Steve Reader There is no future. Not sure about anyone else but most of my callers are other sysops or users wanting to relive the good times and call a few times and then that's that. People, generally, are not bothered about bulletin boards any more, not when they can have instant email and instant news from the site of their choice. If they want to talk to people, they have facebook, if they want to view images, they don't have to download them, they can go to Instragram. If they want to real time chat, they have snap chat. Until someone can find a way to make board relevant in the modern society, you're doomed to talking to the same people on the same boards about the same subjects.
