Yeah, Puke, I remember those days. I ran VBBS myself, rather than WWIV, but it was all the same. I ran a BBS for about three years before the web really took off, and I had a personal internet account back when there were still no ads on the web. Of course, there wasn't all that much ELSE on the web back in those days, either

I agree that it was not technically correct for whoever to have sent him the EXE, but I'm also pretty convinced that Ubik is legit.

Dude, you're from SD? I grew up there, what board did you run? Im trying to remeber all the BBS hang outs, all that comes to mind right now are The Mental Playground BBS and Hell and Beyond BBS. oh yeah, they are coming back to me now.. Schrodinger's Cat Box; No Name Yet BBS (nameless for about 5 years); Oasis... god, there used to be a two page fine-print list of them in that monthly free computer magazine, whatever it was called.

did you guys know there is a commercial massivly-multiplayer-Online sequel of Trade Wars comming out 3rd quarter this year called Dark Millenium, and there is a open source Online Version of TW2002 you can play from a web based java-app?

of my life back at Univ. I think I lived and played Tradewars for 5-8 hours a day!

Hey!

Trade Wars... great great game!

It starts me having fond memories about 14.4k modems, a truly enjoyable comunity, a shareware game called Stars! Dont know if the name means anything to you...

But from what I have seen so far, this community is very very mature... only a bit too distrustfull, but I think that is what happens when we start pumping money at all this... ;-)

Regards,
