lowtax we're the same age and probably had many of the same experiences. let it go brother, leave the community be so we can become whatever SA is going to become. times and people change.

in 1988 I fired up a 300 baud modem attached to a commodore 64 and I called the outpost BBS in NH. 603-888-3840, I still remember that number after all these years and I never even posted there. that was the first one I called. then I found others and eventually a few where I sort of fit in. somewhere I have a 5 1/4 floppy with an ASCII screen capture showing I posted over 1000 times on a certain BBS. that was worthy of note then, in 1992

at the time BBS culture (lol) was 98% weirdos. imagine trying to meet cool people IRL in 1990 and talking about a BBS. let me tell you it did not work. now things have changed and forums are populated by people that aren't entirely weirdos/outcasts etc. but this place is like those places were. it's welcoming to those who don't always have many other options. so I'd hate to see it go. I have become older, if not cooler, so it's not a huge issue in my day to day life anymore. but I still like it here and it shouldn't be deleted or erased out of spite.

something of the spirit of all those old meetups at Denny's and at the commuter parking lot at 0300 still lives on in this stupid place so don't loving walk away because there are still a few people who don't have anywhere else to go
