Many of our old users have not returned, but there are lots of great new users. I probably shouldn't have given my old games away for someone else to run. I was guilted into it. As if I was the only sysop ever to take a year or so off. Oh well. I hope they're having fun. My guilt trip is over.

We are now linked with the awesome organization bbs-scene.org. Hats off to Frank, my old Fidonet hub, and the bbs-scene gang for a wonderful service. bbs-scene and synchronet are preserving the old-school BBS community, and thanks to dosbox team for making it possible to run a lot of old school bbs games on modern hardware. Thanks to Digitalman, Deuce, mcmlxxix, echicken, cyan, tracker1 and the rest of the Synchronet team.

And thanks to Osprey Networks for giving me a radio show, Free State Music, Sunday nights at 10 EST at http://peer.ospreynet.info:8001. Use WinAmp or hit Osprey Networks Website below for a free toolbar with listener service.

Apologies for the previous post's whining. It is what it is. I did what I did. Now we move on.
