Re: Online Apple BBS's

["Terry Olsen" <tolsen64@hotmail.com>]

I've had a rash of new users over the last 12 hours or so.  I've always 
wondered if it's worth it to run a BBS...considering the very few calls it 
gets.  There doesn't seem to be more than a passing interest in it.  One or 
two calls, then never call back.  So...

Is there any requests?  What would it take for a BBS to hold user's interest 
for more than a call or two?  People have csa2 groups...no one seems 
interested in the games...so is there really any reason for running a BBS?
