This is actually really cool. I've thought about building a BBS like service on the modern web but still having the old feeling. Your design might work for something like this. It has a bit of the feel, at least.
I love the fading as you scroll, it gives that nostalgic feeling of a modem drawing the screen.
Anyway, nice work, I enjoyed scrolling through it.
I actually installed Mystic BBS (http://www.mysticbbs.com/) just this week and had a telnet/ssh board up in minutes. Thought it’d be fun to work on a system like this in a modern language, but figured it’d likely be a colossal waste of time.
