    Wouldn't it be something if BBS's became the replacement for groups/message
    bases covering white supremacy and white nationalists, since Facebook and Google has banned them spreading their ummm information?

    No it wouldn't be something - it would be awful. I would refuse to belong to
    any network that allowed groups like that.

    lots of BBSers are interested in getting more people into the hobby so that'd be pretty bad for buisness.
    who'd want to try out a hobby if they think its swarming with white supremecist folks?
    i dont want white supremecists potentially ruining this for folks.

    While I understand your sentiment, if avoiding a swarm of white
    supremacists (or any other fanatics) was really a deal breaker for that
    many people, there'd be no internet or social media. Numbskulls are everywhere, and they love social media.

    Agree on all grounds. I'd love to see BBSs remain open and inclisive.
