Yes, all the time, especially lately since there have been a lot of developments going on with it. But even prior to now there have been regular Saturday meetups plus weekday chatter. There are idle periods, sure, but I'd say less often than on your typical IRC server.

dunno, i'll pass. my experience with talking with bbs people people in real time is that they are extremely boring and/or they pop in to want help and dont come back after they get it.

BUT, the ddial people are real cool, it's smart to gate to their chat server.
i wish i had more time to be on there but i work a shitty schedule now.

I find most of the BBS people on MRC very helpful. When I started my BBS I ws clueless and the people on MRC help me out with a lot of things.

The DDial folks are pretty awesome! Good peeps in there.

Spend some time in MRC and you might be surprised. We do have some fun also.
It does go through its slow periods. Lately itsbeen pretty active with all the new MRC clients being made.

yeah but i don't need help with anything. i've been doing this shit for decades.

whenever i go in there it's dead. i know some of those guys hate my guts because i trolled them. I just hate self important people that are obsessed with face. I talked to meatlotion in the past, but he might be mad at me for busting his balls about the website where you pay to get bbs sysop certified.

If i did something like that i hope someone would bust MY balls about it.

btw, dont forget to join the sysop union and make sure you pay your dues.
