    This one kinda slipped me by unnoticed - Compuserve Forums were discontinued on Dec 15th last. Links here and here.
    I shed a silent tear. :(

    Then again, it's not as if I'd used them in more than 20 years, I was fairly surprised to see they were still on the go.

    I was even more surprised that my CompuServe ID came straight back to me.

    Unfortunately I can't find my fist Webpage, proudly written in HTML 1.0 using Notepad on Win3.1 and uplinked from a ship in the Atlantic via Inmarsat in 1993.
    Wayback Machine doesn't seem to have bothered archiving my effort.

    Anyone else here cut their social media teeth on the likes of AOL, Compuserve or other dial-up BBS?

    In loving memory 198? - 2017 - 100412.2526@compuserve.com

    An acquaintance had an important role in compuserve for the Ireland region around 1997. Contemporary OS's of compuserve were Windows 3.1, Windows 95. By the time the first version of Windows 98 was being distributed with new pc's by Microsoft, "the writing was on the wall" for compuserve and AOL for that matter.
