I'm still running my stuff, but one is out of obligation (datastream) and my
other 2 bbses are just up.  i use that server for other things, so that's why
it's all up.   i still have my irc up even though it's a small group of friends
and i think bridging it with telegram was a good move.

Regarding bbses again, I'm used to having a friendship with my users.  i'm used
to having a community.   What we have left is not that.  it's fine if people
like what they have but i don't agree.  it's not that i don't understand why
people do things, i do.  There is no soul left to it.

Hopefully the users come back, but I think they're gone for good.
