I had a subscription offering back in the '90s that was cheap - I had a
couple of long time callers and that guy who pulled the whole Fido
backbone down into Bluewave. It was never intended to cover the bills,
was more a way for people to give back if they wanted to.

Where running a BBS became more lucrative was at the quarterly (or more
often) get-togethers. Many pints of beer and coffee were bought for me
which meant more than the subscriptions.
