No, I was talking about the ones that unzip the archive, get a telnet address and click on the .exe and never look at it again without havi ANYTHING done to it.
Who knows? maybe they thought it might be fun, it's not all that fun,
but they leave it up to see what happens, then realize it's just not fun and take it down.
Personally I don't care if the BBS is stock or modded up the wazoo, so long as the sysop has an interest in the hobby and is doing something about it to engage with it by spinning up some software I say 'go for it, and welcome to the community'
I don't get annoyed with stock BBSes, but there is little incentive for
me to call them. I can read fsxnet on my own BBS. The main reason I call BBSes apart from testing things, is looking around, seeing what people have done.
I certainly don't think they should be excluded from the hobby or something like that.
Having said that, I think people that unzip a package and set it up,
join a few nets and then sit back, only to shut down after a little
while, maybe testing the waters, or seeing if it's for them. I don't
think they should be excluded either, just suggesting that perhaps
that's why they do what they do.
I was talking about games with tiny earlier in fsx_gen, how we buy games and then never get around to playing them - perhaps the interest is
there, but the motivation to continue is not.
Who knows. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons people do what they do :) some stick around though :)
I was interested to read you both sounded like you have all these different games but tend to gravitate to the same one(s) vs playing the new ones you have more recently acquired - did I understand that correctly?

Don't I know it :) Some even get to become Old Timers just for doing so
