 Ar> In January 2023 it will be 33 years I have had a continuous BBS. I
 Ar> started out in 1990 with 4 lines dial up 9600 using Zoom Modems and a
 Ar> Rocket Port Serial Card on a Gateway 486DX2 66 and MS-DOS6. I used WWIV
 Ar> BBS Software and the BBS name was called RADS Y-town BBS.  It was one of
 Ar> the most busiest BBS in NE Ohio. 

This is awesome Congratulations!

 Ar> It has crossed my mind of late, maybe it is time to finally retire .. 
 Ar> this BBS only gets maybe two connections in any one month. And, besides
 Ar> love being a sysop and enjoying reading some really colorful posts every
 Ar> now and then, and of course still plant a few IBBS games which are
 Ar> totally addicting.  I dunno ...Just maybe it is time to retire after 33
 Ar> years and turn it down.
 Ar> 
 Ar> I am open to any and all comments ?

Unless the cost of operating the BBS is getting to be too much, I don't see why you wouldn't want to preserve the history.  I get it most people get in and after they like it make their own BBS, however with all the interBBS tools and chats and networks, even if your not getting a ton of calls seems worth it to keep it up.  

I was one of those that came back after years and made a BBS since I used to run one.  I use my BBS more than anyone else but thats ok.  I like it :D.  

If the cost of hosting it outweighs the benefits I get it.  Would like to see it.  Whats the address?
