"People have been using computers for social communication since the very beginning of the personal computer industry. Long before the Internet became accessible to the general public, people were hosting BBS systems, many of them focused on an interest group or local community."

Here at bbsnews we get asked a lot about our recommendations for Interbbs Leagues. I normally just redirect to other sysops or the message nets. But we like to do new stuff here. So I have decided to start interviewing people that are still key players in the BBS community.
I know we are a dwindling crowd, but we are still out there.
So in my first of 5 (hopefully) interviews we are going to interview One of the League Coordinator's of Gaternet, Timothy Cornett of Deep Space 69 BBS.
Looks to be some movement over at http://lord.lordlegacy.com/news.php
