Come Join in with everyone in the Chat Room to discuss BBSes and share some ideas of how to reignite the Bulletin Board System for the younger generation. telnet://telnet.sanctumbbs.com port:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2016-03-04 18:12 Should be able to be there! BTW, this is semi relevant: I have plans to start a "open" site for similar purposes (e.g. the future of BBS's and keeping people engaged). A every *early* document of ideas is here if anyone is interested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q0NcfjHkZrnzRSLr2eniTt jlrRQx22_1MJXrmUkieoc/edit?usp=sharing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2016-03-07 05:10 how many people showed up? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2016-03-07 14:27 Well that sucked. I had the time off by a hour - no one around by 11:00pm CST ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BryanLee35 · 2016-03-07 15:49 I know right I jumped on at 9:30PM, 9:45pm, 10:00pm and waited no one showed up... I suppose it must have been that people forgot about it or that it was too late since people had to work in the morning? Anyway let's not give up on the idea of doing this...it's a good idea and after speaking to quite a few SysOp's they all said it would be good to do it's just too bad no one remembered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BryanLee35 · 2016-03-07 15:53 Well a few people have said that they showed up just not at the scheduled time so I think this one was a bust however Orbitman said he would love to host the next one on his BBS. http://orbitbbs.ddns.net/connect.html Let's all put the word out with plenty of notice and try to get as many people as possible to join in. What do you guys say? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2016-03-09 22:04 I'm certainly down to try again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- inwats · 2016-03-11 01:50 I missed the reminder I'd set for myself. Hopefully I'll make it if there's a next time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BryanLee35 · 2016-03-11 19:43 I'll be sure to get Orbitman to schedule a good time and give everyone plenty of notice so that we could reach as many BBS Users and SysOp's as possible. Also maybe everyone who subscribes to this sub-reddit could help spread the word about the next BBS Meetup as well? Let's make this the biggest BBS meetup we can... what do you guys think about this idea? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- inwats · 2016-03-11 20:37 I think it's a great idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2016-03-12 18:25 thats the way it is nowadays. especially with bbs people ---------------------------------------------------------------------- denzuko · 2016-04-27 23:10 any plans for another regular meetup? I should be able to get a few of the guys over at Z1N and XM Core to show up.
