Hi All,

The Major BBS project is looking for experienced C/C++ developers to
help us on our journey to give MBBS a new lease on life. We are a
small community that relies on generous people donating their time to
help keep the project alive.

If you are an experienced developer who likes to work for nothing
other than appreciation then this is the job for you! 😂

You can read about us at www.themajorbbs.com or visit our forums at
www.themajorbbs.com/forums

If you would like to help, please DM me.

Thanks!


-- Duckula

God I would love to help, but I don't know C, and I don't think Python
will cut it for this job! Plus I still have high school to finish...
Good luck you guys!

If only there were a way to suddenly have hundreds of eyes on the
code, perhaps even making contributions that could be peer reviewed…

I'm not a developer, but I'll use it once you get it up and running!

Your reply is as useless as your emulator

Thanks, appreciate.it!

You can already! The beta version is available for download from the
files section of the website.

I apologize for my previous response, it was unnecessary, however I
was frustrated by the predictable reply you gave.

Addressing your reply directly, I am not sure hosting it on GitHub is
the cure as you / Eric have suggested on many occasions.

Looking at the emulation project GitHub repository it shows only 3
significant contributors in approx 16 months. Excluding yourself and
Eric, there is only one other contributor.

To me this does not represent a significant community involvement and
as such I don't expect that putting the source on GitHub will suddenly
bring in a mass of developers.

I made the post in an attempt to attract people that already have an
interest in the BBS scene.

Your response was sarcastic and belittling which did nothing to assist
but if it helped you feel better then more power to you.

I'm tempted to contribute myself.

However I cannot support a closed source project.
