Years ago, when we had at least a dozen BBS's in the Little Rock
area alone, users and Sysops would gather at a local restaurant every
so often, to put names to faces, recruit new users to their BBS's, etc. Sadly, those days around here are long gone.
We had that sort of thing here in Rochester, too... back in the old NB>days... :) Reinforced the sense of community... :) And at least one NB>bbs grew out of a local computer interest group...
And the COOKING echo picnics are a different form of the same idea... NB>getting together in person, putting faces to names, and real-time NB>interaction... ;)
