[NBLUG/talk] BBS nostalgia

[Jordan Erickson]

I do remember that =) That was cool, I remember a few other boards 
having similar things. It was always cool to put your own creativity 
into your board. I hated the generic RG boards (I hate to admit I was a 
renegade fanboy).

Just to throw some ON topic info to this OT thread, anyone using Linux 
and wanting a REAL BBS telnet client with REAL ANSi capabilities, I 
found this, and it rocks.

Cheers,

It was programmed (in batch files no less) to load a different batch of ten ANSI logoff art pics each day and special collections on special days. Then the art would cycle for each logoff. Some users would login/logoff just to see what was loaded that day.
