sure it will be hard to attract players. What we need is more users a SysOps. :)

The goal should be is promote content that big tech does not want us to talk about.
But that should be for PROMOTE_BBS.

people us facebook instagram and snapchat because they like it.

they dont want to talk to a bunch of weirdos on bbses.
half of us never grew up and are old.

i'm functionally retarded probably.

That might be part of it, but I think part of it is that social media has
easy to use (usually) phone apps and they get hooked by all the
likes/reactions they can generate. They can also cyber stalk their
favorite celebs, family members, co-workers, etc., in a manner that is legal.

the bottom line is what they use is just better than bbses.

More addictive for sure, and it is better for what they use it for.

yup.

yup.

yup! We're all on BBSs for the same idiotic reasons! ;)

I don't think it's a functionally retarded issue but we're just all
craving to relive the "good ol days" of BBS when life was a hell
lot simpler and the world not as "strange" as the current 'version'.

I have a BBS not because of users; but just for the sake of reliving
the past. It's kinda like a safe-haven.

i went through all that already.

I lived the old days, then relived the good ole days.
and now we've been living the dead days for the past 2 years or so.

There certainly was strangeness and complications on bbses.
