Was wondering what you guys use your servers for? I generaly just use
mine for playing around with the crazy concepts in communication that I
like to learn about. I was born after the BBS and usenet days so never
got to see this stuff in its hayday.

Ping test who is seeing this seth m 26 usa.

I got into Usenet a short while ago largely just because Thunderbird
happens to support NNTP and I want to use /all/ its features in some
way. It's good to see that while it's way past its heyday, it's not
completely dead.

rec.games.roguelike.nethack is a nice read IMO. Maybe I should actually
play NetHack and not just watch people talk about NH?

I never got into Nethack, but I still play Angband from time to time, and
it's still a great game if one doesn't mind the near-total lack of modern
graphics. (Still moderating rec.games.roguelike.announce after all these
years.)

There's also Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, available locally and on servers,
sometimes with more modern graphics, oft times not.
