Are these still active? How many people actually use them? I'd love to join, as my first internet encounter was in the windows 95 era.

It is slow, but it works fine. It even detects using xterm with 209x75, with ASCII character set, and allows overriding them if the auto-detection doesn't work (I don't know what other possibilities are supported; maybe PC character set with DOS ANSI.SYS? and presumably also shellinabox, which I have not tried). They support both by telephone and internet; I didn't know they still did that. Also, the menu does not resemble the picture in the web page.

There are many active boards, and a lot of activity between them on FTN style networks such as fsxNet and ArakNet.
