Are we making progress yet? > -- ASC:GUTHERY%slb-test.csnet The ACGNJ-BBS used to be an OPEN, NO REGISTRATION BOARD but due to all the children out there of all ages it requires you to leave your real name and a phone number. If anyone has ever run a BBS they will find out quickly why you can't leave it open. You get tired of Donald Duck, Goofy and the the elfs leaving obsene messages or credit card numbers and info. The best are the neat little trojan horses which attempt to wipe out the BBS or the hard disk of the unsuspecting person who calls the totally open BBS and downloads that little jewel. A verified user is unlikely to play game or won't last long on a BBS. Many open BBSs are so much work to keep clean they have a short life. Why should I spend my time, money and energy to provide a computer, phone lines and free PD programs to those who don't appreciate what is being done? If you want to remain anonymous, don't call the board, I don't care. -- Rick Tillbrook
