I have recently got into bbses and discovering them.  So I wanted to
know what to avoid.

Bummer, you're about 20 years too late.  Not sure there's much to
avoid anymore.  I seem to recall one that was a huge Anne McCaffrey
circlejerk but I have no recollection of the name, avoid that one.  It
was hosted in the Twin Cities.

Depends on what you mean by strange...  I mean, there's only a
couplefew hundred up these days - there used to be that many in some
area codes. Most of them that have been up and running for some time
are probably worth giving a call as there's quite a few that people
put up to check it out but didn't do any customization.

It's probably easier to recommend a few than it is to say which ones
you shouldn't call - it's such a small scene I wouldn't want to diss
anyone that's trying to keep it alive.

Hmm, there was a strange local BBS with a sysop who liked to chat a
lot to me when I was a teen(ager). :P

avoid strange? that's weird.

i like things that are different.
one bbs i visited was pretty strange.  everyone had sysop access and
once a week he would restore a backup.
