I have no problem with a BBS running a web interface. Time moves on and technology evolves. It's one way to keep the BBS scene alive. The same access levels apply to the echoes available on my website as through the BBS so there's really no loss/gain there. I don't have ssh/telnet access from work so the web interface is a good way for me to connect to my BBS.

When I started my BBS, one of my aims was to be connected to anything and everything I could. This last month I've dropped a lot of networks. All of Gerts (Familynet, STN, Linuxnet, Gatornet, etc), Starnet and Sportsnet shut up shop as did combatnet. This is something I do agree on. There's too many othernets that don't really add any value any more. Duplicate echoes just dilute the pool.

While I know there's a lot of history behind some of these groups and a lot pride for the creator, but sometimes you just have to let go and stop flogging a dead horse. This is what happened with Starnet and Sportsnet. I think encouraging new sysops not to partake in Gert's networks (if you can even get him to respond) would be a good start. IMHO.
