I remember back in the IRC days, finding guys on there who let you into their  hard drive to download whatever you saw & liked (usually warez & movies or  music)

Thuys the ruler to never call a BBS after a long time unless you call by voice  during office hoursm, to check if it still answers with a modem. . .

Back when BBSing was big, we had a local BBS list (covered 8 connected cities;  had 10-20 new boards a month in it, & listed those which were no longer with us (the list maker called every board on it by modem every month for updates)

You try, "How come you dont buy your own computer for Doom?" but are quickly  rebuffed with, "That IS my own, you little shit! Now get out of here before I  get mad & put my foot in your @ss!"
