From: nephilim@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: Saving yabbs Date: Mon Aug 29 13:45:27 1994 I have a problem with paying for yabbs. Don't get me wrong, i _will_ pay for the privaledge but... I discovered yabbs by accident earlier this year. If i had to pay to use yabbs i wouldn't have given it a second look, i wouldn't have met half the people here etc, etc. What will happen to the casual passer by who is just looking to find something to do, which i'm sure is how most of us discovered yabbs, what then? I don't see that many newbies coming to yabbs and most of the new people we'll see will be net subscribers.... The idea is good to keep out the trouble makers however. The few people who want to spoil it for the rest of us, but freedom is one of the things that made yabbs what it is.... Think about these points... they are pretty important. Again i'd like to thank Alex, running a BBS isn't easy and i've learned from this experience. Thanks to roth who sofar for caring enough about YABBS to take it on. Nephilimu9350136@qub.ac.uk
