Your system just spammed the FN_SYSOP area with 107 messages that don't belong there! :-(

Bye, Wilfred.

For Wildcat users most traffic has moved to Discord which is why WINSnet was shutdown at the end of last year. Fidonet Wildcat has low traffic with a few queries about using Wildcat software.

It is good news that PXW is finally being updated which hopefully leads to new users, for that to happen SSI needs to maybe reduce the price of a sysop package and long term SSI will make money on th AUP. If you look at IPTIA
there are not that many Wildcat BBS's.
