    Maybe we need to get Alex Jones the shock jock to start up a bbs since he is banned from all the other social media sites. Maybe that could add more awareness to bbs systems and maybe kick start the industry.

    Assuming you're not joking, he (or his team) would likely be more inclined to start up something like a Mastodon service: https://mastodon.social

    I wouldn't want him associated with my hobby in any way, shape, or form.

    I understand he is a bit tactless, but I was trying to think of a way we can get more users to the activity.

    Maybe someone like Leo Laporte who is more mainstream could be the one to
    help spark some life.

    He's dangerous, that's what he is, and Alex Jones is the last thing we would need.

    Leo Laporte is pretty vapid and if there's no money in it, he doesn't want anything to do with it.
