Maybe he doesn't understand what a BBS is. You're not providing access to the whole internet. If someone wants to get general like that, running a BBS is more akin to running a web site of some sort.

if you explain what a bbs is that makes it even more scarey.

there's a sysop i used to know who's father was the country coroner. he was a famous guy and in the news a lot and he was on court tv all the time as an expert. The son did the hosting for dad's website.

the son ran a bbs, and some reporter found the bbs and all those krad ansis.
it blew up and they made it into a scandal like the son was running thepiratebay or some shit. The father ended up being embarassed by it.
reporters even showed up at his house and knocked on the door.
