    Hello All.

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

    Best regards,

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

    Well, at least there's someone other than me here! :) Geez, it was a LOT more active before.

    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?
