Well that makes sense, isn't one of the prime reasons for "your" BBS to try
and attract new users?  So from the user end of things it wants to be as open
as possible.

On the other hand there are barriers.  Telnet clients are in decline,
you have go and look for a client that is generally deprecated and insecure.
ssh is probably slightly more straight forward, so long as you can find
a bbs and a port to support it. I'd also hazzard a guess that most gen-Ys and
millenials aren't going to have the attention span to sit and read all this
stuff. No pretty pictures, no video... its like going backwards to grab a
newspaper.. most don't do that either, and you can see that in the poor
circulation newspapers have these days.
