The area is still connected.

Frank Linhares has left fidonet so the area is mostly quiet now.

sounds like a plan.

Anyone heard anything from Frank Linhares since he left the bbs/fidonet scene? --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux

Well, on the BBS I connect, I see messages from this node!

It's just that I haven't interacted with many of these until recently! But yes, I will check also what happens here!

The area is still connected.

I just found this and I'm wondering about the thoughts of the hobby.

Is it a hobby?

I just think at one point it wasn't just a hobby, it was some people's business. I don't think it currently has a market for income today, but can't it be used for something more than links to none bbs systems?

Questions make more questions most of the time.

If you are speaking about BBSing I think of it as a hobby.

Fidonet (and other nets) are also a hobby. It was designed and run by hobbyists for the most part.

I just think at one point it wasn't just a hobby, it was some people's business.

I think some businesses have used BBS or FTN technology but BBSing and Fidonet have always been a hobby for me. I have never made money from it. Never wanted or expected too.

I don't think it currently has a market for income today, but can't
it be used for something more than links to none bbs systems?

BBS and/or ftn technology could be used by a business but I doubt anyone ever made much money from it.

Questions make more questions most of the time.

Seth Able did make money from his LORD door game (in the early days) although I think he came upon success unexpectedly. I don't know where he is today.

What a simple, yet awesome door he created. There are a few stories like his.

RemoteAccess, FrontDoor and FastEcho had some amount of commercial success, and there are others like that as well.

But for me BBSing has always simply been a hobby.

BBS'ing costs money! But nearly every hobby costs money!

OK, if you collect stones... not really!

But I think BBS'ing makes more fun....

So... another post here in the lonely conference....

Greetings

Mike
