Is OH2 still down ?

Why would anyone want the headache of running a site like Oh2?

I would be curious what the service cost was as it is based on bandwidth and the more popular the site the more bandwidth used.

Some guys running Message Boards is a hobby as they use kludged hardware in their basement.

The guys I knew doing that stuff from like 10 years ago are now using their PC and hardware knowledge to mine BTC.

Also the Feds hunted down the folks running Backpage

Sounds like allot of legal bills.......a hard pass for me.

I am not a fan of the internet anymore.. LOL

Don't forget "the real" Backpage back when it was, well, the back page of those free newspapers here and there in the metal stands with the clear plastic covers. Had an okay massage from a lady who said I was a nice man. Can't remember what I said or did to merit that. Probably I was afraid it was a LE sting and was being careful.

Right here! Well kind of - Dallas observer or the ANE (I think that’s what it was called)

I used to advertise in those papers too!
I had so much fun back then,I was a lot more adventurous
in those days. How Funny.

I was looking at the Observer in the 80’s

Hmmm. Methinks i'll have to pick up the local indie newspaper and check out the classifieds.

A few months back I broke 2 phones in 2 days and was meeting a new client the new day. I was getting ready to leave my house and realized that I could not use my maps on my cell phone to get to their house. I was like WTF am I going to do. I did not have a printer so had to hand write out the directions on a piece of paper. Talk about old school. Haha!!
