I love BBSes. I guess I could stop there. :P

I created 2o as MY portal to the BBS world. It allows me to read the FTNs I care about, it allows me to play the door game networks I care about and it allows me to connect to the BBSes that I'm interested in.

It gives me a platform to share different and new sections of historical textmode and other retro computing topics that.. I care about. :)

And last, it allows me to learn a little bit of programming while I learn Mystic MPL, Python and some other languages.

If no one called, I'd still have all of this in one place - the fact that callers are enjoying it too... is awesome.
