I lovingly crafted this 100% realistic early 90s internet simulator so the young folks can get a feel for how I spent my teens. (squabbles.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com)

I had a scam involving that- I would download porn pics from the internet at campus computer labs (I was still in high school, but it was hard to stop anyone who wanted to from using the labs, especially at 2 am) and then upload them to BBSes and I'd get a huge ratio and be able to download a shit ton of games. So I got spank material and was able to play a bunch of games for free.
