    I can remember the days when some BBS software on what are now "retro" systems defaulted to ~40 chars/line. I am not sure what it would look like if it got quoted a bunch of times in a reply thread, but the
    original and "first quoting" didn't break anything here.

    There is a new bbs running on an old apple ii, and old retro system is so
    user unfriendly. The name is piss shit and come bbs.

    Yeah, back in the 1980s there used to be a popular board where I lived that
    was an apple ii board. I don't remember what software it ran, but it was
    very, very different than all of the GT Power, WWIV, PC Board, or Commodore boards that were around then.
