Same with me.  I just checked my classic BBS in INIT and have mine set for what
appears to be the max of 99.  Still on the small side I guess for these days
when storage isn't an issue.

We have come a long way from the days of running a BBS off (2) floppy 5 1/4
drives (which is where mine started).  I think my max messages per area was
only 20.  The floppies would run out of space.. :)

Today I just added another (4) 14TB drives - another RAID 5 array.  I now have
(16) 14TB drives in my "Data Server".  More than 200TB of storage!
