    ... because the CBBS hardware and software supported only a single modem for most of its existence, users had to take turns accessing the system, each hanging up when done to let someone else have access.

    It's the aspect ratio due to it being an old video. Should resize though. 😕 Maybe @Julian can recommend a workaround once he's fixed his pull request on the plugin. 😛

    That's pretty much how all the old-school BBS's ran back in the day. I was running WWiV on C++ doing my own mods and compiles in the middle of the night after everyone logged in for their daily turns on the games.
