Now I'm lucky if I get 1 person come on a day. *sighs* Well it's not the method of contacting the BBS... The internet is your competition. MrO is right about offering more than what comes with the ZIP file. you have to make it your own system in some way or another. Sync offers a cornicopia of ways and methods to do this. PLUS it offers you ways to make changes not forseen by DM... Your BBS can be better than you imagined, it can even be better than DM imagined. ีอออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออออ ณ "We live in a society exquisitely ณ dependent on science and technology, ณ in which hardly anyone knows anything ณ about science and technology." ณ - Carl Sagan ....
