Agreed...  

I will say this.  I have been a sysop since the early 1980s.  Started on
the Apple //c running Apple-Net 2.4 back then.  Ever since I went PC back
in around 1986, I have been running WWIV.  Nothing else.  Never even tested
anything else.

That being said, I have tested and toyed around with Mystic.  I have never
even touched another BBS platform in all that time.  

Not saying I would ever ditch WWIV, but I have without a doubt thought
about running a second BBS under Mystic for fun.
