BBS Dumps

BBS Image and Text dumps. There is a Telnet server for those wishing to view most of the images directly, serving dumps of the BBS images. This server is hosted by someone in the IRC: 71.48.33.49:379 (open in RAW mode, not Telnet mode).

[edit] Some Text BBS Logs

Each individual record starts with a small header, containing the filename and filesize. The filesize seems to be accurate. Testing (by copy-pasting into Notepad++) has shown some inaccuracy, but not much (ex: 568 where the log stated 570). The meaning of the filenames is still unknown...

This one's important, folks, so no skimmin'. Cave Johnson here, your boss and
founder of Aperture Science?the best damn applied sciences company on Earth.
How good is the science here? Get a load a? this: as of this morning, I am
dead!

Now, yer probably askin? yourself, "Cave, come on now, how is this possible?
Are you some manner of Dracula? Or Frankenstein? Or dependin? on yer cultural
heritage, a Blackula or Latin Frankenstein?"gh632jj3

ksjdo sir! It's science.  Thanks to our diligent Aperture engineers, I am

Re: Human Enrichment & Testing Initiative, Resource Acquisitions

1.            "Low Risk" Human Resource Acquisitions

a.            Hoboes and Tramps
Lives spent wandering aimlessly, cowering before authority, and drinking
concussive amounts of home-distilled potato alcohol make hoboes the perfect
Human Enrichment test subjects. The hobo questions nothing, will follow orders
if fed, and, like all hoboes, has a restless, wandering heart. (Note: The
wandering heart of the hobo should not be confused with Drifting Heart
Syndrome, which several transients contracted during testing.)

b.            Child Orphans and Foundlings
Deep-rooted abandonment issues leave most orphans highly susceptible to
shame-based psychology (for a complete list of opportune moments to obliterate
the esteem of test subjects, please consult Training Video #89-D, "You'd
Perform This Test Better if You Had Parents"). Recent advances in the use of
scorn, flattery used in an ironic context and naked contempt as motivational
tools have yielded similarly profitable results. 

c.             Psychiatric Patients
Past experience shows these fellows are simply not shy at all about carrying
on, disrupting tests and defecating just about anywhere that pleases them.
Frankly, itís off-putting, and small wonder why Aperture-brand mental
institutions are being phased out in favor of more orphanages.

d.            Seniors
Frail, brittle hands make holding science devices difficult. Most were born
before the advent of science, and can become confused and disoriented when
asked to participate in relatively simple tests (teleportation, invisibility,
adjusting esteem levels of orphan children).

&&^521762 jsow remind you that Aperture Science is built on three pillars.
Pillar one: Science without results is just witchcraft. Pillar two: Get
results or you're fired. Pillar three: if you suspect a coworker of bein' a
witch, report them immediately. I cannot stress that enough. Witchcraft will
not be tolerated.

A lot of you have been raising concerns about the so-called "dangers" of what
we're all doing here. The beancounters told me to tell you that as of today,
testing will no longer be as mandatory or as dangerous. That's not gonna
happen, and here's the reason:

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: Why is so much of our
science dangerous? I say: Why not marry safe science if you love it so much.
In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt
on the way out, because you are fired.

Plus, in the event of your death, I personally guarantee that, thanks to the
form you were required to sign this morning, your family will not suffer the
indignities of a prolonged and costly legal battle against Aperture Science.
Trust me, I am rich, and it is a burden I would not wish on anyone.
