I thank those of you who have filed out the form already. I will post the
results in a week 
or so so e can together decide what areas would appeal to the masses.

In the meantime, I want to suggest something that I proposed in the past and
was 
soundly rejected.

One of my Local conference areas is called 'Business Advertisers'.  I would
like to 
network this for the following reason:  years ago, I had several businesses
wanting to 
advertise.  I told them that for a small fee, they could post an ad on my
system and it 
was quickly networked to 3 counties in Florida that were tied into my HobbyNet
system.

We are always looking to expand our BBS to reach more people.  Why not use it
to 
provide ads for businessmen?

It was very well received in the 80's and 90's.

You would give your business customer special access to be able to post his
ad.  Non-
paid users would be able to read, but not post.

I don't expect that sysOps would agree because they say their users are only
sysOps.  
But I promote this feature locally on Alignable and other social media and
have had a 
good response.  Just food for thought.
