#introduction Greetings from Mist! We started releasing artpacks in the #BBS PC underground in '94, full of #ANSIart, #ASCIIart, #MODmusic etc., probing the early Internet (1st homepage on Geocities, many hours spent on IRC) but drying up by the turn of the century in the BBS/CLI to Web/GUI transition... stewing in nostalgia until a reunion for our 20th in 2014 ... we got back releasing artpacks again -- now w/ vintage #textmode art fellow traveler forms such as #PETSCII, #ShiftJIS & #teletext!
@mistfunk I was a citizen of geocities.
@AlbertCashiersCousin Looks like we were part of the virtual Athens neighbourhood, no idea why. Here's our '90s Geocities homepage, pulled from the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20011213101535/http://www.geocities.com:80/Athens/1758/mist.html
Our current minimalist homepage at mistigris.org is positively sophisticated by comparison!
@mistfunk I think I asked the wayback machine to remove mine, some time back, for privacy reasons.
@AlbertCashiersCousin Our old website is full of what is now considered sensitive information -- personal e-mail addresses and private phone numbers -- which would be privacy concerns now if anyone was still using the same addresses and numbers a quarter-century later. Fortunately, that's not the case! (But maybe the current holders of those numbers bitterly curse our name 8)
