    I don't get sites like this:
    https://synchronetbbs.org/

    Neither do I. Seems like they're trying to make money by selling
    pre-fab SBBS's for "sysops" that don't know how to run one themselves.
    I think that's "Marisa's" site.

    Yeah, but I think there have also been a couple of sysops over the years
    that have used it when they don't have the resources to host it themselves.
    That would be an easy (although, IIRC, less flexible) alternative for them.

    I suppose that's probably true, although I think it's more expensive
    than using something like a $5/mo VPS on a cloud server. <SHRUG>

    Or Discord channels dedicated to "supporting" Synchronet. Why? We already have #synchronet on irc.synchro.net

    no idea why!
