Ok, so as I ended up sticking with the Synchronet setup due to the fact network and internet integration is so much better/easier to set up than using EleBBS. It does have a greater learning curve as far as configuring[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Updated – I found an easier way to do this (knew I would…) and it’s at the bottom of the post One of things I used in my Proboard and RG setups in the ’90s was custom message headers…i.e. OBV/2[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Here’s another how-to from zharvek over at Archaic Binary. The original post can be found at the link. Tribbs was the second BBS software I ran way back in the early ’90s. I probably used it for about a year[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So I’ve added a few more games and things to do on the BBS foryou to check out. I also managed to get Ftelnet working as well. Using that page (above) as my default log in now just because it’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

There were some issues with Lunatix crashing and marking people as being logged in even though they weren’t. That has been fixed. Sorry about that if you got stuck not being able to log in.
Door games are not currently working. My BBS laptop finally bit the dust so I have moved it to a VM on my main system and unfortunately something broke in the move. Getting this error in my Synchronet logs currently:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
