This is an archive of the files found at textfiles.com[1], made available via
|
||
|
|
Gemini.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are files pulled from various BBSes, all over the place, over the period
|
||
|
|
that they were active (early 80s to mid 90s).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's all kinds of things to be found in here: science fiction and obsolete
|
||
|
|
hacking guides, directories of long-dead BBSes and howtos on making bombs,
|
||
|
|
erotica and conspiracy theories, recipe books and tech magazines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, I suspect there's a fair number of broken files. I managed to grab most of
|
||
|
|
them, but I did run into some issues with encodings and some dead links on the
|
||
|
|
site.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hopefully you can find something that catches your interest. Good luck!

them. Likewise, the owner of textfiles.com makes no copyright claim[2], on the

* I have made no attempt to vet the file contents; some of them are sure to be
|
||
|
|
offensive. A lot of them were specifically _designed_ to be offensive: we'd
|
||
|
|
call a lot of these shitposts today. There are whole sections dedicated to the
|
||
|
|
creation of weapons and explosives. FFS please don't follow those
|

instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Likewise, a lot of these files are dedicated to w4r3z and software piracy.
|
||
|
|
They're clearly obsolete, but interesting for historical reasons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* There is sexually explicit material, including ASCII 'nudity'.
