can anbody recommend other networks to join? not a huge fido fan

What is wrong with FIDO?

Probably the usual reasons, that there's often a lot of bickering and drama on FidoNet.

If you stay away from the network sysop and politics echos, it is not too bad. The COOKING echo has a lot of friendly folks in it, so long as you try to vaguely stay on topic (and set a filter for the alter-ego of one Swedish
sysop who sometimes spams the area).

But yeah you probably want to avoid all of the sysop and politics echos.

There are some really old farts that won't let go of the throne!

Hard nut to crack.

We need old farts to remember where we come from.
Old farts should also realize they are not all boro kings anymore.

More like the 'other' throne. The one outside in the wooden throne room.

More like 'glass' though.... #-/

I'm not a young chicken myself any more, but these guys are even older, but they act like they own the ant hill.

They are just the ones really left after everyone else got sick of the bullsh*t. #-<

I knew what you meant (what you were asking was about FidoNet proper, not FTN). I just thought it was funny that I had a fairly recent blog post with almost that exact same question. Sorry about that.

Wasn't me that asked, and, yeah, I was doubtlessly being a little too pedantic, because it _was_ pretty neat that you had a post answering the literal question, if not the intended question.

Right, that was hallowone that was asked.

And, again, it's a great read. Thanks for posting it.

Of course. :-)

yep. if this is about provoking good people to be articulative about something, you all can blame me :)

and yes, DM's art was indeed interesting to read.
