On a random note, I've begun working on my BBS again... so there's that!

Over the last week or so I've been checking out old #bbs's #synchronet is the system I setup to learn with.

There are some semi standards for #bbs avatars as well. Both #synchronet and #mysticbbs (I believe with the proper mod) can do this. Perhaps this can be something to add later as well, for when in #textmode only

Editing ANSI like it's 1993. #synchronet #bbs

@blongden yeah, #Synchronet is a "modern" #BBS project, it's open source and cross-platform.

It's got a pretty thicc stack, including dialup, telnet, SSH, HTTP, FTP, IRC, finger, SMTP, gopher and moar.

I've run SBBS for... gosh, I guess ~15+ years now, and have coded thousands upon thousands of lines of custom code for it.

Deffo my fave BBS software!

I can highly recommend you give into your temptation! :modem: :ablobcatattention:

Welp, tonight I've compiled the latest #Synchronet #BBS code from repo onto a #Linux VPS.

I guess I should probably spend some time to security harden and customize it, before opening it up to the world...

I've written quite a bit of custom code for Synchronet in my days, and I love to run it as customised as possible.

So it's one of those things that could lead me down the rabbit hole for months on end... Ooft.

@vga256 ah no way! I also ran INiQ (the tetris was just... amazing. Still remember it today). :tetris: :ablobcatattention:

Also Renegade (my first stint as a #sysop), First Class, System/X, Pancake, and... well, a ton of other ones. These days I am a big #Synchronet fan.

Look forward to checking it out!

IT'S ALIVE!

I am trying to get an old-school #BBS up and running using #Synchronet... Am I crazy or what? #nostalgia
