Hey everyone! I've been having fun messing around with ChivaNet services - you can look them up or add a ".org" onto "chivanet" for their website. They provide lots of retro-computer friendly services, for old Macs too! I signed into their AIM/AOL messenger revival service on my OS 9 machine and chatted with a random guy! It is the future! :p

Thought I'd point this out in case anyone else wants to hang out in AIM chatrooms like it's 2004 again or something! There are other services like this out there, what are some other ones apart from like, this site's Hotline service? Would love to hear about them!

i use NINA do have a chivanet account but the website and services went down a couple of months ago i *think* because of a DDoS attack??

Very sad that chivanet disappeared - Siena was providing quite a nice service for us retro folks: email, AIM, USENET, forums. Something to have a look at is Marisa Giancarlo's 'complex' of 'Retro OS' sites, list at https://retro-os.live/index.php/retro-os-sites. https://macos.retro-os.live/ and the hypercard sister site are likely the most appropriate and includes a whole bunch of services: email, BBS via http or telnet, FTP site, Hotline server, as well as forums.
