We had a Heathkit terminal in our house starting in around 1980 or so and we could call into the mainframe at the college where my dad worked using a screaming fast 300 baud modem. It was linked to the Dartmouth college computer, where they had a chat room. So my first chat/forum experiences were in the early 80's.
It was all text then, each "post" would follow another as a big long text document. The posts were separated only by a couple carriage returns and then a header to tell who was making the post. You could fake forum messages as coming from another member by just putting the fake message within your own using the appropriate spacing format. Good times. |

Since this thread bears my name, I'm going to say that Shawnee123 went on temporary indivisible mode due to thinly veiled threats...now she's decided heck with it.
Spiders. Spiders scare me. Other than that, nothing much.

No matter what happens in life, I will always laugh with myself and at myself, with others, and sometimes at others.
