Aye, the good old days of the temple. It was good while it lasted; wish I had discovered it earlier. Would've changed my teen years drastically.
Holy fuck I remember when that was originally posted. God that takes me back.
:hai: I joined totse.com when I was 14, it was glorious :hai:
In the early days, Jeff just had a certain kind of humor and extreme intelligence that was uncanny, and it showed in the way he set things up, and the presentation and materials you were provided as his LOGIN screens rolled across the monitor... always in stages... always delightful animation... always intelligent messages coming to you. And then once you were at the MENU tree (ALT+UPDOWNARROW+ENTER), you hit #5 for the TEXT files and there you were... a literal paradise of arcane information all at your fingertips... blueboxing, redboxing, blackboxing, hackers' delight, build weapons at midnight. It was ALL there, and all fresh and new material that worked like a charm in practical use. The WWW is what killed the dream, but it did usher in a new wave of minds, both dimwitted and gifted alike. We can only make the best of things as they are and move forward, so as the burning sun crawls across the face of the Earth inexorably, leaving night in its wake, so too we must boldly venture forward and make our way.
Those were the days.
While I did not find Totse until after WWW I do fondly recall the old dial up BBS days. I was doing Compuserve in 1983 with a 900 BAUD Acoustic modem on system with a z80 processor.
28.8 was the fastest possible on copper before compression.
Then came banner ads and shit:(
Totally killed my spiffy 56k :facepalm: state of the art modem.
Yeah and if you were on Windoze platform you had IE3x or Netscape which both sucked ass.
I think the reason I didn't join then was because I was worried you assholes would hack my puter. :facepalm:
You can get free energy if you are willing to put countless hours into building circuits and connecting coils to switches and magnets with motors and batteries. Pay money for all that stuff you need then maintain the project that will likely only yield 120% of the voltage you put into the system (minus the power used for the device to measure how much voltage you are getting out of the spinning magnets) this is if you're lucky and/or have a college degree
But yeah fucking totse is back, wonder where it went for those handful of years
(keep it to Half Baked, kid, please and thank you)
You really do sum it up perfectly dude. This is pretty much exactly how I felt when I first found this place, although I didn't have an account. It was amazing to find so much information in one place on all these fringe topics.
