Mutt's site predated his forum by four years and has been around almost ten. Howard's didn't even last a year until shit got out of hand and he closed it.

Not to mention the Prodigy boards and whatnot.

yeah - 88-89 was about the start for me

I currently have a commodore modem sitting here and I'm picking up a commodore this weekend - now I just gotta find someone to play against!

I still have my 486 in working order too - just can't find a mouse or keyboard for it - think it has a 14.4 modem but I might have upgraded it to 56k - but i can't remember

Ministry bumper. FUCK YEAH.

I went to a Ministry show a few years back. One of the best shows ever. The venue was shit and looked like it was a barn converted into a music venue. They lost their liquor license and "mysteriously" burned down after. But the crowd was so diverse and laid back. No one acting like a douche.
