These ideas, energy, and TG> passion, are what make or break BBS'ing.

Whether a BBS truly is nothing more then TG> a relic, I refuse to allow myself to have that mindset, as it only takes TG> a few good coders and artists to really show people that there is TG> relevance to BBS'ing in 2021.

TG> TG> -tG Wow, Doug... thanks for this reply. Like... a lot. :P I know I missed it for a couple days, my week has been hectic. Wow... lots to unpackage. I also like the Discord stuff, and mL with his MRC-LOBBY area... and other 'social' aspects of his D channel... I think he's doing a great job. Giving US ideas, even... and yea - its so cool to join the meat-up when I'm working, and otherwise wouldn't be able to... I'll share, tho - I need to make sure I'm not driving and graavy train'ing. OMG. :P And dangit, tG... I wish you'd of told me earlier that you got SOME callers from 'your ads'.. I asked. :P Anyway, YES... I try really hard not to over-do it on the non-BBS sites, because I think nothing would be worse than to BOT-Post stupid videos EVERY damn minute. But you're right, I did make an advert for The Underground, and... I think I should post it again - I just didn't think it worked for you as well as I, and... I have plans for a version 2.0 that has MORE of the how-to BBS and not only MY BBS in it. :P Regardless, I think I'll keep PLAYING with this marketing... you are in it, for sure. And I'd LOVE to post other big boys.. like the Wormhole... but haven't yet. They'll tell me if they don't mind being in cool reddit videos. I do try NOT to spam them... and I've seen an influx of calls because of them. (Or, IT.) Doug, you do GREAT with the modding... I freaking LOVE seeing what new stuff you come up with @ Underground. Party Time is AWESOME, Hitman is AWESOME, and I see you growing and learning to mod better. Good job, dude. I have a good idea... but I'm slower than you. I'll share it in RCS, Doug... I love that tG has kinda of opened his The Underground Discord channel to me... at least for me to use, and invite folks to... I certainly don't have the time to do another THING, and its really cool that I can still have a 'home base' on Discord. I am thinking of doing a weekend hour for new sysOps, to answer their questions - I think it'll be beneficial for them to hear their peers questions; and they will come away learning info that they didn't even know they might have needed. We'll need some mature sysOps to help with answers, and I would love to use The Underground Discord to host it. :P Maybe I can even rustle up a channel/area for new sysOp questions- or some title we come up with. The list of things you're currently doing is great, tG... I know you've been giving help out. I try to, also, mostly thru email on my BBS. Ulysses asks daily questions, NUKE is switching over to Mystic and I've tried to help him - and while MAXMOUSE is better than me at many things, I was trying to guide him (guide... god, he is a mature sysOp... I don't mean in the normal new user way) but.. anyway, I've been doing that too. :P Yer board looks great and we can certainly see your hard work Doug. Mostly, thanks for joining this discussion. I love that everyone is willing to help me... this community is just so... BBS. :P Best ever. |07p|15AULIE|1142|07o |08......... --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/01/26 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbs>>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1337:3/129) .
