03-Mar-96 ANONBBS
Ted and Stephen got together very late one night and decided to start a
short lived project they called 'ANONBBS'. ANONBBS was just as it sounds,
it ran on an i386sx25 toshiba laptop with 60mb of storage and 10mb of RAM
under Digital Research DOS 5.0 .. The entire BBS was written in TELIX SALT
with an extremely functional, but minimalistic interface that Ted and
Stephen literally hashed out over tacos and nachos at 3am in a Taco Cabana.
The asethetic proved extremely useful and the system became busy. Users
would type up messages on their machines and then upload them to the
'C:\BBOARD>' directory. Files were stored in 'C:\XFER>' .. some users
signed their handles on messages while others just remained anonymous.
It was an experiment to see what people would do in an environment where
they had completely anonyomity and control.
So some weeaboos made an anonymous board 7 years before world2ch and 4chan, and 3 years before 2channel?
