I agree - the Atari, Commodore and [some] Amiga boards seem to get ALL those platforms callers; which they should... I feel like the Mystic/Synchronet's are the 'dime a dozen'.

Yea man.. The Cave, Particles a few of the older Telegard boards - and many others that I'm not naming; they are the champions. The guys who never went OFFLINE in the first place. w0w.
