Long before Reddit threads and Discord servers, knowledge was passed around in plain text. textfiles.com, created by Jason Scott in the late 1990s, is a sprawling archive of text files from the BBS era—covering hacking, phreaking, anarchy, warez, conspiracy theories, and every oddball subculture that thrived on dial-up lines.
