when I was in high school, we had been battling on the pdp11 (running rsts), and when they finally upgraded to vax/vms they just gave up and gave us a small vax system to ourselves to battle on. it was much less disruptive than the hijinks we had previously been up to.

of course, this was in the days when pad-pad was a thing out in the real world, so false logins on vt100/vt220 terminals was all too easy to fake.

I am still thankful that they decided to set that up (we even had physical machine access) - such a better solution than just letting us go wild on the local network.
