Capital Station BBS

I was watching Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey over last weekend so naturally when I saw this name I said to myself "STATION!" (Was a saying of victory based on the scientist/"Martian" named Station)
So Capitol Station BBS first visit...

So here is the local flavor of the message bases, at least with the new user access: No messages in them. :/ I left a mess
So it's 2017 and contrary to popular belief, computer bulletin boards still exist. Computer Bulletin Board Systems? Something I've done since 1983, inspired by the movie Wargames with Matthew Broderick that came out during that same year. So what is a bulletin board system (BBS)? Think Facebook or some social media place. Now if you were talking about during the dial-up era in the 70s, 80s, and 90s that would have been a computer that people in the same dialing area would have called
