I met a ton of friends via local BBSes in the 90s. A couple of girlfriends too.

And then there was how I got tons of warez and games... I had access to my dad's university internet account, so I could get on Usenet and download porn pics. Then I would upload them to local BBSes and get super high ratios.

And then I had the porn and the software.
