I started a BBS on a 8086 with a 2400 baud modem, centuries ago in net time, a mere 6 years ago in real time. Back in the prime time of BBS' here in Phoenix, AZ, there were over 600 of them(!), now, there are less than 30 listed in the local free computer mag (may be even less as the last issue I picked up is a couple months old).
Almost as soon as I got a net account, I discovered MUDs, and started my own soon after. However, it's 15 mins of fame are over, it's still up but I rarely work on it anymore... once you know how the universe works, it no longer holds it's charm (which is why our universe rocks, unlike muds, you can always find something new).
