Setting up a real pouet.net BBS
category: general [glöplog]
random crap? i hope you aren't referring to me?
bitfellas.org is a scene-bbs, right? so what's the use of another one?

Because there is no ANSI gfx here ofcourse!

Why would we want (wow, four w-words in a row) to use old an inferior BBS-technology, when the current generation is SO much better?

If one's to be very strict and oldschool:
Current "Pouet BBS" message system is not a BBS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system)
It's a messageboard or Bulletin Board, not a whole system for various applications like this unless you count the entire pouet. But since Pouet BBS != Pouet I take it that so is not the case.
Also nowadays it could be considered an internet FORUM: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Forum
however if one would setup a telnet BBS with mySQL backend to list prods, vote etc it would be a BBS
which in my opinion would be very cool, because that's where it all began - a nice homage to the oldschool, access the demoscene in the way it was first communicated while 'online'...

BBS's being called boards and this bulleting board being called a BBS is sometimes annoying when searching for stuff on pouet.

it looks like a mishmash of various more or less finished sites/initiatives with a majority of c64/amiga dinosaurs in it's audience

good question... i probably would be using it just as often as my bitfellas account :P
i have this brilliant idea.. let's set up some real pouet.net SMOKE SIGNALING!! Every 1,000th member can buy a luxuous outline lighter for only 2,50 euros! oin't it brill?
CW (or better RTTY) would be more long distance though :)
Well after some hardware glitches UZi SUiCiDE BBS is back and better than ever. I completed the INT2 hack on my 3000T motherboard and am now running a 68 Gig Segate off the CyberstormPPC scsi bus. All backups from 88-97 should be back online by tomorrow. uzisuicide.servebbs.org
