Hi, I’m wondering if there are any BBS’s that have an active “Chat”
option? I am hoping to find like minded people on there. :)
reddit / bbs

sdf does. Of course if you want active chat, there is always IRC.

If you’re looking to chat with more than 1-2 people, your best bets
are IRC or Discord. Both have much larger user bases and more
channel/server specific topics.

There is MRC which is active. I just released iChat which is a mystic
irc client. It handles default irc commands, colors, name lists with
away status. It is getting some traction on The Underground and 20cent
for beer. And users can log in through irc on phone.

If you want to give it a go: bbs.opicron.eu, link works on browser,
telnet and ssh.

oP!

Where can I get more info on this iChat Mystic IRC client? It allows
Mystic BBS users to connect to an IRC network?

Diamond Mine Online is part of the MRC chat system.
telnet://bbs.dmine.net:24

Correct. Open bbs.opicron.eu in your browser or bbs telnet client, you
can download it from uploads.

MRC is the way forward..it's chat for BBS users specifically. IRC is
internet relay chat, and whilst you can use IRC from a select few
BBSes, I think it kinda defeats the purpose. You won't be speaking to
BBS folks, you'll be speaking to all the usual folk on the net.
MRC is on available on approx 95 BBSes, including my own, allowing all
of those BBS users to talk together.
My BBS is : bbs.alsgeeklab.com:2323

Not necessarily... iChat is geared towards BBSes but also allows users
to connect to BBS chat thru iRC. iChat is on 2o fOr beeRS, The Forze
and The Underground... also, all three of those BBSes also has MRC -
so best of both worlds!! :P

I also support MRC, but other folks like Opi w/ iChat, and Slackers
BBS with their iRC implementation are all trying to do the same
things... get more people involved in BBSes.


Anyone can come to 2o for an active BBS with 20+ callers a day:

I post in fsxNet, too, which is a good OtherNet people interested in
BBSing should checkout.
