Hallo Warpslide,

Interesting, as I also was 14 in 1994 and that was about the time I heard  
about BBSes as well :)
Although I did not start my own BBS back in the days, I used to have a  
point system for FidoNet using CrossPoint on DOS and OS/2.

I started my own BBS around December 2020, and I like being connected to  
different message networks and door games (via BBSlink).
I also enjoyed creating the menu system and sticking together several  
modules of Synchronet to make it look a little bit individual :)

But my main motivation was to create something that I like to use myself,  
I do play some BBSlink games regularly (LORD, Global War, Global  
Backgammon) and use my BBS as "boss" system for my OpenXP point.

Regards,
Anna
