You have posted this ad before and I asked a question before, which you
chose not to answer - so I'll ask it again.

Why do you not make this BBS available to Net users via an on-line
web-forum? Your BBS is likely to draw only PTA people, whereas it would be
available to the world if hosted on a Net-connecte machine.

Am I wrong in thinking that the days of BBSes belong in the Jurassic era?
