Easiest BBS software to use? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-03-09 04:07 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2018-03-09 05:26 Author of ENiGMA here. I imagine Mystic is the easiest followed by Sync, though I'm sure many would argue the reverse. Enig is made to be highly customizable, and definitely requires more tweaking, though the default system should just work out of the box. If you do give it a try, always here to help and #enigma-bbs on IRC can be useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2018-03-09 07:38 you can run any bbs software you want. you can use net2bbs to run any old dos software, also. i've tried them all and i would say that synchronet is the most complete and easy to run software right now. that's why i use it, actually. it takes some getting used to. if an idiot like myself can figure it all out, anybody can. i would run a 32bit windows vm so you can run dos doors easily. i've checked out those bbs doorgame servers on a regular basis and they dont have much activity. sometimes it's better to run your own stuff on your bbs, there's more control and you can change things up a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-03-09 08:38 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-03-09 08:42 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2018-03-09 13:41 My take on the game servers is that they're good for games that you're going to be running a base install of, or ones that you're not going to customize (or they're running the customizations you're looking for anyway). If you just want to run a game of LORD or LORD with the MZK addon, then I'd run it from a door server. If you really want certain modules, or a custom menu set, then run it locally. Both Door Party and BBSLink let you add doors individually to your menus, so you can avoid having to add the whole shebang to your board... this also increases the feel that the user isn't leaving your board to play the game, if that's something you're concerned about, aesthetically. I suspect that adding the more recognizable ones individually gets more plays than just adding a gateway to the DoorServer itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BRElover · 2018-03-14 20:05 Not sure about nowadays. But I thought TELEGARD/RENEGADE was the easiest and best to use back in the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2018-03-16 03:04 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2018-03-18 15:27 i really MISS telegard. i enjoyed running it. i dont enjoy running synchronet, i just run it.
