 Ir> So my question is, since I havnt been around BBS's since
 Ir> 1995, how has the BBS world been? Is this the most "dead" its been?

First of all, welcome back to the BBS world!

Well, actually, I got no idea about how the BBSes worked in the early 90s as I'm relatively new into this, I discovered BBSes at the start of this year and I'm still browsing through these to find old and new relics.

I actually think there are some active ones with a nice community and some active local boards aswell (actually, local boards are an advantage to not overlook) and, despite the fact that actually I wish there's a bit more people interacting, I like it more here than on a modern social media, where it seems like the algorithm want you to see only drama and gossip rather than new art or whatever you wish to see.

Plus, the fact that BBSes doesn't require new technology makes it possible to even use old computers such as the AMIGA 500 to call the boards and interact!

Anyway, I know there are lots of returning old users, but there's also hope since I'm not one of them, I just found out the boards and I'm enjoying them!

.... Jenkinson's Law: It won't work.
