  • Back To the BBS Part 5: The Underground

    From hyjinx@21:1/126 to All on Sat Aug 7 14:03:24 2021
    Hi All,

    Just a quick note to say that part 5 of the documentary series, "Back to the BBS: The return to being online" is coming out soon. The episode covers 'The Underground', and is pretty much the only episode of the series that takes a look down history lane as most of the stuff in the underground scene went
    from BBSes and evolved to the net or Darknet many years ago. However there is
    a fascinating interview with Dan Smolders who talks about HPAVC (Hacking, Phreaking, Anarchy, Virii and Cracking/Warez & Carding). He reminds us of the stories of two folks that got busted.
    However, if you have knowledge or personal insights into the BBS underground scene (especially if it's based on modern day BBS underground stuff), I'd
    love to hear from you before I wrap editing, which I intend on doing this
    week or next at the latest, so please contact me directly & asap if you would like to contribute!

    Cheers,

    Thank you for all your hard work on this series. I think you have done a good job at exposing the hobby to a bunch of people who either have never heard of BBSing or did used to do something with it back in the 90s and have
    discovered it's still active in 2021. That's cool.

    Best, Paul
