Ni> For the BBS sysops out there, what motivates you to keep running a BBS?

It's a hobby that I enjoy.

There are things that are more important than the BBS so the BBS doesn't get all my time. It's a free time thing.

Ni> Also, running a BBS is a fairly obscure hobby. It seems there aren't many

Those guys don't know what they missed/are missing.. ;)
