I closed down my BBS nearly 30 years ago.  I ran Bit Wiz Opus (115/689) for a long time.   I've forgotten what it was called in FidoNet but my system was the gateway for net 115 to the back bone for several years.  At a telephone cost of over $100/month.  I shut it down sometime in the early 90's.  It ran on a 10MHz 286.

It's nice to hear that Fidonet still exists though with direct email, blogs, forums, etc.  I'm quite surprised.

But then, I play with 50 year old PDP-8 computers so who am I wonder why people keep old technology running😁.

Don't forget fidonet (a network of bulletin board systems).

FidoNet is still a thing too.  I'm the NC of Net 138. (which sadly, is now just myself and a couple of other nodes.)
