My dad talked about those BBS’s - bulletin boards where people would have their own chat rooms on their home computers. I wonder if it’ll go back to that.

I ran a BBS up until 1995. It has crossed my mind to resurrect it at least a time or two.

Yahoo was good for those.
Damn that was some fun stuff.
I was bad sometimes however.......I would impersonate people that would make me nuts.
One was FordMachII.........I made his name FordMachll (using 2 lower case “Ls” instead of 2 capital I’s) and I’d post stuff that was outrageous as if it was him. Those were the days......😂🤣🤪

Seems like IRC (Internet Relay Chat) may make a comeback. It was used quite heavily prior to the explosion of social media and it is still quite popular in certain places.
