Just thought i'd check in. looks like the local messages are rather
dead. Theres hardly been anyone in here! I've made it my mission to create a BBS and come up with creative ways to market it to hopefully
help start the next BBS glorydays, for the benefit of all mankind!
Modems for life!
Looking forward to joining the leagues of sysops, the community needs
some fresh blood before it dies off completely and becomes a relic of
the past. (it already is, kind of)
It doesnt have to be though, everyone has a computer and modems are
CHEAP so if only there was awareness of BBS's i think some young
people would actually get into it since "retro" is becoming more and
more cool every day. Plus to bypass the internet and connect computer
to computer has an intimate and "underground" feel compared to major websites such as facebook, etc. Maybe its a pipe dream but a man can
try. Here's to the future of traditional modem BBS's!

Man, you really are posting up a storm, considering you're connected at 12
I haven't spent a lot of time trying to get users on the BBS, it's mostly h

... Experience is what you get after you need itThis time i am connecting at 2400 baud, using my Courier modem. Not sure why i had been in at 1200, since normally i use 24 (thats plenty fast enough for text in my opinion... Never connected to a BBS that had 56k capability, i bet that would be absolutely blazing for this simple text-only kind of transmission, whereas its slow for the graphics-heavy internet.
