It's not near as much fun when 90% or more of the people that call/connect
to your BBS are all Sysops as well.  Lack of users would be the reason
I consider BBSing pretty much dead honestly.

It's usually easier and faster to find information and files on the
Internet than it is on a BBS.

Don't get me wrong, I love BBSes.  I ran TG 2.7 for the longest and
the 3.x series that Tim worked on for a long while as well, and I
developed third party stuff for both of them.  I'm not trying to
insult die hard BBS people, just pointing out that I don't think the
old BBS systems really have much of a niche anymore.
