I think that's one of the great things about BBSing. I spent a lot of energy a few years back on a documentary I made on YouTube (Back to the BBS). I made it because a) it was the lockdown and I found that BBSes were thriving again and b) there was a lot of genuinely nice people on there. A lot of people that were on BBSes in the past grew up a lot. Let's face it, a lot of us were pimply-faced teenage trolls and didn't always spend time being kind, but most of us evolved from that and we are here these days for the giggles and good times. If you're on here, you're probably part of the good stuff (there are a few exceptions). If someone on here has something not going on well in their life, we are likely to be empathetic towards your situation, and since we have probably had /somewhat/ similar backgrounds (even if in different countries or states), we are here to support you.

In New Zealand we say "Kia Kaha". Stay strong.

Cheers,
