I realize we shouldn't "campaign" to save a BBS, but now that they are officially on the endangered species list, I thought it would be good to try.
The BBS I'm talking about is the AbyssBBS, which runs over telnet. Joining is simple and fairly straight-forward. All you need is a connection to the internet and a telnet client. I'm not sure how well the Windows telnet client works on this (I use Linux), but if it doesn't work very well, you can download PuTTY for free, and use it as your telnet client.
What I'd like to see is for as many members as possible to join the board, and then to visit the board at least twice a week. Just check it out, maybe post in one of the rooms.
We already have two members: me and Chuckcmagee. We've been posting messages there for most of the month of September (I've been a member for a couple of years now).
Anyway, if you want to check it out, telnet to: bbs.abyssnode.net then just join by following the on-screen instructions.
