    Nah, AmigaNet is exclusively for people who already know why they want to join... ;-)

    Because they like or own Amiga hardware, or have users that do? ;)

    Well,

    I mean.. I am already a member of Fido, which has an Amiga echo that isn't very active.. I am a member of RETRONet and C=ommodore Net. Both which have Amiga echo's that aren't very active.

    Any stats on daily or weekly activity rates that might make me make the effore.. So I don't just end up with more Amiga echos and "aren't very active"?

    AmigaNet isn't very active either except for the BBSNEWS and FILE_ANNOUNCE area's. ;-)
    A couple of times a year there are little bursts of message exchanges about a subject...

    There probably is a big overlap of users and bbs's, between those nets and areas...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Thanks, and to be clear...

    I am not trying to cast asperions about another FTN, just want to get a birdgs eye view if the product is worth the effort.. :)

    Appreciate your response.

    Well you can have a look yourself. There are bbs's that publish the AmigaNet areas. For instance: https://www.endofthelinebbs.com/?page=001-forum.ssjs&group=2 (except for the sysop area).

    Bye, Wilfred.
