You may recognize my handle.  I'm somewhat back in the BBS scene but not as
much as I use to.  There's a sysop named Khaotic that took over Dribble's BBS
and he's a hacker.  He told me he was going to develop a new BBS software and
force every BBS sysop to use it.  If they didn't, he'd hack and destroy their
BBS and the machine it was on.  Also the software he was creating had a
backdoor so if someone did something he didn't like, he could crash the board.
When he threatened to destroy my computer, i went into hiding.  People like him
will kill the BBS scene.
