I remember having a couple hundred megs of JPEGs of porn on my BBS.  I'd have
to know the person IRL to have access to it else I'd be afraid they'd tell my
parents (mind you, I was 14 through 16 at the time).  I knew one guy whose
parents were pretty well off and they got him a couple WORM drives.  He stashed
all his porn and warez on it and would put it online.  Even at 14.4Kbps or
16.8Kbps it still took forever to leach off of him.

Oh, and those that died, too many BBSers of my youth have passed.  Some got
stuck in the 80s and 90s and didn't know how to escape.  I feel bad for them
and their families but look at the world now...people are still getting stuck
in horrible ruts causing them to off themselves.  It's sad.
