Eli was definitely a remarkable person, and I miss him. He always nudged me to
return to the fold when real life became the focus. He did a lot for the WWIV
community.

I'm hoping to bring my board back online. Well, technically, it's been online
all along, but I'm making time to do some maintenance on it now. What I now
have at https://bbs.wwiv.net (and https://bbsdoors.com) is running under Ubuntu
26.04.01. I've got a few doors working. Now that I have a somewhat repeatable
process, I'll migrate the rest of the doors to the system.

I hope also to reintroduce file transfers back to the mix. I think there are
probably some neat ways to generate dynamic file transfer listings and make
sharing easier within the browser. I used to do something similar with an app
I wrote to parse the directories and create FILES.BBS type listings that were
FTP links, but I think it can be done differently and better today.)

Anyway, I hope to be online more!

Frank
