Do you think the CommodoreNet network could use a C-Net Echo? FidoNet, ArakNet, and RetroNet already have one. Though, not everyone has those networks. Of course it will be dedicated to the C-Net BBS Program for the C64, C128 and Amiga.
Give me your thoughts please.

I like the idea, but if you are adding echo's for specific Software's don't ignore the other ones, Image, C*Base, Color64. etc. I know you are partial to C-Net, but others like myself are partial to other softwares. It is something to think about..

Seems to me that the network is currently quiet, adding another echo .. not sure of the value given thre's alreay a BBS echo which is in low demand...
- Is the Vic20 one of use?

You are right, and we have a BBS Echo. I guess we just need to start conversations for each BBS in there.

If you really want to break down the softwares, you can set up a BBS Echo for Amiga BBS software, C64 BBS Software, and C128 Software. Then people could post inside them. My only concern is these could turn into more dead echo's unless someone is feeding them daily, and that is tough to do. My opinion which changes like my underwear, is keep things status quo, post feeder messages in the BBS Echo, then see how they fly. If say C-Net post is getting a lot of messages, consider opening an echo for it. Do this over say a 6 month period. It is better to compact these networks then keep adding echos. Look at fido, there are probably a thousand echos, but only 20 get used. When I took over the Image Network back in 1990 we had like 30 echos, which was nuts! I watched each echo over a 6 month period took the popular echos and left them alone and took the slower ones and combined some. This net although it being around a few years, is brand new, a lot of sysOp's don't even know it is back and don't know it is under new management.. Those are the folks that need to be courted again.. Ah.. I'm babbling..

Hi there....

Maybe we should start with our Main-Hobby (BBS Programs and their Tools/Add-On's)
and see, if that works? A lot of us had collected tons of these during the years. A
reissue would be good and fine from my point of view!

And with everything.... Promotion is everytime a good idea!
But also in this case, less is more!

@Gary: Which of the systems in Carlos old nodelist are still online?

BTW: My forum is still looking for interesting Users/Sysops for/to this topic. www.sysops-finest.org

Greetings from Germany

Mike
