I've had some regulars too (and sometimes they come and go), and at least some of them, I'm pretty sure aren't sysops of other BBSes.

MRO wrote "we" dont' have users, when he should have written "I" don't have users. That's because he has a crap board not even accessible to the public, and doesn't really know how to actually run a good one. He also doesn't understand words like "market" and "engage".
yeah you dont know shit about me, you havent ran a system as long as i do,
He can't seem to realize that although it isn't like it was 25 years
ago, there are still BBSs that get callers.
no you cant seem to realize that if you are standing outside and some dew drops from a leaf, it doesn't mean it's raining.
I have a few users too, some that call every single day. Rock on.
yeah rock on with your pathetic self. and your 5 years.

you should just tell them to use htmlterm because then they dont need
to dick around with a client.
Why are you hiding yours? Because it's completely stock and boring? <CHORTLE>
Yes, that's good. I'm very sure many of my users are not sysops,
although some are.
MRO is somewhat detached from reality. ;-)

Yeah, HTML/wss definitely the path of least resistance for new folks. Easiest way to get them in.
I guess BBSing will continue to be a niche thing, and there is definitely less activity than when I returned a while back. It seems to spike every
now and then, but it's always pretty low. I'm grateful for the people who *are* here, and stick around :)

still dont know what you have against me.
you have always gone out of your way to take shots at me
think i'll add you back if you don't improve your entertainment
value.
? I went away in 97 until 2017 - adulting, and all.
But 90-97 was a fun time..
Similar time-frames, my friend! I consider my "active" years to be 1992-1996. Retruned around 2018. It's a different time now, but still a blast.
yeah you dont know shit about me, you havent ran a system as long as i
do, and your information is entirely wrong. Like every word you said
about my bbs and me is incorrect. furthermore, i run multiple bbses
which you still can't wrap your empty head around.
Similar time-frames, my friend! I consider my "active" years to be 1992-1996.
like around the mid 90s there was a lot of activity that a lot of people call 'the third wave'
we also had a rush of activity in the early 2000's but it wasn't as big
as the third wave.
I really dig the way you've been able to attract/educate a whole new cr of folks to BBSing with your outreach, welcome and patient explanations
dude you really have no idea how much money i've spent out of pocket on promoting bbsing and just staying up until 3am when i wake up at 6am helping people. i did that for a very long time.
My favorite thing is when people return to BBSing, while they often express surprise it still exists, they are so glad it does.
when they come back they check it out but those people go away and don't come back. i tried to bring back people from the huge bbses and they
have moved on. people prefer social media.
I agree -- the syncterm site could use a little modernization, and
it's a geat program. I'll also point more tech-savvy folks to IcyTerm, MagiTerm and Netrunner (I know you do, too)!
i either use mtelnet or syncterm. i've used netrunner and magiterm but they have a few things that rub me the wrong way.

You playing dumb is..... comical.
As I said previously (and you snipped), your "BBS" is not publicly accessible. That's what you're hiding, doofus.
still dont know what you have against me.
I don't like blowhards or bullshitters. You're both.
you have always gone out of your way to take shots at me
I've done nothing that you have not done.

Whatever blows your dress up. Knock yourself out.
blast.

You forgot to tell them how much of a loser newbie they are - cmon, MRO, get on top of yer game.

I wouldn't know, he's been in my shitlist for a long time. Never see any posts.
you're another guy that has not been around long enough to say anything about anything. and you don't know me. you are also another guy i took out of my block list but you're going back.
but does everyone here see what i mean?
I say we don't have users (which is a fact) and these delusional people take it personally and attack me. happens every time.
I actually have a few. The majority are older than I am, though.
yeah i have a few too. i dont really consider that normal capacity.
a few years back we got hit with a big slump and it hasn't bounced back.
there's a lot of people in denial about that or just don't have a good enough rspective because they haven't been around a long time.
There are a few boards that do get a lot of traffic, although not full capacity and maybe mostly other sysops. Maybe they are more l33t than most of us. :D More power to them, though. Whatever is working for them, I wouldn't discourage.

Yeah, in the past few years there was discussion of one in Taiwan that is very active, and about the software that powers it. I was curious so I tried to check it out but it is very much all in Chinese. ;)
Back in the day, a network I was on (GT Power) had several nodes in Taiwan, but they also mostly participated amongst themselves. The only time you really realized they were around was when some of the users would post in the equivalent of the FIDO Asia Link echo.
