doctor_x Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 http://www.8bitunderground.com is online! Software: modded invision board Hours: 24/7 Speed: 10/mbps Storage: unlimited Affils: Old School Underground Fone Federation (OSUFF) HQ! The 8-bit Underground is a community that has been put together to hopefully reassemble a number of users from across the world who were involved in using the various 8/16-bit platforms for underground activities such as hacking/phreaking/warez back in the golden age of BBS's in the 80's and 90's. All 8 and 16 bit platforms are supported and have their own sub areas within the forums to keep conversation segregated. This site will have a goal of catalogging and archiving the various software applications that were used (code scanners, wardialers, telenet scanners, host programs developed exclusively for trading "warez", disk communicators, etc) much in the same way that Jason Scott devoted a site to catalogging and archiving all BBS software. The site is absolutely brand new, and as such it will take some time to develop a userbase and also discussion. I will be implementing a downloads system that will be used for showcasing the software that myself and the users are able to contribute and this should be available within the next week if not sooner. While we will be discussing software that was used for less savory activities, this board is NOT about illegal information in any way. It is more a museum for the tools of the trade of yesteryear. My hope is that this site will flourish and maybe even bring people together that haven't "seen" each other in years. If nothing else, it will provide a central repository for a type of software that has never been made available in such a grand fashion before. We look forward to seeing you there - 300 baud NOT required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) The registration page is near impossible to read in Firefox. Might give the site a look 'round (and having said that, a bit of a pain to have to register to be able to read the Forums). The jumbled letters rego anti-automation thing doesn't seem to work either (hate those things). Edited February 15, 2009 by Rybags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Registration has to be approved!?! You won't get many people bothering to hang around if manual intervention is needed before someone can log on. ed - forget that... I did the validation code thing. Now, in what appears to be the Forum, but seems to be nothing there, can't start topics. Can't view any that already exist.

doctor_x Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Rybags.. It all works. Your account most likely hadn't been validated yet when you saw "nothing".. It has been validated now. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The registration page is near impossible to read in Firefox. Yeah, some of the text on the registration page is nearly invisible. Here's a screenshot: ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
