Hello All.

Is this still an active newsgroup, or is this just left over on the news
server?

Best regards,
Marc

Well I've read this and replied.. I'm not sure if you consider that
active, but it is what it is.

It's been a while since BBS's were more popular than the internet. I
recently hooked up my USR 56k modem up so I could automate some phone
calls, and decided to go looking for a board to call. I was astounded
by the amount of boards still around. Some of then even quite active.
One of the boards I was on this morning just celebrated 10k calls.

Do you have any favorite haunts?
