CyBeRpUnK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dwerva · 2021-10-21 23:43 Roboboard/FX was like any other BBS software. Anyone can run it. And you still can, right now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fang-castro · 2021-10-22 00:23 i remember it... i'll try and DL and play around! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheLimpingNinja · 2021-10-25 16:52 So, probably sad on my part -- I tried a few Roboboard systems and immediately got a bad taste in my mouth back in the day, mainly because each one had very hyper-active Sysops and it constantly felt like I was being monitored. Had nothing to do with the software! I ended up using Roboterm as my main BBS dialer for years just because it was super simple and just what I needed, but never used any other Roboboards. I did use a few Shotgun boards, and some other NAPLPS board --- those were all similar, but RIP ended up being more in use and honestly it was so poorly done in most places I usually just stayed in ANSI. Under The Black Flag BBS as it is running today was actually running in slightly different form back then as well and was one of the only places with GOOD graphics (RIP or ANSI) back then even. A solid board to log-in to even today, the RIP is top notch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EnviableMachine · 2022-12-06 01:38 I was never a fan of RIP. I always kinda felt they RIPPed off a lot of what I invented when I wrote RoboBOARD, looking back they were good competitors and ok programmers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EnviableMachine · 2022-12-06 01:49 Still remember drawing all those icons, lol. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheLimpingNinja · 2023-07-16 14:08 Yeah, I liked the RoboBoards -- but main I hated the Sysops of the two in my area, every time I logged in they would break in to chat to talk about the Door I just played or something other. I know it was benign but it gave me so much anxiety. :D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wide_Actuator_5737 · 2023-07-17 17:12 I want to download the full version of RoboBoard, Where can I find it?? I'll pay too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dwerva · 2023-07-29 11:40 SUPPORT PAGE 73 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ​ If you have any questions, comments or would like to send your registration to me, I can be contacted at: ​ VOICE: 1(819)682-6670 (4pm-11pm MON-FRI) (9am-11pm SAT) Questions are welcome, but voice support is (mostly) for those who have paid. ​ MAIL: Seth Hamilton P.O.

Eventually, I transitioned from my Spitfire BBS to manage RoboBBS as his 3rd and 4th lines. When he handed over the reins to me, we had to scale back to 2 lines due to financial constraints – I was a 14-year-old apprentice in electronics repair with not much of a paycheck at $5 an hour. Running RoboBBS, RoboTerm, and RoboFX, I experienced unparalleled excellence in analog dial-up connections. I am grateful for the unforgettable summers in the early '90s that not only shaped my career in communication and IT but also led to my current home, wife, family, and early retirement. These experiences, alongside the guidance of Jim Schab, molded my lifelong achievements in the industry. Without the skills acquired from running your software and the mentorship of Mr. Schab, I might still be working at Burger King. Thank you for the transformative impact on my life and career.
