capheind Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 While poking around a bit I found a page about the Hak5 BBS. Like everyone else (a couple of years ago) I happen to like BBS's and wanted to take a look, but it doesn't seem to be there. Any clue what happened to it? Was it just taken down due to the waning interest in BBS's? Or is it just down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnxr0x Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's been down for about a month now ... figures right after I created an account :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capheind Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Sad... Were they actually doing anything interesting or innovative with it? Or was it more just Retro-Computing reminiscing? I've intermittently played with both Gopher and BBS systems, and am always interesting in seeing interesting hacks on old systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshan Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 So have we figured out what happened to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrightcj01 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I know this thread is old but for the record all you needed to do was: "sudo chmod 777 [your file here]" you have to do that for most downloaded binarys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
