• I don't know how I feel about this..

    From BBS ( /u/Bigheaded_1 https://www.reddit.com/user/Bigheaded_1 ) to All on Tue Apr 7 15:36:29 2026

    I applied to a board that was full blown 90s. They even have NUV, and I didn't pass the v0t3. Granted I don't have references anymore and they asked for 5. But to be 50 year olds and get rejected from a BBS, I'm not sure how I feel about that lol.
    While I don't remember any BBS's by name, I do remember the epic disappointment of being 15 and getting voted off a board I was dying to be on. That shit would really hurt my pride back then. I remember getting voted off one where the remote sysop was a reference for me other places :| Having it happen again at 50's damn surreal. And I can only imagine most of the users are old fucks like me :| I get being a stupid 14 year old who thought they king l33t voting no, but at 50+ that seems extra shitty.
    I guess some things never change? It would be hilarious if 1 of these NO voters had also voted NO 30 years ago on another board. It's a small word like that for me LOL.
    I even knew all the acronyms without having to g00gle them. submitted by /u/Bigheaded_1 [link] [comments]
