oh god i know exactly who you're talking about. iirc he got evicted and ran off to the woods with his tail between his legs over some awful poo poo that was somewhere on the libertarian <-> sex pest spectrum

Do people still post on Usenet? I thought it was basically the "keep it quiet" piracy network these days.

I never had the "pleasure" of working with this, but reading about it on Wikipedia makes it sound like an absolute disaster to manage.

Game used to make me lol so often, especially if you got Ghanji pissed off at you, he'd flood you with Propaganda and eventually you'd lose all your population.

haha amazing, you can telnet in and play LoRD and Global Wars.

I downloaded that file from Hot City BBS in about 1992 or so, most likely, but it was passed around a lot along with quite a lot of others.

Hot City was really awesome back in the day. I spent wayyyy too many hours on there.

I remember playing a pirated version of GTA IV when it first came out on the PC and the devs had figured a way to tell if the game was cracked and it would put you in drunk mode all the time. Not too fun, so I went out and bought it a few days later after seeing if there was ever going to be a fix.

Did defragging your hard drive actually speed it up or was that a placebo effect?
