To all FTN's and sysops listen below ....

Since 1994 I have had a BBS up and running in some form starting with WWIV dial up and currently Mystic. I am now at a point after 31 years to finally give it up and retire. This decision was not simple, as I have been noodling this for about six months. So, as of May, 1, 2025 I am doing to push the power button and call it quits. Both my BBS's are retiring and so am I.

I have removed you from both nodelists. Sorry to see you go.

Wow, 31 years, that's quite some time for sure...

Wishing you all the best!

I see the HUBs are already disconnecting you - just thought I'd mention that I have plenty of spare infrastructure and if you'd like to continue N4TDX's hosting, I'd be happy to host it - and even sysop it if needed.

But completely understand if its just time... cheers.
