        It's simple: if you know what a BBS is and manage to connect to it, you're clearly over 18.

            @foone Ahh, yes. Pepperidge farms remembers giving his mom a heart attack with the bill for a two hour phone call to a now-infamous german BBS in 1987. Also remembers tracking down a captain crunch whistle after the savage & reflectively probably well deserved beating he endured over said bill.

                      Most of us in that club are closer to pensionable age...

                        Oh yeah! I remember when BBS’s were listed in the yellow pages.

                          Related age verification option: Knowing that seeing “NO CARRIER” on a screen had nothing to do with mobile phone coverage.

                                @foone no but they have to connect by imitating making a modem tone with their voices

                                You can read about dialup but to truly experience it you need to dee-dee-dee BLORGHKXKXLLLKKKXXXXKKXXXX

                                      I, too, was 12 when I figured those items out. Clearly that means that as far as BBS are concerned, I am 12 forever. Isn't that how digital age verification works?
