In earlier times, it was also easier to access the
net and BBSs when most
people were in bed. I can remember after many repeated attemps to access the
provider during peak periods, I would give up in frustration and log-in after
midnight. Some of the more popular BBSs would supply statistics to show the
best time to be able to access them. And of course it would also tie up your
own phone-line.
In my oppinion, better times, but that's just me.
I found that the best time for logging into my favourite BBSs (The Bad
Element II, Late Nite BBS, Liberty Line, etc) was before I left for school
in the morning (around 6:45).
