That's true, and IMO part of the role of a moderator is to consolidate or 
close it up if there's no activity. Fido, for example started consolidating 
some of the echoes, but getting echoes off of systems is the challenge - 
it's too easy for sysops to leave dead or disconnected echoes on systems.

What I've always wanted is to have a BBS that, when connected to the entire 
backbone, if it receives a message would auto-create a BBS area and keep a 
tally of when areas were last accessed. An area isn't accessed for a year? 
Auto-remove the area.

The monthly ghost-town moderator rules postings would break that though.


.... Is something missing?
