:a13ca25b8b]OH, and I was the VERY FIRST, FULLY FREE SPEECH/HARDCORE BOARD in 860, and pretty much most of the USA ... (the last part's unconfirmed, of course, but looking at all the message nets and "traveling around" I think it was difinately one of the first) [
:a13ca25b8b]In fact, when I eventually got to the "fuck it, do and say what you want" phase, word spread so fast, I got 64 users that very day of the announcement; ... and it just kept going; to almost 2000 users [
:a13ca25b8b]We were also hooked up to the larger, MBBS and Galacticom boards, so people all over the world could telnet in, ... it took 2 nodes [
:a13ca25b8b]Wait-Times to get onto TSi for even my SYSOPS was generally about an hour (wardialing us) ...
VERY cool stuff,most of that hardware stuff is either too old for me to care about /learn or too hackerish to know but its all very impressive.....
I suppose my main questioning now is that with all of this history,WIth all that you've done and acheived......
WHY is tsi now just a Message board with some flash games thrown on? why hasnt thrashinc.com expanded More greatly? WHY doesnt this board NOW have at LEAST 500 members?
well yeah,im not really MINDING that....Everyone knows that a smaller community thats more active is whats the best instead of 20,000 members who really dont post at all,All im saying is.....MY board,
And i know its a warez board and they have reputations of reaching 10K + memberships within 6 months....but MY board which will be officiall 2 months old as of the 4th of feburary 2006 is already at 158 members......Of which around 20 or so are active or visiting on a dialy baisis....
ANYWAY,this version of tsi has been around what,2 years or so now? At LEAST a year,and were only at like,under 200 members......Thats just,stinky....

And it took approximately 2.3 hours to register for an account. 3.3 if you wanted pr0n access.
