I too would love to see this happen. The question has to be asked though, if service is provided for free, then what value is there in maintaining it at all?

That's the entire point, really. A totally text-based forum that lets people using actual Apple IIs communicate with each other.
We have the web interface, but that's just icing on the cake. :) Sheppy
