C.G.,

Well, when a Sysop goes off on vacation, the BBS develops its own
case of "separation anxiety", and promptly crashes.

Right you are. Without fail, if I go out of town, something happens to lock up the system. Last time, a hard drive failed in my RAID setup, it kept going, but it slowed the system down to a crawl. It's def not a boring hobby. LOL

Yet, I try not to spend more than an hour with it a day...along with my
2 other hobbies...amateur radio and square dancing. Otherwise, I'm risking burnout.

I'm the same, with my jukebox hobby, and the bbs, and the 35 year old car, I pretty much busy all the time, but I make myself take days away from everything and just chill out. Tomorrow, I'm going to try to rebuild an amp in a jukebox for a customer of mine. I've got the amp on my bench, but it's so screwed up, I just make excuses not to work on it.. LOL. The BBS needs updating, so I've got to start working that soon. Looks like I'm gonna have to quit my part time job to have enough time to play again... LOL

I wish I had more time to play the games on the BBS...they help keep my
mind sharp.

I need to get with you on getting added to that. Some of the Synchronet
Games are InterBBS, but with the demise of the InterBBS competition with
Al Lawrence's Sunrise Doors a few years ago due to various issues with the server, I don't have any InterBBS games. Some of the message networks have InterBBS games, but I haven't signed up with any of them yet.
