Too fancy for my tastes. I like how the systems are somewhat esoteric. It further pushes the thought that we're all undesirables who are probably assigned to Station 13 for the express purpose of being test subjects in some deadly social experiments.
On the other hand, a space BBS would probably fit in nicely. A nightmare to code, I bet. Still, neato. All of this stuff will basically run the same problem that we have will the mailserver. It's just not very compatible with a station that will only last 2 hours (MAX), and generally by 50 minutes in we have holes in the network due to explosions or power loss. This could be mitigated if these sorts of things could be made cross-round, but I don't even know if that would be possible. Otherwise it'll likely be 'a neat thing that people won't use'.
Well, the real thing that kills email is PDA messaging.
I do agree that there isn't much to do within the network. The most interesting things you can do on the wired network are: messing with buddys, messing with telsci, messing with the shuttle, and messaging the AI. I guess there's the nuke too, but that's more for messing with new people unless you want to go through all of the hoops for something that is less than (IIRC) a max canister bomb.
