| ifSHTF have a plan when it hits the fan. User ID: 968710 United States11/24/2012 11:25 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | if you're looking for the older version of "today's" type of forums, i'd start digging at old UBB (Ultimate Bulletin Board) / Infopop forums. It was written in perl back in 1996. Anything else you find will probably look like old text only usenet chains. Last Edited by ifSHTF on 11/24/2012 11:27 AM |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24314629 United States11/24/2012 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I started my BBS in 1988, had lots of messages in that forum, but it's not "online" like websites are today. I was on Fidonet around 1990. Had to install a front end that grabbed those messages. Used Remote Access BBS software. Similar to Renegade. |
