One of the best things about fibre broadband
12 November 2026As someone who began their online life using a 300bps acoustically coupled modem, I think I can speak with some authority about how things have improved since the 1980s.
"Back in the day", we had to dial the number of an online service by hand, using a rotary phone (not even any push-buttons) and then, on finding the number was engaged, wait a few seconds and try again.
The result of this was often a sore finger and frustration that the BBSes of the day often only had a single line to service the scores or even hundreds of users that were trying to log on.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
