Because you can?              For me it a bit of both I must admit! Wanted to play tradewars, felt too       much noob and out of touch to play with experienced users so I started       my own game, you need a bbs for that :-) at least if you want to play       with some friends. Got hooked up and bought a twgs gold :-)              But it would not be the same without a bbs around it. My big mistake       back then (2003) was to not only offer it trough the doors system but       also on it's on ip port. People where'nt accessing the bbs anymore and       where playing strait on the twgs. Then I got sick and had to close down.       Sad I had a solid user base back then.              Now it's back since a while. But it's the time that is lacking now to       promote it. Can't get everything!              But I'm keeping the light on!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
