This has been a hard decision, However I have decided to close RetroDigital BBS and put my efforts and time towards other projects I have going on.
One alternative for my users is https://amigacity.xyz/ Check them out :)

Nothing will be changing for the IRC services I host for Synchronet IRC. They will continue to function and I will still be hanging around on those servers.

Last day for RetroDigital BBS will be: January 19th, 2017.

Bummer, but a lot of people have made the same decision over the years, and I can understand it. I've considered it once or twice myself, but I don't think I'll be pulling the plug anytime soon.

You might want to just leave your BBS online and on autopilot. You may take an interest in it again someday, and it'll be there waiting for you. (This is what I've done in the past.)

Glad to hear that.

What other projects are you going to be spending your time on? (As a person with too many hobbies, I'm always interested to know what other people do with their free time.)

I know you have an unexplored interest in ham radio - maybe you should take that up. :D

I will be keeping a copy of the Virtual machine so I could bring it back if I got the inclination to do so, But I think its just time to move on.. Not the longest running BBS in the world but only so much time in the day :)
Also hard to keep interest and justify the time spent when there is minimal user activity.. I have a couple regulars but even those are hardly ever on the BBS.

ham radio stuff is definitely something I keep meaning to put time into.. As for projects I have on the go,, Lots of little computer related crap.. Really enjoying my tilde server (yourtilde.com) and it takes a decent amount of time to maintain. Also trying to mirror a bunch of stuff on to my own local servers to get to a point where I don't need internet access for every little thing I do :)

Either way will be on IRC a crap load.
