I never went to any BBS meetups, but they sounded fun.  And I miss those days too.  Although BBS access was always limited due to time limits & such, I often felt like my usage was more focused than it is now.  Also, I liked the early internet too, as there weren't really any ads & such online, and I felt like I was able to find things fairly easily.
