It seems to be the popular thing around BBSing to be condesending and
negative.

FSXnet came about when there were already general nets that were "dead"
and it's become very popular. It just depends how much effort one is
willing to put into their net, the energy they put out either will
attract others or wont.

To be honest, the negativity in bbsing is more likely to drive people
away from the hobby, than keep everyone in existing nets or something.
I've been at the point the last few weeks, where I'm considering just
turning everything off and washing my hands of it all. The only thing
that stops me is the handful of friends I've made here, and I'd feel like
I was letting down people who use my software.

Anyway, good luck to mickey with his blues net.
