    some BBSes.

    We could post about how we wished our BBSes got more "calls".


    Ahh.. the laments of a modern day sysop ;)

    I largely consider this little hobby to be moreso for Me. Anyone else
    that joins in the fun is a side benefit (Anyone Welcome!). I have a
    couple semi regular callers.. no clue what they do.. certainly aren't
    posting messages though :)

    The BBS is really just about scratching an itch that I have for
    configuring old bbs stuff and letting it fly.. tweaking the little
    things I like and effectively pretending as though I am running a bbs.
    If it catches on, cool.. if not.. well.. ok.. boo... but.. okay..
    :\

    I tell ya tho.. the little rush I got when I had this ol girl polling
    FDN networks super quick was great! Like riding a bike!

    Just letting you know that your posts to alt.bbs.ads are in ANSI, which is
    not welcome in USENET groups. I sent you a netmail about that, but never received a response. Post an ASCII ad instead, please.
