This is an excellent bit of internet history. You can see text files written 30 years ago on this site. Stay on it long enough and you'll go far down the rabbit hole. I found these two articles written by our old admin Jeff Hunter.

And right below that a .anc file which you have to download for some reason. I assume it's ASCII art. In case you ever wondered where &Totse was located, this file has the old number and location, &TOTSE 510-935-5845 9600 RA 1.11+ Walnut Creek, CA. Get ready to jump in the way back machine.

Re: A slice of internet history
It was totse's text files that first brought me to this site. totse use to have the best text file repository on the web.
Re: A slice of internet history
Absolutely. The text files originally brought me to Totse as well, and I was still reading them right up to the day it closed. Some of that erotica was VERY well written, and I'm sad I never submitted the shit I wrote back in the day.
