  • how you found out about a new board

    From pweck@23:1/1 to All on Friday, September 25, 2026 17:11:51
    before search engines existed, how did you actually discover new boards
    to call

    was it word of mouth from a friend, a printed list someone handed you, an ad inside a door game, or something else entirely...

    discovery must have felt so different back then compared to now, and
    how it actually worked for people in different regions and eras.
