Wether or not its a "Good point" aside, it is not the reason for BBS's going down. The main reason i've seen BBS's go down is because the Sysop is too lazy to advertise and/or the BBS is stock synchronet or something. Both Malkavia and Omega are already plastered everywhere and get activity. I've been up for almost 10 years and you've been up longer than that. But it took both of us alot of hard work to get things that way. We didn't just throw up our boards and prayed people called. The last time we had a chat about your activity, you were complaining that you didn't get 300 calls a day anymore and were talking about taking your BBS down because of it, and that you weren't satisfied with the 30+ calls and 8-9 people :-) Glad to see your singing a different tune now :-) Altho whatever anyones opinion is about real info, what that dude said was a direct slam against people who ask for real info. The Sysop retains the right to run his/her BBS the way he/she sees fit. If a user doesn't like that, they don't have to call. ..------------------------------------------------------. | Time Warrior, Sysop: Malkavia BBS - malkaviabbs.com | | NC: Xpresit Net - Free Speech - www.xpresit.net | | NC: UNOFFICIAL SynchroSupport Net - synchsupport.net | | ICQ: 25055930 | AIM: Twar782 | YIM: twarxpresit | | Email: xpresitnet@juno.com | \____________________________________________________/ --- Synchronet 3.11a-Win32 NewsLink 1.71 * Malkavia - Chicago, IL - telnet://malkaviabbs.com .
