-
- THE HISTORY OF THE BBS USER
-
- A Musical Drama in -V- parts
-
-
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- -------------
-
- This is the first in a series that may go as long as five parts.
- This file and the other files in this series deal with really young
- computer users with modems, and the dangers of such a combination.
-
- While I, Dedaparamaxx, actually wrote this file while ROARING
- drunk, it has prompted the sequels that you can find wherever
- Dedaparamaxxaginos Productions files are sold.
-
- I, myself, don't think this is the funniest of them. In fact,
- looking back on it, I really don't even think it's very GOOD. But too
- many people liked it for me not to take notice.
-
- So, what did I do? I formed Dedaparmaxxaginos Productions. We
- started out with a staff of two and now have a staff of six. We're
- very proud of our work and have gone on to write other things BESIDES
- the DEAD?.DOC series.
-
- Even if you don't like this file, you are encouraged to read the
- other DEAD files in this series (to date, there are two others)
- because *I* find them to be a WHOLE lot funnier than this one.
-
- Of course, you may like this one too, who knows :)

- PART I
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I am a new uzer. I am ate yearz old and I have just gotten my
- first modem. I like to download lotsa files as long as you don't
- hafta upload in return. Pleez give me access on your bord.
-
- Joe Blow.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- I have given you minimal access in the kiddie file and message
- areas. We suggest that you learn to spell and learn your proper place
- in this community before attempting higher levels of access.
-
- SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I kant figure out how to D/L [note user's discovery of BBS
- abbreviations]. I have tried to use XModem with no sucsess, and then
- I tried ZModem and everything went kablooie. Please help me so that I
- can download your good filez.
-
- Joe Blow.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You're an idiot, but we like you. We think you have potential.
- I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to teach you how to use
- the file section, but you're going to learn to use it by UPLOADING
- [imagine teary-eyed face cringed with fear at this prospect]. Next
- time you log on, page me to chat and I'll show you how to upload a
- file.

- The SysOp is here!
-
- Hello, Joe!
-
- [ Long pause ]
-
- Heelo.
-
- Do you want me to show you how to upload, now?
-
- [ Another pause ]
-
- Yes.
-
- Okay...I'll walk you through it.

-
-

-
- See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
-
- Nnno.
-
- Well, to download, you do the same thing in reverse.
-
- Okay! Cool!
-
- By the way, what was it you uploaded, anyway?
-
- I don't know...I got it from one of my friends. It's something called
- a virus.
-
- NO CARRIER
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- I looked at the program you uploaded. If you ever upload a virus
- again, I'll kill you slowly, and your little dog too. You have a lot
- to learn, kid.
-
- The mildly pissed SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- PART II (one year later)
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I uploaded those files you asked me for. My upload ratio is now
- better than my download ratio. Can you pleez let me in on some of the
- better file areas?
-
- Joe
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- Okay. I think you deserve it. I'm going to let you into some of
- the other file areas.
-
- By the way, don't upload anything that has the words "cracked by"
- on it anymore. I could get in big trouble.
-
- By the way, a protocol is a way to transfer files, not a matter
- of etiquette.
-
- The SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- Okay. I just thought you might like that game. Something about
- those Amazon Women just appeeled to me.
-
- Joe
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You skip school to call here, don't you? Can't you call
- somewhere else for a change?
-
- The SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- You mean there are other BBSes out there? Why didn't you tell me
- about them before?
-
- Joe Blow
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You never were this annoying before. Try the "Weirdo's
- Hideaway", 555-6543.
-
- The SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ The user does not call for 7 weeks, as he discovers other BBSes ]
- [ Eventually, he decides to call back and batch upload all the warez ]
- [ That he collected on his leech festivals ]
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I learned how to phreak last week! It's a lot of phun and you
- don't have to pay when you download philes [ it is obvious that the
- kid has been calling California boards, where they spell all "f"
- sounds with "ph"]. Among the warez I'm uploading to you is a program
- called Code Thief. It will help you phreak too!
-
- Joe
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- Phreaking is a bad business. Don't you think they can figure out
- where those calls you are making are coming from? They can. I
- suggest you stop before you get yourself and your parents in trouble.
-
- Your SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- What's wrong with phreaking? It's not like it's illegal or
- anything.
-
- Joe.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You're so full of shit, you stink.
-
- Your SysOp
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- One of my friends that I met on a board in California [ see! we
- told you ] had something happen to him called "getting busted." What
- does that mean?
-
- Joe
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- It means that he was arrested. Probably for phreaking. He'll
- probably tell the feds that you phreak too in order to get a lighter
- sentence. You're fucked, kid. In fact, I'll probably delete you from
- here in case the feds start sniffing around.
-
- The SysOp.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ When the kid logs on next, he sees the following message ]
-
- Two four six eight, who do we appreciate?
-
- NOT YOU, NOT YOU, YEAH!
-
- Your access has been lowered to sub absolute zero. You are nothing.
- You can do nothing. Don't ever call here again or we'll shoot you
- with lime jello and throw you in a bathtub with Roseanne Barr.
-
- NO CARRIER
-
- Just kidding.
-
- NO CARRIER <click!>
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- PART III
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ About a month later, the kid calls the board under an assumed name ]
- [ By assumed name, I mean that the SysOp can do nothing but assume ]
- [ that it's the little leech. ]
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I am a new user and would like lots of access so I can upload and
- download. I don't use message bases because I think they're stupid.
-
- Joe Blow
-
- [ the kid realizes his mistake in putting his real name and tries in ]
- [ vain to use the message editor so he can remove his name and put ]
- [ in his alias ]
-
- ***
-
- [ He fails miserably and winds up with: ]
-
- Joe Blow Assumed Name How the Hell???? NO CARRIER
-
- W d
- h i I ?
- a d o
- t d
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You haven't learned anything in the past two years have you.
- You're an asshole. If you have a dog, I hope it dies.
-
- Fuck you.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- What do you mean? I am a new modem user. I have never called a
- BBS before.
-
- Assumed Name.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Assumed/Joe/Whatthefuckeveryournameis:
-
- You're a little liar. Go to hell and don't ever call here again
- or I'll rape your sister.
-
- Eat me.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- My sister's only 5 years old.
-
- [ SysOp breaks into chat ]
-
- The SysOp is here!
-
- That's all the better. I'll bring my shoehorn!!!
-
- [ Line noise, SysOp is screaming into phone with the wind of the big ]
- [ bad wolf ]
- NO CARRIER
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- PART IV, in which the kid stops calling the board for a time to lay
- low. In the interim, the feds have come to his house to question him.
- He cracks under their interrogation and spills everything. The little
- shit names the BBS he has been calling for the last two years as his
- favorite computer hang out. How stupid. He must be a cabbage or
- something.
-
- After cracking under the pressure of the FBI he calls the SysOp to
- warn him and to make ammends. He fails miserably. NO CARRIER.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- [ After several attempts at logging on under his real name (which has ]
- [ been locked out of the system) he uses the name John Smith (how ]
- [ original...remember the cabbage?) and leaves a message to the ]
- [ SysOp ]
-
- Dear SysOp:
-
- I just thought I'd warn you that someone tipped the feds off
- about your board and that they'll be coming to question you about your
- illegal activities. Maybe you should go into hiding.
-
- Joe Blow,
- Shit...how do you edit a line...fuck fuck fuck.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Dear Joe:
-
- You little prick!!!!!! What the hell did you tell them. I don't
- run no illegal board. I think I'll shoot you AND rape your sister and
- kill your little dog, too. As a matter of fact, I'm on my way. Shit,
- there's a knock at the door. It BETTER not be the feds.
-
- Fuck you eat me suck my dick you little fucker.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- PART V, in which the kid and the SysOp make a court appearance and
- exchange heated words.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The courtroom is filled with credit card frauders and phreakers,
- much to the SysOp's dismay because it makes him look bad. The only
- thing that keeps going through his mind (driving him nuts) is "Good
- morning, the worm, your honor." He wishes he had a shotgun so he
- could shoot the kid. He does, however, have his shoehorn.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- PROSECUTOR: Mr. SysOp, you have a user on your BBS system named Joe
- Blow, is this correct.
-
- SYSOP : No, I used to, but I locked the little shit out.
-
- DEFENSE : Objection your honor, he's a little prick, not a little
- shit.
-
- JUDGE : Sustained. Mr. SysOp, I will kindly ask you to keep your
- answers truthful.
-
- [ Welcome to hell. How DO you like it??????? ]
-
- KID : I'm not either of those things!
-
- JUDGE,
- PROSECUTOR,
- DEFENSE,
- SYSOP,
- in unison : YES YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!
-
- [ the kid shuts up ]
-
-
- KID : He sells stolen credit cards!
-
- JUDGE : Is this true, Mr. SysOp?
-
- SYSOP : Absolutely not! The kid's a liar!
-
- PROSECUTOR: Your honor, we would like a recess to build a case
- against Mr. SysOp.
-
- SYSOP : WHAT? You're going to believe this little fucker?
-
- DEFENSE : OBJECTION!
-
- JUDGE : Sustained! The court has already established that the
- little fucker is a little prick.
-
- DEFENSE : Your honor, we move for a mistrial!
-
- JUDGE : Fuck you, this court is in recess.
-
-
- [ The trial drags on and the kid's parents are finded copious amounts]
- [ of money, and the SysOp goes to jail for credit card fraud because ]
- [ the kid couldn't think of anything else to say about the SysOp to ]
- [ save his ass. ]
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- EPILOGUE
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Two years later, the SysOp got out of jail, but was promptly sent
- back on charges of raping a seven-year old girl, shooting the kid, and
- killing a little dog. He was sentenced to die in the electric chair,
- but went with a big grin on his face.
-
- The kid went to hell, where all little leeches eventually go.
- His sister went to hell too, and sold shoehorns for a living.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- THE MORAL
-
- SysOps: THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU! Don't let nine-year-olds on
- your BBSes! Ban the little leech!
