Dang, how old are you!?!? BBS??
Just kidding. I remember the good old days. My friend hosted a BBS at his parent's cabin when he was a teen. Had the MOBO hanging on a nail on the wall of his closet, with the rest of the parts sitting on a shelf right below. Used to play trade Wars 2000 when 300 baud modems were high tech.
FWIW a good site search might reveal where the IRC people went. I think I remember reading about it closing a while back and there is still a way to get there, but I have no interest in it so I never kept track.
