Oh man, this reminds me of my first shell account, and SDF, and the actual reason I got into computers. So excited. Maybe I could write a little communication API-type thing that these kinds of shell servers could implement, so communities could be linked together in some way? Hmm. That would be cool. I think I just found a good reason to mess around with Rust.
It's been a wonderful weird little thing so far, with folks having a mix of nostalgia for and first exposure to shell account stuff, playing around with oldschool webbery, hacking little things together across user accounts, and just generally being great people in a nice place. I got inspired yesterday and wrote us up our own custom low-rent version of Flappy Bird: http://www.tilde.club/~cortex/js/tildebird/
If I could upvote this a 1,000 times I would. Here's to nostalgia! Anyone doing a vetted version of this, now that I would (not literally I might add NSA) kill for.
Vetted?
Vetting is the opposite of Twitter/Reddit et al.
“That’s a west coast thing,” said Mo, who grew up in California. “You use tildes instead of colons or dashes, it’s more like handwriting.” Interesting. I also grew up in California but never saw the tilde used as a colon or dash. I thought it was more used as a replacement for periods when the author wanted to come off as light/flirty/caring/sing-song.

For you young 'uns itching for the headaches of yesteryear SDF has been kicking, in one form or another, since 1987. Yep, you can also setup a vanity (~) page(s). http://sdf.org/index.cgi?faq%3FBASICS%3F11 or dive into the wonders of Gopher space http://sdf.org/?tutorials/gopher
