Dear Mike, or Hello :-)

Younger people mostly don't know what a BBS, Telnet, Fidonet is. If nobody of their
friends/parents have this hobby it will be hard to reach them. WWW and Discord they
know. But most of them don't know, that are BBS themes on Discord, too. They are
using mostly their browser to surf into the internet.

My childs are looking at me with big eyes as I told them.. Daddy is opening a BBS.
They are 27, 24 and 19 and playing most of the day Online!

So the www remains as a possible starting point for this hobby. (my pers. opinion)

And here could be the possible approach!

Greetings

Mike
