- The BackYard
- ------------
-
- First thing. I know I said these files are designed to make you think
- about something or another and they are. This one is no different than
- the others and hopefully people will catch what I am trying to get across.
- Next, the BackYard is used in this, but apply this story to any board that
- doesn't give access or NUPs out to anyone. I am not trying to boost my
- ego or anything like that. Just a simple story and not much more.
-
- It was late. REAL late. The clock that sat next to his computer said
- it was almost 11:44. Way past his bedtime, he risked facing his parents
- in order to try it. He had been planning it for days now. Tonight, he was
- going to do it, he was actually going to call the BackYard. With any luck,
- he would be validated by tommorow night.
- The lights were all off in his bedroom, and he was making sure to keep
- absoultely quiet. For days now he had worked as hard as he could to find
- the elusive phone number that would connect him to the BackYard. He had
- mailed all of his friends trying to find out who ran this mysterious board
- and what number it was at. He had even found out there was a new user
- password he would have to get past. But that was no trouble, for he was
- a hacker. He just knew he could get past that and be on his way to all sorts
- of neato files he could leech away at.
- Nine more minutes and he would call. It would be midnight then, and he
- could call and be one of the hyper-elite. He quickly glanced over his
- shoulder to make sure that his parents hadn't walked in to check on him.
- He sat there in his Superman pajamas waiting quietly. His walls were adorned
- with nintendo posters, middle school awards, and other stuff that was k00l.
- His computer desk was full of newly obtained disks of warez and he was
- just waiting to get more!
- Just today he had gotten the mail he wanted to see. It was from his best
- friend and the best hacker he knew. It was his best friend, Tommy, aka
- Leecher. His friend had DLed a file called FUCK0001.TXT. He didn't dare DL
- such a file because his parents would ground him from his computer for a
- year if they found out. PREDATOR. It was so simple. But it was the new user
- password for the BackYard, and would let him get on and get the account he
- so dearly wanted.
- Twelve o'clock! The time had come. He hit enter, and BitComm did the rest.
- He watched each number pass slowly....the number rang...and he heard the
- tell tale whistle of carrier being sent. He had never heard a more beautiful
- sound in his 11 and a half years. CONNECT 1200 scrolled out across his
- screen. He had connected to the BackYard! He almost yelled out but quickly
- silenced himself and looked around to make sure he hadn't been found out. A
- moment passed and no one came to his door so he figured he was safe.
- The title screen scrolled by so fast and he looked at it and studied
- each and every bit of it. He moved his trembling hands to his keyboard and
- slowly typed in the word, NEW. As expected, it asked him for the new user
- password. He typed as fast as he coul. P-R-E-D-A-T-O-R. The next second was
- the longest of his life, and he waited a lifetime for the response it seemed.
- "Welcome..." flashed on his screen. He had made it! He was a user on the
- hyper-elite board known as the BackYard.
- Boy would his friends be jealous! He slowly read all of the text that ran
- across his screen. So much to read but he just knew it would pay off. It
- took him almost 20 minutes to read the three pages of text. Some of it was
- legal stuff that he didn't quite understand, but the second part was about
- the board and the rules of it. He read and re-read each one to make sure
- he could remember them. The last thing he wanted was to break a rule on this
- board and get kicked off. Another [PAUSE] and it stopped. Ansi? What was
- that? Hmmm. Since he wasn't sure, he decided to hit N. A second later and
- it came to that dreaded time. He had to enter his handle. This question had
- kept him thinking for days now, whether or not to use a new one or an old
- one or something he had heard before. His mind was made up...BLACKBEARD. No
- one would guess who it was.
- He was tense, more tense than he had ever been. He slowly read, and typed
- and answered every question put to him. He was honest, boy was he honest.
- Lying just wasn't the thing to do, especially lying about stuff like his
- phone number, age, and all that. This sysop wouldn't erase him for lying!
- Seconds later and it was validation letter time. This was the only other
- thing that had crossed his mind these past few days. This was it...
-
- HELLO!!! AS YOU CAN SEE I AM NEW TO THIS BOARD. I GOT THE NUMBER FROM
- A REAL GOOD HACKER AND HE TOLD ME HOW TO GET ON THIS BOARD SO HERE I AM!!!
- I LIKE TO PLAY GAMES AND DOWN LOAD FILES BUT I EVEN UP LOAD FILES TOO! I
- WILL BE A GOOD USER I PROMISE SO GIVE ME A LOT OF ACCESS TO EVERYTHING ON
- THIS GREAT BOARD!
-
- BYE!!!
- BLACKBEARD!

-
- With the final enter he finished it off. It was only a day before he would
- be validated and he could call back and see everything he had been missing.
- He was too excited to do much more and besides, he had school tommorow. With
- a few keystrokes, he dropped carrier and went to bed.
-
- Far across town, in some obscure college dorm, on the sixth floor, a
- slight chuckle could be heard followed by a single "click". If you knew the
- keyboard well, and had good ears, you would know it was the 'D' key being
- hit.
-
-
- As I said. I am not really thinking my board is cool. It is better than
- a few of the boards in the area and such but who gives a shit. Anyway, the
- point of all this is just to make you think about how trivial being on one
- BBS is. I mean, you have access to a few more files, a few more subs to post
- drivel on, a few more g-files to read. Just don't make it a big issue to get
- on a board. Hell, I do it to so this is sorta "do as I say, not as I do".
