i don't play into that nostalgia stuff.
Things are SO much different than when we were running bbses over our phone lines.  There is no comparison. We are still using ansi and we still have doorgames.  Everything is so much different. What we run and how we run it. The people are different. How we interact is different.

I should have refrased my statement more carefully, though.  if you are truly serving up 20+ tb of files you are essentially a content delivery source you should have the muscle and the bw to handle it, something that a dedicated server on a reputable provider can deliver.

I wouldn't run a bbs at home anymore because I like to have it out of house, I don't want to share my connection with it.  In my case i use my servers for other things as well.
