I still run the same BBS software I did when I first started (1988) and I
still offer dial-up.  I added telnet a few years ago as well.  It has been
online as a public dial-up system since 1989.
 
I lived in Louisville back then, and the BBS scene was thriving.  There
were the long-time boards that always seemed to be around, and then there
were always the ones that appeared and disappeared almost as quickly.  By
the time I moved in 1997, there were not near as many left.  I was
surprised a couple of years ago to realize all the old boards I knew then
are completely gone.
 
I had actually inquired about a dial-up BBS list for the Louisville area,
and was told there were none.  That was probably 3 or 4 years ago.  :(
 
I can remember the thrill of watching people log on.  That sort of lessened
after a while.  It would actually be a thrill now, since it happens so
less-often, but it seems that most users are online late at night, long
after I have retired for the evening.  ;-)
