      Around here finding a BBS was like looking for NSA secrets.   
      I had heard about boards and took a couple of months of asking questions   
   for information on them.  Just a name and number was tough to come by.   
      And when I found one I had to fill out an application which had to be   
   approved by the sysop.  Some were totally restricted, others were read only   
   until approved.   
      Eventually I found one that listed others in the area and one would have   
   a link the other board didn't, etc.   
      Sometimes a sysop wouldn't let one join if they were a member of a rival   
   board.   
      And some where better than others, IMO.  I wasn't interested in games   
   and considered game boards of no interest.  Some users only wanted games and   
   nothing else.  So it all came out in the wash.
