Quoting Mro to Dmxrob <=-

regarding people going back to bbsing, I don't think people want what
we have. they want their memes and they want to be a consumer. it's
a totally different Thing than bbsing.

I'll agree with you here. I've tried for years (back when I cared) to get
my wife into the BBS. She's pretty intellegent and would have a lot to
offer, however like you said she wants memes and music etc.

The interface is also not friendly for people who are more modern computer users I think. No matter how simple it is it's not for people who didn't
grow up with the interface.


... If you can't make it big, make it good.

I'm on instagram or tiktok watching stupid videos and i like it that way.
