    Yes. But the real question here is, will you be back visiting that board in 2026 to read this reply to your message. ;)

    HI there, I just came to this BBS (mojos - bbs) that is out of Jackson Michigan and stopped by because I have been learning how bbs work. So yeah, there are people around it looks like, though it is not as popular as they were obviously from back in the era that the bbs was around.

    Best wishes man and good to see people on these.

    Cool, glad to see you have interest. Certainly true that the BBS has
    declined in popularity over the years, but they're still around.

    Best wishes man and good to see people on these.

    Thanks and same to you. Hope you stick around a bit.

    What was the first bbs that you called in 79? Just curious. I started to called bbs'es in 1985 and believe the first system I called into was a CompuServe multi-line system. It was shrotly after claling into CompuServe that a friend of mine that worked at a local Radio Shack printed me out my first bbs list to start calling.
