Firstclass allowed admins to create custom clients with resources (icons, backgrounds). I ran a board with something like four users when I was a teen. I dreamed of turning it into a thriving multi-line operation. Then AOL gave way to real home internet and there was no need.
The Hotline board that I ran once I had a cable modem was just straight warez and mp3s. I miss that era, where there was a sense of community in small subsets of the internet. They’re prolly still there in some form and I’ve just outgrown them or aged out.
