Bbses Admin

Back before all this Internet hype, people were playing games, downloading
files, chatting and sending mail via a service known as a BBS (Bulletin Board
System).

BBSes were VERY popular and at one time there were almost 50,000 BBSes in the
U.S. alone and hundreds of thousands across the world.

Since the late 1990's people have pretty much put aside BBSes because they
feel they can get the same and more amounts of information via the Internet
and WWW. People are now saying "BBSes are dead!", or "Just give it up!".

BBSes are NOT dead, there are several BBSes  on the Internet at excellent
speeds, with some really cool people and great content.

BBSes are great, because let's face it, there are just some things WWW will
never be able to do, and there are a lot of things that annoy the shit out of
most people that you wont find on a bbs.

Benefits of BBSes:

Files: Specialized File Areas (Some bbses gear towards hard to find files..
some that would take FOREVER to find on the internet!) Friendly file
systems;No pointing and clicking though 100 web pages to get those files you
want. You can find what you want, quick and easy, and Batch Download your
file Queue.


Message Areas: Converse with people that share your interests, instead of a
assorted bunch of nuts and "flooders"

Online Gaming:

Play "Doorgames" : Online BBS Games that the users use to interact with each
other. There are several games that are popular, such as The Legend Of The
Red Dragon, a game in which people go around killing monsters, and each other
while they buy better weapons/armor and send romantic mail to one another.
