Hello All,

So I am just curious. I have been back into BBSing for a few months now. Its a blast! I see a lot of chatting about "making more popular, more users, etc..". So my question is, since I havnt been around BBS's since 1995, how has the BBS world been? Is this the most "dead" its been? Did it pick up a couple years back with everyone being stuck in their homes for Covid? (Seems a lot of people got back into hobbies they did not have time for during this time period) Has it picked up a little lately? I noticed quite a few users like myself that were into BBSing years ago coming back to it within the last few years. On the telnet BBS guide, is that an accurate count of about how many BBS's are left? I know some people run multiple BBS with different software a lot of the times, it seems, probably because its fun setting them up and learning new softwares is probably a fun challange. Some people said it was really quiet during the summer months and picks up during the winter a little more?

Sorry about the long message, I hope everyone has a good day, its nice to get on here and away from the stresses of every day life and just Relax.
