Well I am a Huge fan of BBSes, but I would MUCH preffer Fido-net Dialup BBSes to Web BBSes. That way people with NO INTERNET or REALLY REALLY SLOW INTERNET can still access and participate in discussions. If you want to dump Email, which people without HTTP access can still use, then I suggest going to Fido and somehow reviving the BBS networks that are even now going extinct. You may not like it, but the Majority of users out there do NOT have the money to use really high speed and high quality stuff like Cable Internet and DSL and stuff. Most people are still on 56k or less DialUP speeds. And that 56k speed really only exists when really good compression and a practicaly noisless line are being used. My phone lines are constantly noisy. My connections are rarely faster than 33k. And my ISP is a Free ISP and is therefore CRAP!!! I can't afford anything since I haven't had a Job in over 5 YEARS and have NO MONEY!!! I am totaly dependant on my parents who are Unemployed because they were Both fired from their jobs recently. Life has delt us a crappy hand, but we are still trying to keep going. I'm useing MSN right now from School, which is technicaly against the rules, but, I break and bend rules all the time. They don't seem to mind, as long as I don't do it with potential customers watching. Would you please have a nice day!? Thank you! :) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
