Back to the BBS reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DVinson68 路 2021-04-21 22:59 If y'all haven't been watching this series, you're really missing out. He's been doing a bang up job of explaining the various bits and bobs of our scene. Check him out: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLop3s1hMlSJKXqmuFjK7gbJh2WAyll TTY](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLop3s1hMlSJKXqmuFjK7gbJh2W AyllTTY) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Duckula-MBBS 路 2021-04-22 07:56 Agree! Would have been great to see MajorBBS feature in the Server software episode (but I am biased 馃槀) but other than that I have been enjoying them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DVinson68 路 2021-04-22 13:30 Yeah, there were a lot of packages left out, but then there ARE so many it would have been nearly impossible to get to them all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- itbytesbob 路 2021-04-22 19:49 Getting LGR vibes from his logo.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak 路 2021-04-22 21:08 what does he do that wasnt already done in Jason Scotts documentary The Bbs Documentary? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak 路 2021-04-22 21:11 this is all about nu-skool bbs'ing .. very little to do with the original bbs scene. unfortunate. nary a mention of illegalities which was always my favorite part of the scene. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Duckula-MBBS 路 2021-04-23 08:33 You are right. Once a topic has been covered no one should ever be able to do anything in the same vein. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UncleShiro 路 2021-04-23 13:21 Thanks for the lead on this. I can relate to the point about the new-school emphasis of this documentary, but I don't mind that, because that needs coverage, too. I may be old-school, but I'm not as well-informed about the "BBS- revival-on-Internet" scene as I'd like to be, and any info is welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 路 2021-04-23 17:37 The intent was to talk about new school BBSing. The BBS Documentary talked about old school BBSing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 路 2021-04-23 17:38 Talks about why you'd want to use a BBS in the modern era, plus talking about the modern BBS systems such as Synchronet and Enigma 1/2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak 路 2021-04-23 22:43 Well.. I sort of take my comment back... his documentary is about BBS鈥檌ng - NOW - rather than bbs鈥檌ng back in the day. So I can kinda respect what hes doing. Not really a fan of people doing the bbs thing today that dont have a clue what bbsing was like in the 80鈥檚 though... I suppose anything that supports bbsiing in whatever regard should be recognized though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak 路 2021-04-23 22:46 Yea I know now.. I spoke before I watched it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JohnPolka 路 2021-04-23 23:11 The documentary covers BBSing today, but with a mostly PC focus. There's still some great modern BBS communities that are being glossed over in this documentary. For example, there's thriving modern BBSing going on in the Commodore, Atari, and Apple communities. I'm not faulting this documentary for not covering it. I understand individuals have only so much bandwidth. I am just pointing out that there's an opportunity for one or more individuals to make videos that explore these other communities too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Duckula-MBBS 路 2021-04-24 04:56 Indeed, anything that supports BBSing today is something the community should get behind! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- caress-of-steel 路 2021-05-11 06:23 LGR is a poser. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wndrbr3d 路 2021-07-23 10:39 Oh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Duckula-MBBS 路 2021-07-24 21:50 Nice necro post. 馃槈 I will rephrase: "Indeed, anything --legitimate-- that supports BBSing today is something the community should get behind!" 馃槀
