well, run it for yourself, if that's what makes you happy. [honestly]

really? i find dove-net quite sad now in comparison to what it has been in 
the past. there are a few good ones..even great ones..but they are becoming 
wall flowers.

another thing that i never liked about dovenet, is that when anyone who shows 
ANY opposing view to what is the norm [not talking about myself], he gets 
JUMPED on.. and and some of these guys are not americans..and they are not 
used to our nettiquette..or however ya spell it..

but i think all msg networks in general are drying up..and what's left aint 
so hot, chester...

i agree with you on that.. i dont like it how some people have the attitude 
that they are not talking to other people. they can just click the old iggy 
button, and leave it at that... they are like animals, just grabbing what 
they want, ...self centered.. not the way it was in the past.

the problem is, everyone and they're grandmother is on the internet..and 
guess what?..... THEY'RE ALL IGNORANT ASSHOLES!

i think what would be nice is a windows html gui interface to connect to 
synchronet systems with [i know this has been done before with others]... and 
still support the old school stuff like ansi and bbs doorgames and utils.

but i dont think bbsing will ever be revived..and maybe that is good..
