we have so many cool old ads, why not recycle some of them? although a lot of them have bad words and boobs in them from 2015 and older, so maybe not those.

it's what boomers used to use before forums. although i think it works more like a mailing list?
but nowadays the main use case of it is that it's so old copyright lawyers forgot it exists
people upload :filez: by doing binary-to-ascii conversions and spreading their base64 gibberish over a hundred poasts and then illegal-copying-enthusiasts use specific pirate clients to recombine and un-frobnicate all that crap to get the original file back

Isn't that what it was used for all along? I remember my first job in a computer shop, the owner was downloading mp3s from usenet, and this was some time around 96 or 97. It was the first time I'd heard of an mp3. Dude was playing an Adam Sandler album, and it kept playing when he opened the CD drive! How did you do that? What do you mean you're playing audio from your hard drive? What?

2004-era forums Main Characters who were so annoying together that Lowtax (iirc Ozma ended up actually enforcing it in the end) posted that if they ever got caught posting in the same thread, even if not talking directly to each other, they would both be banned or perma'd

context is some CSPAM or other politics bullshit, I didn't pay attention except someone randomly dropped her name and she immediately responded after nearly a decade away

it's the cool and good way to pirate media without fear of reprisal or annoying torrent sites

technically it also used to be decentralized message boards but it's been useless for that for 20+ years

Yeah, I look at those ads with my vague Usenet memories of something I just connected to with my browser (or a built-in newsreader?) as a stupid teen, and I'm completely lost
