BBSes were great, and we got another burst of this kind of artistic and creative culture during the early days of the web. I hope it happens again somehow.
At this point I'm curious: do you know the guy who commented this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20598122 and did you know he was an artist for CiA before he commented or was this one of those "surprise!" moment for you guys?
