   Hello Ali,   
      
    AM> Hi, I'm quite new in bbses, but I don't understand one thing: Why time   
    AM> limits still exists? I mean, I understand why it was back then, but   
    AM> today even raspberry pi can hold a lot of connections for a long time   
    AM> Take me to the underground.   
      
   Yep, BBSs came from a different time and place. Back in the dial-up days we   
   needed those limits but today they are not needed but most BBSs are built that   
   way.   
      
   I don't currently have a BBS online but my last one had a time limit of 1439   
   minutes a day per user, so there wasn't really any time limit but I had to   
   enter something in the configuration of that BBS.
