    Sorry one of my replies didn't go well. You mentioned how much you did to promote bbsing. It amazes me how much work you put in to it. I don't think bbsing will be like it was in the late 80s early to mid 90s but, it's possible we could see a jump in new users. Most people run from a terminal window and like facebook. Facebook is a dirty low-down company and if they keep up their behavior it may push people to look for something else. I used to run a board back in the day. It was a lot of fun, but modding could become too much for me. It's bad when you read the docs and do not understand them haha

    i used to be really driven and really tenacious.
    for many years i ran a lot of stuff and did a lot of stuff. sadly pulling the plug was more enjoyable than running it for all those years. bbs people are hard to stomach.

    Aren't you yourself a BBS people? Lol
    Maybe you were trying to hard to save a medium that could'nt be saved at the level it was in it's glory day's.
    It still survives despite the internet, we still have a nice little community and as a hobby it can't be beat IMHO, If I have free time I can tinker with my BBS, If I don't have time, there is no urgency to work on my BBS.
