I'm not sure if it their fault that they do not know much about BBSing.
Atleast when I first got involved (1992), your main OS was Windows 3.1 and
you still relied on DOS a whole lot. It was almost a necessity that you
learned the way of DOS, which almost all BBSs used. So, what I'm saying is
that when you called your first BBS, a lot of the things you saw looked
somewhat familiar.

Nowdays, the kids that are just learning about BBSs grew up when there was
Windows95, OS/2, etc where everything is graphical. A lot of them probably
never really needed to use DOS. So, when they call their first time, instead
of point and click, they have to use a *keyboard*?!

Maybe if BBSs evolved into something noticably different from the web, but
still easy to use and learn.. ah, heck with that, I'm old school.. VBBS is my
choice
