezy and its made from metal and ferrite
The ferrites go on the outside of the sweater not in the inside, they just hold a magnetic charge and when you read them they are erased so you have to rewrite them again.
sounds rather ineficent im only 20 so its probally WAY before my time but it sure looks sexy! flash aint beautiful like that

You are true to your name, sir!
How about an 80s style BBS written to run on an AVR or PIC? You'd just have to put most of the code in external flash, but it could be done.
Does this forum have a files section? How about door games? Gotta have my LORD. ^_^

Still got it wrong
It's 9600 bps and the corresponding de/encoding runs at 2400 baud. Just nitpicking
In the mid-late 90s with a 28.8Kbps modem you could do quite a bit even with 3 second lag including voice.
People now are spoiled and it's just too easy now, and they still don't get it right
