I've tried many times to get an account on PTT2/3, but they require you to be a citizen and use 2factor auth - even with a translation software, I couldn't get in...

They used to have 300,000 ACTIVE users and have remained online this entire time with what I think we'd consider heavy usage even through today.

I wish I could get in... there was a great article a decade ago that displayed many of their art over the years - a PETSCII/ANSi style that was really impressive.

Felt like a corporate BBS, even bigger, with mods and co-sysops helping with the community.
