    Hi there,

    I am a new user of the BBS network, and was wondering how much traffic still exists on here. I'm not old enogh to have experienced BBSes at their peak, so I wanted to check them out. Old tecnologies like this still fascinates me and I'm glad there is a community that lets me experience this.

    This particular message area ("sub-board") is just local to this particular BBS (Vertrauen) and not in a "network" and thus does not see a ton of traffic. To find more messages and active participants, I encourage you to check out the message groups here that contain message areas that are "networked" to other BBSes: DOVE-Net, FidoNet, fsxNet, etc. You'll see a lot more traffic on those subs.

    Thank you for the info. Makes sense with the number of active BBSes that singular ones don't have much traffic.
