In the mid 90s when bbses were in their third wave (very popular but the death of bbsing was near) I was an avid user of bbses and I was the cosysop of many popular boards.

I then setup my own bbs after a bunch of them went down and it became the most popular in my city.

There was a user who was a grown man who called himself 'plastic'.
his fetish was to be wrapped naked in plastic or something like that.
Right away he started messaging people on my bbs who he knew were young.

He probably thought that since he was doing it in the games, it was hard to see or maybe prove in court. he was probably right because these games don't create a chat log and after a person gets an 'in game message' it disappears after they read it.

Anyways, he said 'hi, i'm plastic, etc' and explained what he wanted to do.
I told him he was a pedophile and scared him off.

He started going on bbses in another town, calling long distance (which got expensive back then).  I followed him to those bbses and one bbs that
wouldn't get rid of him argued that they didn't want to lose people.  this was
a pay bbs.

Bedlam hills resort bbs in kenosha.

Oh, i looked him up (I still remember his full name including middle initial,
it was burned in my brain even though this was the mid 90s)

Good to see the perv is dead. i hope he didn't hurt any kids but I expect he did. I never reported him to the police because I didn't have concrete evidence and there was a lot of ignorance about bbses and what i was doing.

I thought giving him a good scare would have been effective.
