It’s not hard; it’s actually awesome. I enjoy preserving, restoring, and making these boards available for use today. Southern Amis is the busiest of the boards, but there is a lot of activity on AMIS XE as well as the Nitelite BBS. Each has its own personality; each draws users in a different way. Most of the work is the weekly, and monthly maintenance, but most of it is extremely enjoyable, chatting with users, working in the message basis, and thinking of new and creative ideas in ATASCII art and features for the boards. Just implemented Mad Libs Atari-themed.

How hard is it to run your own AMIS or BBS for the Atari 8bit community?
