    GENERAL conversaton .... ;)


    MetroNet has been around since 1994 .... I sorta made it the Renegade home network, but it's a anyone welcome, old school network looking to grow again.

    ... Windows: big, expensive, pretty virus.

    Renegade. . there's a BBS OS name from theolden days I've long forgotten. . .

    I tended to call very few RG boards, as here they were run by mouthy little ankies who were just so proud they could use f-bombs like punctuation, well, more like spaces, & explore how far they could go with "free speech" until
    they chased users off one by one. . .

    I called 5+ boards daily, & 20+ weekly, & dozens more less often, including dialing in using DOS to thousands of miles(6,000+ minutes/month) to feed my DOS-run BBS addiction. . .

    More people globally(Fidonet, & others) knew me as Cyberpope than by my slave name. . .

    I feel that way too a lot of the time. How do you cope with the crankyness?

    I suspect that the reason for that is because Renegade made message bases so easy to use. I was one of those kids. I wanted to post terrible stuff on a PCBoard BBS, or on a Wildcat!, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
