For St. Louisans, March 14 is #314Day! ⚜️ ☎️ 🎉

In celebration, I'm sharing a tiny tech time capsule — a collection of textfiles related to St. Louis-area #BBS networks!

breakintochat.com/blog/2025/03

I gathered these 30 years ago when I was cosysop of "Something in the Attic BBS" and seeking to attract more users.

Brace yourself for all manner of capitalization! (PIllowNet, SPORKnet, StupidNET)

Ending "z"s!

And lots of exclamation marks!

A thing called #Minitel
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel completely obscured the Bulletins Boards #BBS here in France I think in the 90's (?!). Because I discovered BBS long long long long time after.

And, I was looking if I can find a french BBS now, and they don't (really) exists.

Fact.

You can play a lot of Infocom games there, & save your progression.

I'm taking a lot of notes. Playing in a dark place only lightened by some diode lights. The cat sleeps in a cardboard box nearby with all 4 irons in the air. What a scene! :0)
