Synchronet BBS • /r/synchronet reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RealDeuce · 2015-03-21 07:29 I'm starting work on a Synchronet message base to reddit gateway. Hopefully, this sub will eventually be gated to DOVE-Net. For the next few months however, it's mostly a test reddit. However, I do read it, and I work in the office next door to Digital Man. Posts will be seen by people who care even before the reddit gateway is working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnaClocker · 2015-03-21 19:10 Speaking of Synchronet, anyone know what happened to Dink and his board, The O-Zone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- samalex01 · 2015-03-21 19:29 Awesome! Its like Reddit is turning into what USENET was 15+ years ago. Thanks for all you guys do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- char2 · 2015-03-22 02:43 Except instead of being infrastructure it's controlled by one company :(. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- samalex01 · 2015-03-22 07:32 Yup I agree, that is a negative point. I did like the decentralized nature of Usenet. But if Sync can gate to Reddit and others start doing the same at least some subs on Reddit can be decentralized to some degree. Granted not the same as NNTP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- samalex01 · 2015-03-23 15:22 I was actually wondering the same about X-Bit. A few long time boards have gone silent recently. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2015-03-27 04:26 dink went through some life problems and shut it down. i do have one bbs buddy who knows him but i dont know when the last time it is that he contacted him. i google stalked tom (DiNK) and he looks to be living in the same general area and i think he's working. maybe now he's just through with bbsing. i have a mirror of his sites at mt32.bbses.info ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2015-03-27 04:26 xbit comes and goes. he also does not answer email too often. i think he just lost interest again ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnaClocker · 2015-03-27 04:33 I had uploaded the source for two of my door games to his board, and I went through some life problems of my own and lost all of my local copies of that source. I'd sure love to get those files back. I always hoped his board would pop back up into existence. I was surprised he wasn't in the bbs documentary, his door game cracks made running a free bbs far more feasible back in the day. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2015-05-03 02:11 he probably isnt coming back. if you can give me a filename i can search for it in my large archive.
