Hello everyone!
I'm getting my BBS up and running once again.
A little background information about me. I used to run one of Orlando's most popular BBS called The Lair of the Wolverine, which ran a single line instance on a modified WWIV software.
I tried re-launching the BBS about a few years ago but didn't keep at it. I am now trying to get things going again as I've become quite nostalgic on "the good ole days" and want to see what I can do this time around.
For some reason, that sounds vaguely familiar. I've been out of the ga for some time though, I hope everything works out for you, brother.
what happened? is this a reply to a real old msg?
cant find it
I just joined this BBS and I already enjoy it.
Keep up the good work!
I joined because I love the nostalgic feel of a BBS :)

Mein Gott, I barely have time for one!
That's what I was thinking.. I'd rather put my time into making one great BBS, rather than running several BBSes.. Unless perhaps if I was experimenting with different BBS software.
When I first set my BBS up in the early 90's, I probably switched BBS software every few months. VisionX, Oblivion/2, ProBoard, MajorBBS, Wildcat!, Excalibur, Citadel, Insanity, Telegard, and PCBoard are BBS software I went through over the course of 4-5 years.
I wonder why I couldn't ever keep users back then? :D

Before deciding on RemoteAccess, I think I had also tried Wildcat!, Maximus, Spitfire, Searchlight, WWIV, Telegard (was Telegard the same thing as T.A.G.?), and PCBoard.

I am working on getting my T.A.G. bbs back up. When I get it all ready to go I will let you know and you can check it out.

:) I tried a lot of BBS software, including a few of those, but I eventually settled on RemoteAccess. For the first copule years though,
I'm curious too: what was the relationship between TAG and Telegard?
And was there a version of Telegard that was not actually a WWIV hack?
Inquiring minds want to know...
I looked around various BBSs and decided I liked the user experience of RemoteAccess better than the others and went down that route, when I eventually started my own board.
I run 2 BBSs, because I want to run 2 different software packages. ;)

I was disappointed after RemoteAccess was bought by Bruce Morse and he
to run events, and I thought that was a bug, so I ended up looking for other BBS software and decided on Synchronet.
Can you imagine if all the SyOps got together and brainstormed a new BBS? Whoa! What would that look like? Unfortunatley SysOp's have really Big Heads so it would never work out. Who would be the SysOp of the SysOps? Oh man "Food Fight!" HA!

I'm on the east coast (Ny) and I ran a
few boards and I don't recall seeing and Syncronet Boards in my area.
Renegade was popular. I started with it and switched to Searchlight cause I felt the RIP graphics was really gonna take off. We had many Wildcat and PcBoard systems. No Synchronet. This was around 96-97 I guess.

I would have stopped calling when you took the first board down. But that's
just me.
I'd love it if we could grow the number of BBSes again to levels of the 90's, but I'm not holding my breath. :-)
The one thing I really like about Synchronet, though...is the utility
that Rob Swindell put in, to allow non-fossil doors (that worked fine under dial-up but not telnet) to actually be set up like it did have a fossil, and it could work under telnet.

I seem to remember it being around 1999 (maybe 2000) when RemoteAccess was
few boards and I don't recall seeing and Syncronet Boards in my
area.
I don't remember seeing any Synchronet boards in my area back in the day either (I'm in northwest Oregon). When I was looking for software to start my BBS again, 2007 was the first time I had heard of Synchronet.
It went from "my modem is bigger" to "my router and network are
bigger". It takes "size does matter" to a whole new level. <G>

That's no joke. I messed around Synchronet for windows. Easy Peasy install and the darn thing was waiting for a call. Edit a few lines in the easy peasy config editor and you ready to go. Keep in mind I was pulling my hair out with BBS software in the 90's so Synchronet made installing a BBS a snap! I just thought I'd add my 2 cents about the software. Don't get me wrong. There is still a lot of setup for a SysOp to do but man. I remember the software couldn't talk to the modem. The fossil drivers would crash or would'nt load. Digital Man made installing a BBS a snap!
All the doors I had under GT Power, and Virtual Advanced, are under Synchronet. Plus, with Synchronet, it's the first time I can see "The

How many Linux-native BBS doors are there? I run my BBS in Windows, so I haven't really looked for Linux native BBS doors.. The vast majority of the doors I have are for DOS, and there are maybe one or two that are Windows-native.

Synchronet comes with a bunch of them. Actually, calling them native might be misleading because they are in JS. However, I have at least three doors set up that are linux native and that are being currently maintained... Galactic Dynasty, For Honour, and Legion.

There are many native BBS doors that either were written for *nix BBSes or have been ported there (e.g. http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/doors/).

I saw at least a few Renegade and Searchlight BBSes in my area. It seemed l the most popular ones were RemoteAccess, Wildcat!, and MajorBBS. But others were certainly popular. It seemed like there were so many BBSes that I saw lot of BBS software packages being used in my area back in the day. I originally used BBSes from 1992 to the late 90s. Synchronet was still fairl new when I started using BBSes, so perhaps in my area Synchronet just hadn't caught on yet.In the Northeast US it was PCBoard, Wildcat and among the *cough* warez boards WWIV. It seemed to be popular because of the custom mods. Never saw a Synchronet board in the dial-up days.

Hi folks! It's been a long time since I posted a message to a real BBS!
I'm connecting via an old Apple IIgs, with serial cable to USB adapter, to my modern computer running Windows OS, and tcpser for a Hayes modem emulator.
What's really cool is, I've found a terminal program which seems to translate some ANSI- not the colors really, but way better than strictly ASCII mode!
I'm not really sure if this is perhaps a fidonet relayed message base- if it is local (to bbs.synchro.net:513) this BBS is REALLY popular!
Anyways, this is really a lot of fun- makes me want to put back up a bbs- I ran a Wildcat!4 back in the mid '90s, and a few years ago ran an emulated C-64 running Color64, and that was online for a little bit too- very fun!
We shall see!
Anyone play the MUDs here? What kind of computers are you connecting from? Anyone from USA here? I'm near Annapolis. Take care!

Hello Everyone! I'm new to BBS - wanted to try it out, given I've
heard a bit from podcasts and websites. Not sure what I'm doing, but
want to learn. Any guidance would be great - Thanks!

I myself am here because you can chat and message without all the
"noise" that can exist elsewhere.

Same here. :-) I remember the old days of posting/reading. I used to play some games too, but that was when it was actually local, and not just Internet. :-)
Internet just meant mainstream. Us true old schoolers still use BBSes and will as long as there is still a 2% we can. =)

Oh my, you mean I'm not the only one that remembers the 'old days'? Oh boy.
Someone want to help me find a corner of the house to set up my 1040STe in ?

You'll have to find out who your local telco provider is to get a landline made active. Depending on the BBS, you'll need long distance calling, and that could get expensive.

Ya... that's not exactly happening. I know the local telco, they're the one I pulled out one of the Courier's I decommissioned 10+ years ago from Cisco
Lines were cruddy where I'm at too. I'd average 31.6k. No cable, no fiber, no DSL, No WISP.
