For what it's worth, if the 8-bitters are shitting on the
16-bitters these days, it's almost certainly just in retaliation
for the unmitigated amounts of crap 16-bitters gave 8-bitters
back in the day. :D Oh, how the turns have tabled.

For what it's worth, I never did that (unless it was in jest!). Not
really sure what grounds 8bitters would have to dump on the later
machines, TBH.

It's just the family drama... Daddy went to live with his new Amiga and
we got a new Stepdaddy Tramiel.
Though I think from the BBS standpoint, it might have been that by the
time the 16 bits came into prominence (especially in BBS land) they had
moved away from BBS's and perhaps on to PCs. Probably why there is less nostalgia for them except from the crowd who actually stuck with the
Atari (or Commodore/Apple) machines longer and ran BBSs under those
platforms.
