    Hello there.

    I literally dug through the recesses of the internet to figure out how
    to connect to Usenet without getting scammed. Now I'm here. I've grown a
    bit of interest in forum-like spaces. Usenet and bbses (yes I'm aware
    forums succeed those, not the other way around) seem to fit that.

    Could somebody give me a rundown on BBSes, the software to connect to
    them, and what you do on them?
