Well you are welcome to visit the Prison Board bbs (telnet refig.net or
http://www.rdfig.net) and enjoy what I have here.  I am pretty small, a
list of about 400 users but only 25 that return with any regularity and
about 10 that return daily.  The ten that return daily are around my
age and do not like the internet or the games they offer.  Yes,
messaging is just about gone in FidoNet but I do it for other reasons.
When those leave, I will probably abandon the bbs side of things.

But yes, please come by anytime to check what is going on.  I still run
legacy games, mostly card games and the usual Lord and Tradewars type
and BRE.  But my regular users like the card games and I have a lot of
them.

Take care and keep in touch.

-> I could stay for years and years and be the last one.  But to keep the bbs

-> There are about a dozen other reasons.  It can leave me more time for my
other
