I carry Spooknet and have posted a copy of times but not really got any responses. Not that I really expected anyway so I wasn't that disappointed. I generally don't read anything other than the sysop/network groups so maybe I should take a peek and see what's going on.

I've heard of it, sounded something like people from Arkensas would sign up for so I'd expect to see a lot of Daryl Stout and not much else. Maybe that's what you saw :)

If only we could get more to call back, at least on a semi-regular basis. I've contemplated sending email reminders but then again, I don't want to come over all "spammy". People would come back if they wanted to, I'm sure.

I once said that every BBS is different and someone responded "unless it's a sycnhronet BBS"...after that point, I made an effort to try and customize my board and make it look a bit different. Maybe I need more effort. Unfortunately, my art skills are terrible. I have no artistic ability at all so I have very basic stuff.

I did have one guy who seemed to be active on the loacls but then he dropped off. He comes and goes. I guess life happens to people and bulletin boards aren't their first priority...silly people! :)
