I have done that.  Thing is there are no BBS users in this area.  Never
really were.  I moved here in 1997, from Louisville, where I had the
board up about 10 years.  It was a long distance call from Louisville,
and also a long distance call from Lexington (where there was also a BBS
community).

The thing with this area is that most folks sort of skipped over the BBS
era straight into the Internet era.  My job is in IT and, back then, I
was one of my few coworkers who even had a home computer.  They didn't
start buying those until they wanted one to get on the Internet.

The only BBS in this area, besides mine, was run by state government, and
it was taken offline as soon as that department got their own website,
circa 1998 or 99.

So the only person who has ever posted in my "Frankfort local board"
during those 27 years since has been me.  ;)
