   bbses aren't any refuge from the 'internet'.  we use it and people prefer the   
   web and the internet over bbses.   
      
   Right now bbses are a fishbowl of closed minded people with no users other   
   than sysops.  if you prefer THAT, you're delusional.  If you think that is   
   what bbsing is about, you're delusional.  If you say you just run it for   
   yourself, eventually you are one of those sysops who closes it down because   
   there's no point in it because you have no users and you don't care anymore.    
   I've seen it hundreds of times.   
      
   We are not running bbses. we are running a shadow of what bbses used to be.   
      
   regarding images here and there, why not? i logon to some bbses and i see 5   
   page scrolling ansis.  that shit is more annoying than a sixel image.
