That's been something that I'm trying to find a way, to change.  There has to
be some folks out there that would enjoy getting back into BBS's especially
now since it's easier through Telnet to access them.  No long distance phone
charges, no software download prior to connecting, there has to be a 'spin'
that would get people back into a BBS mindset.

Ideas?!

I used to run my own ANSI/Intro group when my BBS was up, called (and prolly
not incredibly popular, but ...) WeaponX ANSI.

Would love to know if anyone still has any of our stuff in their archives. =)
 That would be a serious trip down memory lane. =)
