Subj : RE: This Area To : All From : royall@hal-pc.org Date : Thu Oct 05 2000 12:04 pm From: "Scott Royall" Subject: RE: This Area Honey child, this area would be dead long past if not for the email posters. Instead, it is Fidonet that died basically. I'm not happy about that either, but at least I acknowledge the reality and allow the area to adapt and survive.

I remember just a few short years ago when this echo would receive 150+ messages a day. People tossed out their creations, their new spells, their ideas on new rules, classes, kits, and everyone told stories, bards told tales, it was nice. Then some fool let the Internet Newsgroup posters in, and reading this echo became insanely difficult. Having to read each and every message even when you're in a hurry because Internet junkies are incapable of filling in a TO field makes reading difficult and at times disjointed. The times when a message to ALL meant someone was trying to start up a new conversation, an invitation to talk and we know how we used to look for them, are now effectively destroyed by their presence. Not to mention that those internet junkies have enough Alt.I'manidiot newsgroups to ruin on their own, why in the hell they deserve to be in this echo is beyond me. Is there anyone out there with the technical ability of a mole rat who can still fill out a TO field and reply to this? Is there any hope the moderator here will figure out what a blatant error gating this echo was? Or do we have enough BBS Sysop's paying attention that they can effectively start a new echo, one done right? Probably not either way.
