About Lurkers, On Wed Aug 09 2000

RP> I'm gad to see the lurkers have come out. I'll be keeping my BBS

RP> until then and then I'll poll for a new moderator.

My BBS has been running with less than 4 callers per year now for at least
three years.  I keep running as it is still good to get information from some
of the people that have actually tried with great success methods I have not
thought of.  If your BBS is not costing too much in the way of time and more
importantly money the keep it running.

If time is a problem then automate the whole process, all I do is read mail now
and not much else left for manual intervention.  My DOS days (feeble attempt to
stay on topic), was no different.

I agree that Fido is struggling to stay alive, I have saw the Nodelist go from
35,000 to a little over 14,000 in the last few years.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
