Yup all of my boards are on there.. Including some that have gone down. Need to update.. LOL

I place ads on CommodoreNet and I believe here on fsx for my boards.. Nothing to crazy.. Eventually, I will get ads on all of the nets if anyone is interested..

It's funny that was exactly why I put my board back up, I enjoy seeing it going from stock to something different. Back in the day when I was running C-Net then Image, I always started out with a minor modded board, then went bat crazy on it changing things around.. My final Image BBS back in 93 was a front for an Adult board, and a regular board. I wrote a mod into it that allowed my Adult users to press a key and the board would be totally adult, files, message bases, the whole 9 yards. When they were done, by hitting O for logoff would put them back into the regular board and log them off.. If porn wasn't so readily available today, I would do the same thing again on my Commodore Image BBS.. LOL

I have gotten to deep again.. I spend most nights reading echo's or in the case of my Image BBS writing mods for it.

I have something I am about to start working on with my Mystic that although nothing crazy will cut logon times and logoff times and that is what I want to do make it fast to get in then get out..
