I was wondering...as I am presently setting up a little BBS.
Is there any demand for an oldschool BBS at all? I know we've moved forward to this internet thing here...but still. Personally I never quite got the feeling of community I had back in the days of the BBS.
In any case.. here are my questions:
1- Would you use a telnet BBS?
2- What would make you use such a system?
3- Would you contribute to keep the site up?
4- What do you expect in terms of file transfers?
5- Doors?
There are already some very good Amiga telnet BBSes out there running C-Net and telser.device. If I were at home right now I could come up with some of their names. I haven't logged into them as much as I should...
1- Yes, I have, but I find that I don't connect regularly
2- Door games, message boards
3- not money, but messages and files
4- Rare stuff you can't find on Aminet
5- Yep! Hacker! ...and some sort of Wheel of Fortune or something which can earn you file board points or time points...
