Ivan has posed a good question. Those wandering in on the old BBS (often via the Farnsworth Chronicles) should see the "move" message. Once they see the old volume of messages or hit many of the links contained there. we can invite them to join. That is the key. The old BBS might be around for a longtime yet. I still check it for newbies. We all should check now and then as well.
The key is to use the tools found here to send a formal invitation directly via Email to the newbie.
