• the sysop who taught you the ropes

    did an older, more experienced sysop take you under their wing when you
    were first getting started, whether that was back in the golden age or
    more recently

    when i got started i was in a small town with not many other bbs enthusiasts around, so did it on my own. i wish there was someone i could go to with questions...

    what did they actually teach you, and is there something specific they told you that's still stuck with you all these years later

    would love to hear about the people who helped shape how you approach running a board today
