Probably the usual reasons, that there's often a lot of bickering and drama on FidoNet.

Ok, I'll bite - what's *not* in the wiki? :)

I apologize for the pedantry, but the first line says, "I'm not referring to the message network itself".
It's an interesting read, though I'm not sure it answers the question.
I carry FIDOnet on my BBS, but reasons I can think of to not be a huge fan of the network include the amount of terrible bickering, the amount of areas that are devoid of activity, and the lack of any official rule changes since the 1980s.
I'm sure there are more, and, certainly, your page makes good points that are at least sometimes more true of FIDOnet than other nets.

I knew what you meant (what you were asking was about FidoNet proper,
not FTN). I just thought it was funny that I had a fairly recent blog
post with almost that exact same question. Sorry about that.

There are some really old farts that won't let go of the throne!

More like the 'other' throne. The one outside in the wooden throne room.

Hard nut to crack.
We need old farts to remember where we come from. Old farts should also realize they are not all boro kings anymore.

Wasn't me that asked, and, yeah, I was doubtlessly being a little too pedantic, because it _was_ pretty neat that you had a post answering the literal question, if not the intended question.
And, again, it's a great read. Thanks for posting it.
