   It depends on who you ask, I suppose.   
      
   Unlike othernet FTN's, Fidonet-verse is made up of federated     
   systems that can pick and choose which echomail groups they     
   wish to carry. So, depending on what system you are a user of,     
   the activity in its echo portfolio could vary - thus, giving   
   different impressions just how "active" things are.   
      
   Were you "The_Mechanic's_Workbench" circa 1994?   
      
   Welcome back as a point/user!   
      
   I likewise, I operated a couple of systems in the 90's and into     
   the early years of the 2000's - and then quit primarily of a     
   hdd failure on my system.   
      
   My systems were:   
      
   Vis_a_Vis_Communications   
   Etcetera_Etcetera_Etc..   
   eXpress_><_ConneXions   
      
   I am quite happy operating as a point/user to participate in     
   echomail.  I've settled with OpenXP ( more info and pics here -     
   https://openxp.kolico.ca )   
      
   I also connect with Aftershock via an android phone, and even     
   Telegram.  Aftershock limits access to one boss node, and one     
   device. Select echos are accessible with the Telegram app (for     
   desktop or any OS) via Telegram BBS that operates from Crimea.     
   You can learn more about the latter by linking up with the     
   FIDONET.TELEGRAM echo.
