   I think the key is to NOT use the term "BBS", at first.  Simply     
   refer to Fidonet/othernet message areas as alternatives to the     
   FB/TikTok/Twitter places, but cater to a more pure message     
   style.   
      
   Then, a good intro might be assisting with a Hotdoged/    
   Aftershock installation. Or even easier, installing Telegram,     
   and getting things going with the %HELP command to the     
   @Fido2telegram bot!  :D
