Or even message bases. When I ran BBSs, doors really weren't all that big of
a deal. So, you spent a lot of time creating a BBS atmosphere. You customized
all the menus, you created a bunch of message bases, you posted little things
to get people jumping...

but ultimately, it just had to fly or sink. Same with the doors.

I think the biggest drawback to today's systems is that they are all too
similar. If everyone has the same doors and the same echos and the same nets,
then why not just call one?
