Dream Master's girlfriend died like 5 years ago, he hasn't been really BBSing since .. so I'd say that one is dead.
Gamenet - Probably a year since anything was posted. WINSnet - Heard it was closing down 12/31/25 True??? DoreNet - Supposedly being revamped.
These 3 are the biggest ones I am looking for info on.. Anyone have info on these??
Pretty much every network except fsxnet and fidonet are dead. I was on

Zer0net is fine, and jp! is accepting new applications. Decent amount of chat there (no more or less than fsxNet IMHO).
He didn't want me first time around. If he wants my board as part of his network he can come ask me. I'm not begging for shit.
Zer0net has been opened up, and acceptance criteria has been loosened considerably. Ultimately, most of us are members of echo mail networks
in order to be able to participate in more active conversations with a wider variety of people than just what is happening in our local
message bases with our local users, even those of us lucky enough to
have very active local message areas. Having an 'elite' membership
when (more times than not) we have very little active conversation,
seems a bit self-defeating.
I'd think you outta give it another try... If BBS-ing is about
anything, it's about community at this point, and there is so much
more interconnection between our BBSs now in 2026, with shared One
Liners, Shared BBS lists for users to browse, More Networks, IRC Chat where users across BBSs can hang out, etc ...
I think you're looking at this all wrong. He does not need your board, but only you know if you need his network. He was always open in the past about Zer0net being quite exclusive back in the day, but that has been loosened up recently and more boards have been joining (at least 4+ in the past 4 weeks that I know of) ...

Kind of self-inflicted wound there. I guess they're going to go from a
dead private network to a dead open network.
Like you said, they are opening it up because they want more boards to join, so I would very much say they need my BBS more than I need their network.

Nah, not with that attitude. Which board is yours? Did you already apply? certainly hope you don't plan to.

I'm also part of this QWKnetwork and can't connect. Has the host system gone down or changed addresses or something like that?

You're telling someone who doesn't care. Move along.
