I think what instantly makes a BBS look unique is it's UI/visual flow.
That doesn't need to involve top notch ANSI artistry always.

But it is always easier to me to come back to boards that have unique visual feats and then recheck content constantly (even if there is none) than those that come with 1000 games, TBs of data and all FTNs plugged in.

These two combined may perhaps create a perfect match, but I think creating interesting UX is something more important to attract regular consumers to reconnect. At least this is what turns me on to come back to my favorite places.
