    If it were me, today, I'd fill out applications for;
    fsxNet
    zer0net

    Now I'm tempted to sign up for zer0net...

    My BBS has only fsxNet and Fidonet, and I probably wouldn't notice if Fidonet stopped having messages. But it's kinda neat to be in a net that's continuously existed for 40 years, even if the net has limited value.

    Realistically, since my BBS is _mostly_ just for me, the question becomes more of, "what message bases would I actually end up reading?", and it's oftentimes rare that I get beyond this message area.

    And I figure that most people, when signing up for nets, wind up doing it during the, "My BBS is going to have everything!" stage that most people seem to get when getting started.

    Dude - you should... zer0 changed last year and allows non-scene [demoscene, ansi, warez; legacy scene] bbSes - I can make sure you're accepted, and its been getting substantially more traffic since the changes!

    Get yer app sent!!

    I think you'd like the zer0 crowd... a mix between fsxNet and ArakNet; and ANSi is a part of zer0... we need Adept in our FTN-lives!

    :P

    This is something I would apply too as well even though I don't have any regulars anymore. I do want to wait until I have my BBS back on standard X86/64 hardware first.

    Then it will be worth the sign up.

    I applied in 2000 and was basically ignored. Screw that.
