@MaruZenunim
@Carin_McLeoud they used 300 baud modems because they were almost the only multiline places and it was cheaper -
@MaruZenunim
@Carin_McLeoud but there was some specific term of art for them -
@MaruZenunim
@Carin_McLeoud i'll ask@petdance, he'll know. hey@petdance, what did we call 300 baud chat boards back in the day? chatters? -
@chaosprime @MaruZenunim@petdance I kinda wanna call chatrooms "type easies" now. -
@Carin_McLeoud @MaruZenunim@petdance lol. but only secret, members-only encrypted chatrooms. -
@chaosprime @MaruZenunim@petdance ones that have fronts as like, geocities fanpages. -
@Carin_McLeoud @MaruZenunim@petdance yes, exactly.
