Û±² 
 ² one of the most common questions or to be more specific, doubts, of all ² 
 ² of us and not just in the bbs scene, is "should i make this", "should 
 i publish that" or "will it be worthy" etc. people get afraid that if 
 they publish/make something, will be criticized in a bad way or they 
 just have fears that their work is not good enough. i don't know about 
 other scenes/areas but these are my thoughts, for the bbs scene. 
 
 today bbsing is a hobby, is a pation a thing that we do, because of 
 ² nostalgia. we continue bbsing, because returning to the past, in that 
 era, it gives us a warm feeling. it's like you have moved out from 
 your old neighborhood and one day, you came back for a visit. memories ² 
 of the past, never get forgotten. 
 
 i am saying this, because whatever project you have in mind and fear 
 to start or finish or publish, will not be critized the way it would 
 in the past. elitism, antagonism of groups is all gone. today we are 
 thankful that we have 3-5 ansi groups and some bbs developers and we 
 all support those, to keep going. so will be your project, your ansi 
 screen, your script etc. having a new coder/artist in the scene, by it ² 
 self is a big thing. releasing new stuff for our hobby is even bigger! ÛÛÛÛ
 for the last past years, i don't remember anyone making a bad critic ÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 ² for anything. all projects were welcomed and supported in some degreeÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 so why you should hesitate?ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
Û another reason is, that if you never pass your fear, you will never ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
Û publish anything. it hasn't have to be a big project. start slow andÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 low, small things at a time and from there you can go bigger. starting ÛÛÛÛ
 small, will give you the courage to expand/release your self ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 afterwards and overcome the fear. when you see that people liked your ÛÛÛÛÛ
 first small ansi work/script, then you will do more and more andÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 more... people will get to know you, you will make a circle ofÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 contacts etc.ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²Û
 ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 ² i know this, cause that's how i started also. the difference with me, ÛÛÛÛÛ
 is that in the past, i was making some releases, but for my local bbs ÛÛÛÛÛ
 scene. entering a different scene, after all those years is almost the ÛÛÛÛ
 same thing. but slowly, making small script releases, gave me the ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 courage to continue and even make an emag.ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
Û ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 for sure, there will be people that will like and others that don't,ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 your work... so what? this happens everywhere in our lives. because ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 someone disagreed on something, doesn't mean anything. as i said, ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 ² bbsing is all about our love to this old-style computing stuff. if you ÛÛÛÛ
 love what you do and have fun doing so, then it's totally worth it. ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 first you do it for your self, to have fun and if others enjoyed it,ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
 then good for all of us ;) so, don't overthink things... specially in ÛÛÛÛÛ
 the bbs scene is very easy to make stuff. you only an editor (text or ÛÛÛ²Û
 ansi) and you can write/draw stuff, even in the oldest machines. want ÛÛÛÛÛ
 to be 100% oldschool? install dosbox on your smartphone, and let theÛÛÛÛÛ²Û
 DOS path guide you... :) may the box be with you... ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²Û
Û ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²±Û
