Disboardia, a new BBS written in Ruby reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2016-02-03 17:32 Very cool to see another new modern BBS package! When can we expect to see Disboardia in action and the source available? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- au1977 · 2016-02-03 23:46 I don't know exactly, but I'll work on making the source presentable sooner than later if people really have an interest. And just as a little preview, right now it has 109 tests, 277 assertions, and all of them pass. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- the-crotch · 2016-02-04 02:56 Oh shit, it's the Barney Splat guy! Loved Barney Splat! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JasonLeeH · 2016-02-04 04:35 https://www.reddit.com/r/bbs/comments/4409hx/disboardia_a_new_bbs_writ ten_in_ruby/czmx5oi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paco_Smithereens · 2016-02-04 08:03 Love the name! HAIL 3R1$! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Proglodyte · 2016-02-04 16:22 All hail Discordia ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2016-02-05 23:05 sounds good. hope you follow through with it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mattopia1 · 2016-02-06 14:38 BarneySplat! was my *favorite* door game. I ran it on my BBS and would often take the board down to play it. I dialed into the author's board from time to time and was usually ranked in the top few high scores. I wonder if/how Disboardia will support legacy door games? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- au1977 · 2016-02-09 20:21 Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome! Yes, I wrote Barneysplat!. Yes, of course Disboardia will support legacy doors so we can play it. That will come later though, I try to only implement things as needed. I will follow through, I have passed the point of no return. I remember thinking that as winter came to an end last year. I have put too much work into it to stop now! Good then, I’ll keep you all up to date. I also post on my BBS at disboardia.net. I’ve almost finished themes, the last piece to the puzzle, so perhaps after that I’ll get some documentation together and start releasing the source so you can have a look. Over the last year when people have asked me if I would remake Barneysplat! (and some have) I’d say I have something even better in the works, now I hope that makes sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2016-02-10 15:47 Excellent news! :) Been running BS on my board since I put it up. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ThomasTheFourth · 2016-02-25 05:41 Does disboardia have a github repo somewhere? I'd love to see what you've done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tidux · 2016-04-15 09:22 aaaaand it's just another Synchronet node. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- au1977 · 2016-04-18 05:04 Hey everyone! I just wanted to keep this thread active. Firstly I finally got Synchronet working on my Linode, so if you tried my BBS before then try again. Just telnet to disboardia.net. I have Barneysplat! and a few other thigns. I'll have some more fun when I have the time. I've also made a little more progress on Disboardia itself, but have had a lot of professional programming commitments so haven't had as much time as i'd like. So it goes. I haven't forgotten or anything, and I never will. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bumblebe5 · 2016-05-01 17:52 "You try to kill Pablo and...
