i'd rather it just support png without converters.

anyways, maybe what would help us out in the current age is to go in the direction that excaliber bbs was going. there it had graphics and sound.

or maybe that was a harbinger that we should have just all gone to using the web and what we have now with fb and telegram and instagram.

i wonder about bbsing. what draw do we have to people today? people that used to use bbses dont come back. people that come here for the retro dont stick around.

i just have a feeling we are missing something.  just copying something isnt going to do it.
