It seems to be running on autopilot sans the echolist updates.

If you scroll to the bottom of the echolist, you see "Echolist last updated: 
2016-06-29 02:53:23 UTC"

Something happened in June 2016. I hope all is well.  Keep us posted if you 
make contact.

Yes.. Thank you. I am familiar with that.  Have been there in the recent past.

I have been away from the fidonet/bbs culture for many years.  Just dropping by 
to see what's up.  Good work with the gazette (as the alternative fidonews).  
The recipes have not been my interest, but the regular echo stats are pretty 
good; I believe I had a hand in planting a seed to create that many years ago.

The regular sections for bbs software, and bbs guides are great.  I came across 
another bbs guide quite by accident recently: http://bbs.guide  (yep.. it 
really has a .guide extension.)  Might be good to add that one?  

I am totally impressed how these online web-based bbs guides such as 
telnetbbsguide.com and the one I just mentioned above operate. They make 
finding bbses so interesting. It is fun to get a preview and read a summary 
with details, or even jump right in and visit one.

On the matter of the newsletters, it would be cool if they would be searchable 
(as a database).  I was contemplating such a project myself.  But I seem to 
remember that someone had already done that many years ago. Not sure how to 
find out anymore.
