Many BBSes back then, were sharing illegal content, cracked apps, serial numberz etc. There were times, that even people got caught by the police, bbses closed down and many parents were angry... but as time passed and BBSes got obscure, also the warez scene changed a bit. The main change is that no one is sharing the software itself, but links on where to get them, which usually are in some file hosting services or nowdays in torrent sites. This is understandable and a nice way to get rid of the il-legal stuff. So why BBSes don't use this way? Whats the difference between a forum, a blog, a site, that shares links to illegal stuff, with a bbs that can also can do the same and perhaps even better. Honestly i believe that is a great time/opportunity for BBSes to make a come back in the warez scene. All its need, is sharing links ;) echoareas with links directing to file hosting services can be done, very easy. Another way is to provide torrent files and use the BBS as a Torrent Search Engine. The torrent files, can be downloaded from the net, from other search engines. Users can logon to a bbs get the torrent file and then download the software in their pc/machine. Hosting pirated software isn't a good idea, but i am very curious to see, if companies have a look at our way, for pirated soft. even now days. I mean... for the rest of the world BBS, doesn't even exist :) Another advantage of BBSes today, is that they use encryption, like SSH. So all transactions can be done under heavy encryption, which in the past didn't exist. If you add the factor, that the users of BBSes are very few and most of them, have computer knowledge and are trusted people, then you have the perfect "enviroment" for sharing this type of software. Even more, because BBSes can restrict access, with security levels, the warez can be shared among a few, even more trusted people of the sysop and not just with anyone that logs into a bbs. So, in a world that closes down websites, for offering roms, movies, music etc. i believe a BBS is an opportunity for those who dare ;) + --- -- - . - --- --- --- - . - -- ---' _____ _ _ ____ _ _ | _ |___ ___| |_| |_ ___ ___ | \ ___ ___|_|_| | 8888 | | | . | _| | -_| _| | | | _| . | | . | 8 888888 8 |__|__|_|_|___|_| |_|_|___|_| |____/|_| |___|_|___| 8888888888 8888888888 DoNt Be aNoTHeR DrOiD fOR tHe SySteM 88 8888 88 8888888888 /: HaM RaDiO /: ANSi ARt! /: MySTiC MoDS /: DooRS '88||||88' /: NeWS /: WeATheR /: FiLEs /: SPooKNet ''8888"' /: GaMeS /: TeXtFiLeS /: PrEPardNeSS /: FsxNet 88 /: TuTors /: bOOkS/PdFs /: SuRVaViLiSM /: ArakNet 8 8 88888888888 888 8888][][][888 TeLNeT : andr01d.zapto.org:9999 [UTC 11:00 - 20:00] 8 888888##88888 SySoP : xqtr eMAiL: xqtr@gmx.com 8 8888.####.888 DoNaTe : https://paypal.me/xqtr 8 8888##88##888
