   I had a subscription offering back in the '90s that was cheap - I had a   
   couple of long time callers and that guy who pulled the whole Fido   
   backbone down into Bluewave. It was never intended to cover the bills,   
   was more a way for people to give back if they wanted to.   
      
   Where running a BBS became more lucrative was at the quarterly (or more   
   often) get-togethers. Many pints of beer and coffee were bought for me   
   which meant more than the subscriptions.
