Looking for something doesn't mean, that you plan to rent/buy it Mro!
You've said, that they (Hetzner) would have cheap actions. So I looked
on their prizes. Not more...

Nobody will share any costs for that hobby. And on the other side...
I should be my "baby".

It's ok and your decicion. For me it stays as a hobby. Other ones are going fishing
and came back with nothing. Next time they go fishing again....
For me it's a kind of relaxation and at the same time I enjoy getting things working
or designing the website differently. Trying to learn things, that I've not used before!
BBS'ing in the 2020's is different, because in the early 90's it won't exist in that way!
Nice ex. ==> Web Design.. only one of this.... This is also something I have to learn..

Thank you very much Mro, that I have the right of my own decicion! But I don't know
if it's really better on a server from a provider! I have everything here at home and like
it in that way (hello Rob :-) ).
Yep.. I've made only a small promoting of my BBS forum. And I think, you've made already
a feedback to this in April or May. And guess... not really positiv! But it's ok for me....
I still think that the forum is a good thing to bring sysops from the various BBS's
together again! And the forum offers all things, that Facebook/Reddit/Discord and and and
offers, too. With one difference. It is privately operated and the data stays there!
And it is also completely free for users. I do not pursue any financial interests.
The topic is just important to me!
And to the BBS. I will present a good working, good structured and good designed result
if I promote my BBS. And I have a "finished BBS" in my brain. So if this isn't achieved in
my opinion, there is no point in promoting it in my eyes. The same reason for not
promoting my BBS last year, this year and maybe next year, too. Remember... I do this
as a hobby and primarily for me.... If you believe it, or not!
