Much thanks to Macki, who held down the BoingBoing guestbar in inimitably 1337 fashion for the past couple of weeks. Female fans, please stop tossing your digital panties at the blog. Because sadly, the mothership landed early today, beckoning him back with great haste to whatever planet he came from. We’ll miss you, Macki. Now, BoingBoing welcomes a new guestbar tenant — and he’s gonna kick it old-school style.

Jason Scott runs textfiles.com, a collection of BBS-era textfiles that have turned from a side project into a foundation for about dozen other computer history related sites. Besides the original project he has also been maintaining a list of all North American BBSes in
history and has spent the last two and a half years filming and
editing a documentary about
BBSes. Throughout his journey into the past, he’s unearthed
some pretty interesting stuff. Welcome, Jason!
