As a follow-up to my previous post: Did you know that since a few weeks, it is possible to comment on #BBS entries on demozoo.org? Get yourself a SceneID account, log in, and share your memories of your old favourite boards - or maybe even your own, if you were a #sysop ! Try it out, like here: https://demozoo.org/bbs/3/ (scroll all the way down to the comment field!)

It's awesome to see how this decentralized network(s) spread over wide parts of the globe back in the 1980s and 1990s, to areas where we would not even assume scene activity: https://conspiracy.hu/minisites/demozoo-bbs-map/

Enjoy the Sunday while browsing demoparty-related materials: flyers, wristbands, votekeys, posters etc. from over three decades! The oldest object is from 1992, the latest is just one day old (from Mountainbytes in Switzerland which took place this weekend). Contributions this time stem from Cthulhu, Dipswitch, JAL, and Moon. A particularly special document is the internal organiser info sheet from Takeover 1999 & 2000 (in Dutch).

Not only are we back, but we also have exciting news: HBH, a Norwegian C64 scener active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, sent us a full box of letters and flyers. The treasure trove is currently being scanned and will start appearing here very soon. Here’s a sneak peek: Brainstorm, a small C64/Amiga paper zine published in 1988 by the Dutch C64 group Fire-Eagle. Only an advert demo for it has survived, the mag itself was considered lost. https://gotpapers.scene.org/?p=4062

#introductions
hi, dipswitch here, demoscener since 1997, ascii artist, musician and scene archivist.
member of a bunch of demo/art groups on pc & amiga, long-time co-organiser of the evoke demoparty, and admin team member of demozoo & scene.org.
i fell in love with the fediverse a couple of weeks ago as it reminds me a lot on the principles BBSs used to function.
here i'll primarly toot about the scene excavations i'm doing while trawling through old BBS backups and so on.
