AM> limits still exists? I mean, I understand why it was back then, but

AM> Take me to the underground.

Yep, BBSs came from a different time and place. Back in the dial-up days we needed those limits but today they are not needed but most BBSs are built that way.

I don't currently have a BBS online but my last one had a time limit of 1439 minutes a day per user, so there wasn't really any time limit but I had to enter something in the configuration of that BBS.

Ttyl :-),
