Definitely. I appreciate the threading more on a BBS, and it's a heck of a lot less distracting; not to mention, it's got more of a personal "at home" feel to it.
this statement is meaningless.
I disagree!

Maybe BBSes were cruddy Facebooks? Maybe we should have set up privacy policies, then used personal info for entertainment, then sold personal
data to companies that could advertise on our BBSes, sold commercial accounts, and then made it almost impossible for users to control where their information was shared?
We missed the boat...

If things were still like the olden days nowadays then you would. The real posters are the loyal and dedicated users/sysops.

i think now, if you are running a bbs and get a real user [not a visiting sysop], they are going to go straight for the games and maybe check out
what files you have. i would expect the europeans to be interested in what textfiles a bbs has.
Actually, when I was a user, I used to attack the message threads first and if I had time then I would go to the files/games afterwards.

Basically most boards have the same stuff on them, but the atmosphere has changed quite a lot. You're not dialing and redialing for half an hour or more to get onto that popular BBS in your town, and when you do get there you're not exactly pressed for time (who really sets a strict time limit on their users these days?) or flooded with activity. BBSing today has a lot of the look and some of the feel of the "old days", but a certain amount of the flavour and excitement has gone out of it, or turned to something new.

I always read messages first, then maybe hit files once in a while. I went back to my old habits immediately, heh. I never play door games.

That is in one day, in one echo.. Some echos like trek or some of the
others would pull in 300 msgs a day. And Users would still log on and dl a BW or qwk packet that took the 45 minutes to download. That always amuses me. BBS are so much faster, have more nodes, etc. Yet now people don't participate much. How about with those slow modems 1200, 2400. redrawing some of those ansi screens in the games took so long, now they fly. I think for a bbs to be used quite a bit it has to actually have a special niche now. Most of us sysops don't do this...

I can understand that.. I was not always, actually mostly not able to get
to local get togethers etc. But the odd thing I find, Most of the people I do know from those days, and were quite active to boot, Just don't have an interest in BBS'ing anymore. The go for the facebook, but have no inclination to bbs anymore. Oh they will log on, have some great memories, but then, leave it at that. Sad..

In a lot of ways, I got to know people online better than in the real world people were much more candid when they had BBSes as a medium and interacted through handles.
By the time we met face to face (which we did quarterly, usually), we alread had a long history online.
Wish I could get mine working. :-(I can help with that
