Man those were the days. I was just barely old enough to be able to get into them before they died. Anyone remember the door games?

I remember it being pretty crazy that I could play BRE or LORD with people, even across BBSes in some cases.

And each BBS had a different setup for LORD. There were some that seemingly just tried to install every possible in game module, and it was the most broken thing ever...

I remember one place that had a "wall" plugin at login where you could leave public messages, and the BBS software also included some special escape sequences that would resolve to the current user's name, phone number, etc. Not a real security hole since you could only show someone their own information, but it was bags of laughs to post something like "Hey <firstname>, I've been trying to get hold of you all week! Isn't your home # <phonenumber>?"
