I would like to do a little advertising for a forum here.
Thematically it's about the hobby BBS specifically and in
general. Everything related to this hobby is or should be covered
in this forum. The forum is in no way intended to compete with
existing structures. Rather an online round table for everyone
interested in the topic. Realtime chat function is added, also.
Address is: www.sysops-finest.org
After a fault on my side I've got a complete Data loss and I have
rebuild this forum last and this week.
My wish would be that it could be well received by you and that a
lot of information and experiences could be exchanged there. As
with everything, it can only be a success with your support and acceptance. Each of us can contribute a knowledge to this topic.
I am firmly convinced that the basic idea is not a bad one.
Of course I am open to requests, changes or suggestions!
So.. maybe you will give it a try? I'm curious about your
feedback!
My feedback would be: Why do we need a "web forum" to discuss BBS'ing? We can discuss BBS'ing right here on .... BBSes.
What does it offer that we don't have here already?
But good will from my side isn t enough to fill this Forum with life, knowledge and expierience! But what do you invest? A little time and your big
Knowledge! Not more, but also not less! It is always easier to say things dead. And . it is right.. Nobody said to me, do this.
But I love this hobby (bbs ing), many of you, too! I wanna show interested people how great, beautiful and interesting this Hobby can be.
That s my goal!
Thank you for your answer! I agree with that! But most of the young user don t know the nets, or BBS. They know www and forum s.
So my way is to present a plattform for this in german and english language. Because here in germany the scene is small.

Basically, it's about bringing your knowledge from all the individual news net
rks back to one point. I cannot add your knowledge into it! In my opinion, if u like, it is a knowledge investment for future Sysop's, also for German-speak
g countries. We wouldn't be here if we didn't enjoy this hobby.

How about a gallery of BBS welcome screens, a list of offerings
on those BBSes, etc? SBBS-listings and TelnetBBSguide and
IPTIA have various implementations of that already.
i suggest you setup a forum and network it to your bbs msg bases.
if you're using synchronet you can use nntp to link them.
a few of us did that back in the day.
Thank you for your suggestion! I have to look, if this could be possible with the
commercial Software (XenForo). But I'm not shure if this could be realized.
But Messages are only one part of the forum. Maybe you can take a look on it and get an impression of what it could become. I think the forum is something between reading/viewable and direct showing/helping... One day.
www.sysops-finest.org
People who may be planning to open a BBS themselves, to provide assistance with hardware/software/tools, etc., so that the BBS family remains as large as possible.
Therefore, and I can only repeat myself, a forum only works if there is acceptance and
the meaning behind it is understood. I like to repeat myself here. It's all about this hobby and not about me as a person.
This would work if as many people as possible recognized or acknowledged it!
In my opinion, be the ideal case!
how are you going to solve the problem of people not
wanting to use bbses?
that's the real issue. people prefer facebook, snapchat,
instagram, shit like that.

Reviewing the messages of Michael S, it appears that his focus
is for sysops, not users. My bad.
He wants to round up sysops that use a variety of bbs software
and have a central one-stop-fits-all place for sysops to share
stories and information. Hence, "Support Forum".
I also think that this discussion has reached a point where it should be ended now. I understood the negative attitude.
Maybe you remember, I've lost everything, which were created the two weeks before
about 10/12 days ago. So the last days, beside my normal work and family life, were characterized by having to completely reinstall the forum again, because no backup
were present, too. And of course that set me back. And new things also need time to grow. Every Sysop knows that, too. And nobody couldn't tell me, that a BBS is finally created/filled within 3 or 4 weeks (The time after I bought the commercial Forum Software).
But I thought our points of view had already been exchanged? And your decicion stays.
And that's absolutly ok for me! We are living in a democracy.
Dear August
From me a very last reply to this topic.
I fully agree with Jason in some points, but not all!
I accept the negative attitude towards this forum, but that doesn't mean that I won't continue it. As I wrote, it would be easier, quicker and more versatile and probably better in the quality if many would support it. (Always for the interesting User or Sysop).
We are absolutly abandoning the basic tenor of my request!

Save your breath and run your forum however you like if it makes you happy.Oh i hope he does run his forum. and maybe he will back it up too.

That's not true, you're just mad because i said d'bridge sucks.
Most of the msg nets ARE full of lame ass bbs people leftovers
though. A bunch of them wouldn't be running without me as well,
not that you would hear them admit it. (not micronet)
I'll be looking forward to all the support you give his forum :D

I may not participate in his forum but he is more than welcome to use my hosting services anytime.
You should know that pretty much every Net or BBS you pollute uses my services to some degree, or has me involved at some level, all documented,

Ha ha! JH <attempts> to help me occasionally, but he usually just makes fun of my incoherent sentence structure.
Yep.. I thought something like this, too.
Being happy is always a thing. I think the topic is something special that deserves support. Especially here in German-speaking countries.
Hopefully I answered everything calm and wise?
Thank you for your answer Nick!
no no no. you need to provide your knowledge and input. that's what he ne

EOT.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but half of the time when I'm asking for help,
you
say you can't understand me.

You're not doing a lot to refute Nick's claims, now are you?
