The Snobsoft BBS has recently seen a surge of interest from American users, bringing fresh engagement to this classic 1985 bulletin board system. A new video on the Quipzz channel captures one user’s journey as they navigate the German-language interface, overcoming challenges like formatting quirks and a full user list. With the help of an English command guide, the visitor successfully registered as Droid Mic and even joined the Snobsoft chat. Their persistence highlights how a 40-year-old system can still foster international connections, even at 300 baud. The experience was also a nostalgic moment for Christian, Snobsoft’s original sysop, who now resides in the U.S. For those intrigued, the full-length video dives deeper into the enduring legacy of Snobsoft BBS.
