On a vaguely related topic:

TIL there's a partial archive of FIDONet, a message board
predecessor/contemporary to early Usenet. It's in no way complete
(300K messages from 1993 to 1998) but so much of that era has been
lost that it's nice to see SOMETHING has been preserved.

And it's not like its nothing; it's a half-gigabyte text file.

I briefly read FIDONet before I moved onto to Usenet. But that was so
long ago I don't even remember what forums I was involved with.

Available here:
https://archive.org/details/fidonet_combined_execpc_starfleet_messages_1995_1999

I remember those. I remember reading Apogee posts. :)
