I am always surprised at the number of people that do not know what BBS is or
means. I could be talking to the most intelligent internet person, who could
tell me anything about HTML, JAVA or anything else, but if I ask "You know
what a BBS is right?"... I get the weirdest stares. I believe if the BBSs
were advertised more in places that regular people frequent, then the BBS
scene might really boom again. It is just that the BBS scene now is truly
underground, found only by those who either used to have a BBS or those who
used to call them regularly.
