Where was I... ah yes ! The beginning.
I got tired of the same old maximus boards.. I was looking for bigger and better stuff.
By then, I was good friends with the owner of a video store.. little did I know he was the sysop (system operator) of Hellraiser: one of the biggest pirate boards in my province. It was an 8 node board. Not too shabby for the time ! (8 node simply means 8 users could be on at the same time..)
My heart must've skipped a beat when he proposed to let me in his board ! I instantly accepted and he gave me the ring-up (the number that directed you to any free node to connect).
That night, I tried to get on : alot of busy signals until... MODEMS CLASHING AND CONNECTING. What a beautiful sound..
I checked my user info and wowey ! I had leech !!! LEECH !!!
(leech means you can download as much as you want for as long as you want)
A new pirate was born
