    I had a feeling that this year was going to be a good year for the “BBS” and think that feeling is correct.

    The response that my .: Humble BBS :. Bulletin has had is staggering! And its so nice to see that so many people care about the humble BBS these days.

    Yes, at times the discussion got a bit heated but that's a good thing. We all seem to have a passion and a view about things and that's good to see.
    I feel like there is a renewed interest in the BBS, To re-ignite the flame that seemed to be dying out. Well so many of you out there wont let it go out and turned up the heat!

    So many new projects & ideas seem to be popping up, Lots of great ideas for new add-ons or new software to help us all get new users and utils for adding to our already fantastic network.
    I just hope that these will become a reality, as talk can be cheap... Having said that i'm not a programmer and dont really appreciate the hard work that goes into a piece of software.

    No one else has a network like ours, No “Website” can emulate or duplicate the kind of community we have here, Sure there are forums and social networks and they have their place on the internet just like we do..

    Most forums are limited to one specific topic, Fishing, R/C Models etc but WE have it all & more!
    A strong message network & infrastructure, The online games, the live chat, Email the list goes on...

    I feel maybe its time to re-write or update the guides or the tutorials for the BBS users. To have a beginners guide to our amazing world based in 2015. A modern and simple guide to get people started and more users using our fantastic network.

    I feel we need to increase peoples awareness of the BBS on the internet.... I asked a few people in my local area about BBSes and they said “ Ahh I used to use them back in the 90's and they still around” Or people feel... dare I say it ….” Nostalgic “ and wanted to see what it was like today.

    It makes me feel like im running a museum?? where people can “pop in” from time to time to have a look around until next time. But these people just don't realise about the huge network of systems at their finger tips. They are so blinded by the web sites of today and having to go-to all manor of different websites to get what their looking for.

    I know there is an App for the mobile phone that is being developed on one of the BBS sites at the moment, when and how this will finish I dont know but it can only be a good thing for the network.

    Looking through some of the old network messages and files I came across a few magazines... These were great and I wish a more modern approach to these would continue maybe in PDF format?
    I dont mind taking the time to do a monthly magazine in PDF format if people want to get involved and write a few articles?
    We would have to come up with an interesting name any ideas??

    It would be nice to hear from you all and your input

    Many thanks for reading...
