wondrous Boardwatch BBS magazine "top 100" boards in the united states from 1994. this was based on a reader's choice vote-in.

the first two boards are (respectively) the homes of Apogee software and Epic MegaGames shareware publishers.

now just guess how many of the remaining 98 are porn boards!

@vga256@dialup.cafe I see at least one that is, and I know because I remember connecting to it.

@foone@digipres.club i'm fascinated that the Pleasure Dome shares the same name as an austrian hacker board which was famous as well https://demozoo.org/bbs/2949/

@vga256@dialup.cafe And not one running Telegard. ☹️

@pixel@social.pixels.pizza now that i look at it, it kinda makes sense. almost all of the boards are running TBBS or wildcat or something else that is built for multi-node. i bet the only reason these mega-boards got a lot of votes is because they had a ton of readers/users.

@vga256@dialup.cafe It’s a trick question. They all have porn downloads.
