some day ... but I think we are all dreaming ... BBSing will never be what it
was ... (Although I too hope I am wrong) ... Most boards dont evan have a modem
anymore .. 

I remember in the old days trying to setup 2 line BBS on a 486 and still have a
mouse ... now-a-days its just not an issue. People out there dont evan know
what a BBS is anymore ... thats the issue. If there was a way that we could let
people know that we still exist ... the BBS community would grow. The only
people is how do we get the message out there. I have tried and tried to find a
way to get people involved in the BBS thing. Other than a major marketing I am
at a dead end. I have evan gone as far as to try and contact the show "screen
savers" and have them do a little thing on BBSing ... but of corse I never got
a reply from them ... 

I am always open to ideas on how to get the message out there ...
