like around the mid 90s there was a lot of activity that a lot of people
call 'the third wave'
we also had a rush of activity in the early 2000's but it wasn't as big as
the third wave.

dude you really have no idea how much money i've spent out of pocket on promoting bbsing and just staying up until 3am when i wake up at 6am helping people. i did that for a very long time.

when they come back they check it out but those people go away and don't come back. i tried to bring back people from the huge bbses and they have moved on.
people prefer social media.

i either use mtelnet or syncterm. i've used netrunner and magiterm but they
have a few things that rub me the wrong way.
you should just tell them to use htmlterm because then they dont need to dick around with a client.
