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.
