wondrous Boardwatch BBS magazine “top 100” boards in the united states from 1994. this was based on a reader’s choice vote-in.
the first two boards are (respectively) the homes of Apogee software and Epic MegaGames shareware publishers.
now just guess how many of the remaining 98 are porn boards!

@pixel@social.pixels.pizza now that i look at it, it kinda makes sense. almost all of the boards are running TBBS or wildcat or something else that is built for multi-node. i bet the only reason these mega-boards got a lot of votes is because they had a ton of readers/users.
