Maybe so. It still doesn't stop Paul Ramsey for making lame "poor Styx" excuses for him every time a super chatter brings up his name, just because he was a former associate of his, and that stupid code of "don't punch right" toward people in your "circle"
If you’ll recall, I posted a link to a video of his fairly recently where I used a screenshot from it and one of him now as comparisons. I believe he was fairly newly married or involved with Liz at the time. In that video, he talks about how he was an alcoholic and how he changed by picking up a new skill and dropping an old habit.
It just needed to be mansplained properly.
BBS nigger checking in. You guys were lucky with your Fido, Prodigy, CompuServe, etc. I started out in the early 80's with 300 baud, and couldn't convince my parents to spend the $10? $20? a month for any online services, I was lucky they even let me get my own phone line lol.
I had one of those VICMODEMs. 110 baud simplex. You literally had to flip a switch manually between send and receive. I dialed into Compuserve with it one time.So it was just local BBSes mostly run by friends, until I learned Phreaking and could call everywhere. Then I discovered the internet in the early 90's and my mind was blown away. Now waiting for some other old-timer to one-up me with stories of the older 110-baud acoustic coupler modem.

I actually had one of those, but I didn't get it during the period they were in use but found it in an attic of somewhere I worked, still in the box. By then the standard was 9600. Never opened it, sold it on eBay. By then, the phones it worked with (those standard Bell phones).Now waiting for some other old-timer to one-up me with stories of the older 110-baud acoustic coupler modem.
Kids today would break him down for parts.
In before someone mentions 1-800-US-HAYES and @Styxhexenhammer666 regales us with his tales of downloading PKZIP without a ratio.
Ramz really deserves his own thread on here, he is a wild one!
I wonder what Styx's MAGA boomer followers think of Tarl's peepee-poopoo musings.
Brush with butter, roll in cinnamon sugar, make as you ordinarily would, and you have lazy ass fastnachts.
You’re welcome, sweet cheeks.
omg phreaking. Damn! I forgot about that. It was still happening in the late 90s. My first boyfriend ever was a phreaker. He would hack people’s answering machines and change the outgoing messages. I thought he was sooooo cool for that lol.until I learned Phreaking and could call everywhere.
I don’t think he has many boomer fans because of the whole 666 thing.
I said I already watched the zoosadism shit go down, Tarl. This isn't even as bad anyway. Pussy.
