Yeah, I don't really want to add relaying, if all it gets is a bunch of
unused servers talking to each other.

Yeah, someone needs to be motivated to actually turn up each week even if
it means idling by themselves for an hour or so - because if people do
turn up and no one is there, they will leave. I noticed on my server when
I was running it, plenty of people connected, just not at the same time.

I'm not all that motivated to be honest. I'm happy to chat etc, but given
timezones, it can be a pain to get there every week at a time that suits
most.

I don't really see this happening, I'd love to be wrong, but I think most
who have a BBS will pick one or the other and 99% of the time they will
pick MRC, because it's established. This strangely opposite to echo nets,
where everyone wants ALL the nets no matter how dead they are lol.
