When I was a kid, I remember calling into a BBS that basically had nothing new on it, over time, and then talking with others, imagining some scenario where someone had stashed the computer away in a closet, and it'd keep running until the computer failed.

I think that's probably _way_ more common, now. As it was, I think the sysop really _did_ show up from time to time, just not in local message bases.
