Multi-node BBS'

Depends. Rusty N Edies BBS was local to me and it was very popular just because of file sharing (which is what ultimately made it shut down). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_n_Edie%27s_BBS My first look at the WWW came from there when they started offering web portals and I purchased Mosaic 1.0 Once the WWW took off BBS died pretty quickly. -----Original Message----- From: ben Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2015 11:02 AM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Multi-node BBS' On 2/17/2015 8:48 AM, Geoff Oltmans wrote: I thought the fact that file sharing became popular is what did in BBS. Log in and leave a message is only a few minutes. Download some file @ 300 baud and a few hours is gone. Of course you just have a single phone line and 50+ people a day one can never log in with a long distance number. Ben.
