I used to be an avid BBS user way back when. Part of the problem is that there is no real sense of community in a lot of places. There are way too many people and sometimes this creates cacophony.
BBSes used to be maybe 1 or 2 dialup lines and people used to mostly find out about them thru word of mouth or in the case of "31337 boards", thru invites or reputation or what haveyou.
There are still a few telnettable BBSes with real intellectual and indepth discussions out there if you know the right people and know where to find em.
Kinda OT. This awesome software is coming to Linux. I am beta testing it now. Finally an industrial strength 3D animation software for Linux ( I know Alias Maya is being ported as well ).
