I'm a Sp00knet node, been hoping for some activity in the network. There are a couple of things I see offhand that could be done fairly easily - low-hanging fruit, if you will.

Looking at my board, only 10 echoes show any traffic in 2025. Only 10 out of all of those boards have over 100 messages.

There's quite a bit of overlap, which I'd get rid of in order to get the message traffic in the active areas up.

Looking at those two categories and consolidating others, I came up with:

Investment Strategies, Crypto Currencies
Politics, Religions & People
[ADMIN] SpookNet Sysop Net Chat
Aliens, UFOs & EBEs
General Conspiracies
Cryptography & Steganography
New World Order
Financial Crisis & Meltdown
Intelligence, Espionage and the Law
Diseases, Pandemics and Disasters
Computer Security and Hacking
Mind Control and Disinformation
Spy World (bug detection, safe houses, offensive/defensive spy wares)

That's 13 message areas instead of 34 that cover most if not all of the subject areas.

What would help the network more than someone to manage it would be an incentive system to get sysops and users to post. Let's figure out some way to get people to start conversations on the network.

Let's get rid of all of the listed DOWN nodes in the nodelist, too - that looks like the network is on the downside.
