They will be. The Atari ST scene will be the heart of the story, but we also take the journey back to the 8-bit era on the C64 and deliver sidekicks to Apple II, Atari XL, Amstrad CPC and Sinclair Spectrum. Also Amiga insiders joined in. |

Just want to add similar experience. I ran a USA BBS for a couple of years, advertised in cracktros for Defjam, Paranoimia, and M.A.D. All Piracy; was not on any LE radar as far as I knew. I screened applicants for 0 day warez to be sure they were active in the scene. Thats it. Never had so much as a phone call from LE about it.
I did get busted, but it was for outbound phreaking. Shortly after our neighborhood went digital (call forwarding, caller ID etc) they paid me a visit. The police saw my setup when they came to my house ... didn’t care one bit about pirated software. Only the “theft of services” they got me for. Fun times, ha. |

Btw. I started late 80s. Blueboxing was already dead, at least for me. I did my biz mainly with 950’s codes, 800# phone cards, and the occasional pbx or diverter for the good stuff like Alliance Teleconferencing. Social engineering on AT&T phone cards for friends in Europe.

@Malachi: Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Do you, by any chance, have a backup of your BBS?

I don't actually remember. Was pretty basic, not a lot of extra features, as the board was exclusively about spreading cracks. I can probably figure it out if I play with the BBS software on TOSEC. Haven't had a chance to.
Shortly before I got busted, I had also switched over to running it on PC so I could free up my Amiga. No idea there either. |

thanks for the info. I am interested because I was part of the warez bbs scene in the later years when everyone ran Ami-Express and in the last couple of years I have been redeveloping Ami-express with permission from the original rights holder. Just wondered what people used before Ami-Express came along. |

In the early 90's, certain international toll-free 0130 numbers (later these were changed to 0800 prefix) were still usable from Germany for blueboxing, because the foreign telephone system still used in-band-signalling. Later, filters were applied to notch out the frequencies used for blueboxing.
