Bot do I remember that - I had ties to Fido Net but
also others and never
had illegal (in my eyes anyway) activity noted at all. Those same arrogant
dweebs are the ones that soaked thousands of dollars into their boards once
t he internet came into popularity, stating that it was just a fad and go
away and everyone would be back the BBS scene. Guess who's not laughing
right now? I saw that the net had real possibiities and would be around for
sometime, even change a lot, so I kept the BBS up until I only had 2 callers
a day and shut it down and put the machine to better uses. That was about
1996.
Well, by now the scene, at least over her, has stabilized. Only a few
dozend survived nationwide, but with stable numbers of users. It seams
like as all people who would use eiter the Internet OR a BBS have switched
by now. And it's not just abut oldtimers still using BBSes. At least here
around Munich new users are coming in (at a low rate of course). Mostly
curious about either Technology in general, or slassic Hardware!
Gruss
