I just had a look at the Synchronet BBS list (www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html)
and it seems there are plenty more than 7 up there.  And that's just mainly
Synchronet BBSes - There are other online BBS lists that probably include more
BBSes.

Yeah, there are a couple of BBS groups I follow on Facebook, and there is ANSI
art posted in one or two of them regularly.  It definitely seems the scene is
still around.

I don't think the dramatic messages make up much of Dove-Net..  I think there
is still plenty of interesting discussion on Dove-Net.

I didn't realize that..  When was that? I started running Synchronet in 2007
and perhaps that happened before then?
