Folks worrying about instances just up and shutting down because someone got in over their head don't understand how many BBSes I opened and closed over the years.

It'll happen. It's not the end of the world. It does suck. It doesn't suck forever unless you give up.

If an instance you're on closes shop, you can and will find another if you want one. Go easy on the poor soul who had to end a dream.

@djsundog Hell, I had a friend who was running a dial-up BBS at night unbeknownst to his parents and we had a rocking Solar Realms Elite game on it until his folks took away his PC
@lmorchard Ran a BBS out of my dorm room on my Atari 8-bit computers, much to the chagrin of my roommates. Actually had a fax-switch where folks had to dial 2222 to get to the BBS.
