    Why are you hiding yours? Because it's completely stock and boring? <CHORTLE>

    i'm not hiding anything.
    don't know what you are talking about.

    You playing dumb is..... comical.

    what the fuck are you talking about?
    both my bbses are public.

    are you talking about bbses.info?
    bbses.info was just a back end for the services i ran.
    it had the files from bbstorrents and ads for the bbses from bbsbanner

    you really dont know shit.

    As I said previously (and you snipped), your "BBS" is not publicly accessible. That's what you're hiding, doofus.

    i have 2 public bbses. if you're talking about bbses.info there's not
    much there. it's defunct aside from me using it for msg nets.

    still dont know what you have against me.

    I don't like blowhards or bullshitters. You're both.

    your wife blew hard on all your navy buddies.

    i'm not a bullshitter. i always tell the truth.

    you have always gone out of your way to take shots at me

    I've done nothing that you have not done.


    i don't even know who the fuck you are, and you've just always been a 'me too' guy attacking me when i'm arguing with someone else.

    you can't fight your own battles.

    think i'll add you back if you don't improve your entertainment
    value.

    Whatever blows your dress up. Knock yourself out.


    yeah i gave you another chance but you're stupid and boring as usual.
    i'll block you after sending this post out.

    from that time i proved you wrong. :D
    too much for your little ego to handle.

    but does everyone here see what i mean?

    I say we don't have users (which is a fact) and these delusional people
    take it personally and attack me. happens every time.

    it's not like it's their fault that bbses have had a slow slump for the last couple of years, but they take it personally.

    Mob mentality and delusions up the ass.

    And I just disagree - some of us, who have been pushing and marketing our bbSes - like we did in the 90s - do have unique users. I reply to dozens a week welcoming them and explaining bbSes to them - and a few stick around!

    But again - I'm sure you don't have users.

    I actually have a few. The majority are older than I am, though.

    yeah i have a few too. i dont really consider that normal capacity.
    a few years back we got hit with a big slump and it hasn't bounced back.

    Yeah, far far from capacity. I seemed to get a little bump during COVID,
    but that has not held up.

    there's a lot of people in denial about that or just don't have a good enough rspective because they haven't been around a long time.

    There are a few boards that do get a lot of traffic, although not full
    capacity and maybe mostly other sysops. Maybe they are more l33t than most
    of us. :D More power to them, though. Whatever is working for them, I wouldn't discourage.

    I've tried many times to get an account on PTT2/3, but they require you to be a citizen and use 2factor auth - even with a translation software, I couldn't get in...

    They used to have 300,000 ACTIVE users and have remained online this entire time with what I think we'd consider heavy usage even through today.

    I wish I could get in... there was a great article a decade ago that displayed many of their art over the years - a PETSCII/ANSi style that was really impressive.

    Felt like a corporate BBS, even bigger, with mods and co-sysops helping with the community.

    Yeah, in the past few years there was discussion of one in Taiwan that is
    very active, and about the software that powers it. I was curious so I
    tried to check it out but it is very much all in Chinese. ;)

    Back in the day, a network I was on (GT Power) had several nodes in Taiwan,
    but they also mostly participated amongst themselves. The only time you
    really realized they were around was when some of the users would post in
    the equivalent of the FIDO Asia Link echo.

    I used to just poke around on one of the popular ones but dude put in a kind of capcha thing. I think you have to visit a website and enter the code. i can't remember, it was a few years ago. Also i could barely make out what they were saying. I can make out some norwegian and german but taiwanese is beyond my abilities.

    Similar time-frames, my friend! I consider my "active" years to be 1992-1996. Retruned around 2018. It's a different time now, but still a blast.

    Those were good times for BBSing. I called BBSes starting in 1987,
    started my own in 1991, and during that period remember the BBS being
    busy almost full-time until I got a BlueWave offline message reader door
    in 1993 or so. Windows 95 came out and we were all in denial, but could
    see the number of callers drop.

    I went mail-only in 2001 and at that point my BBS had something like
    74,000 calls in 10 years.
