Not if you ever want to get your money's worth. Over the years I have seen literally dozens of BBSers bilked out of their money by seemingly "NiCE" BBSes who ask for their money, these boards are up for less than 3 months generally and then they disappear off the face of cyberspace with YOUR $$$ never to be seen or heard from again. BEWARE!!! I will be adding a new flag next year to identify BBSes which have been up more than 1 year, for this very purpose. In the meantime, INVEST wisely!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Also download FE-VIEW 1.1 for a nifty ANSI color BBS Directory Viewing Utility. The easy way to view the directory. * Please distribute this file amongst the boards unedited. * For more information on any of these BBSes or to register your BBS for next month's Directory Update call Fire Escape's BBS Directory Headquarters at 314-741-9505. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1993 Fire Escape.
