   Just to interject.. BBSing is not compleatly dead.. Actually because of people   
   like you its starting to make a comeback.. As a Sysop my self I admit it is   
   nothing like it once was.. In my area for example as far as I can tell I am the   
   only BBS (405) area code.. Telnet or otherwise.. Synchronet (Which is what I   
   run) has made great strides in blending the old (bbs) with the new (www).. It   
   however is still the Sysop that makes or breaks there bbs.. If he is an Arse It   
   still doesnt attract users.. I still try to be old school in some ways.   
   (Answering a chat page if I am in fact around for example).. Anyway if you   
   havent looked at many of the current bbs's you can check mine out..
