Well, like ham radio, I think there will always be a bbs around, but that's
mostly my subjective opionion.

I didn't think WG was abandonware but it seems that way. Addons require
registrations are hard to come by. I did download a bittorrent hack and used
the registration key just to play with it. It's ok, but without the client,
it's really useless. Anybody would see that Synchronet has anything needed
with updated support and documentation right out of the box.

My take on the BBS world is that there has to be a common bond or Network
between the softwares. In other words, across BBS platforms.  Any sysop
should be able to choose what software they want now and there should be a
universal message base between them. Fido was supposed to fit this bill but
some would say it has been stifled by those regulating it. What do you think?
