    Looks like. I just found my way back to usenet after getting online with
    some BBSes.

    Yep. Wish there were more posts!

    We could post about how we wished our BBSes got more "calls".

    Ahh.. the laments of a modern day sysop ;)

    I largely consider this little hobby to be moreso for Me. Anyone else
    that joins in the fun is a side benefit (Anyone Welcome!). I have a
    couple semi regular callers.. no clue what they do.. certainly aren't
    posting messages though :)

    The BBS is really just about scratching an itch that I have for
    configuring old bbs stuff and letting it fly.. tweaking the little
    things I like and effectively pretending as though I am running a bbs.
    If it catches on, cool.. if not.. well.. ok.. boo... but.. okay..
    :\

    I tell ya tho.. the little rush I got when I had this ol girl polling
    FDN networks super quick was great! Like riding a bike!

    That's definitely a good way to look at it. It's still nice when a few
    people join and participate, though :). Even if it's just a little bit.
    To make use of thing you set up, I guess.

    Just letting you know that your posts to alt.bbs.ads are in ANSI, which is
    not welcome in USENET groups. I sent you a netmail about that, but never received a response. Post an ASCII ad instead, please.
