    Girls got chip planted without them knowing it!
    Some may say it kind of obscure conspiracy theory but, did you people ever heard of certain state (for example israel) with help of gay men cult or something stalking and abusing young girls, especially those who ever somehow got someone's attention for being lolita, nymphet, sexually curious or anything?

    I recently heard something like this, group or a cult stalk girls like this in pools, saunas clinics and fit centers and they plant something, possibly a tracking devices, virus capsulas or drugs and most of all chips under their skin?

    Buttocks, palms of hands and feets most of all?

    It leaves roundy red dot or a stripe on a skin people usually pay little to no attention.
    Some models have it too, for example https://www.xerotica.com/video/lovely-ginger-pleasures-her-lover-with-a-blowjob-before-he-slips-his-tool-deep-into-her-muff-51458.html or on a feet of this girl https://www.xerotica.com/video/captivating-dame-looks-fresh-as-she-shows-off-her-perky-tits-wihle-posing-in-the-bathroom-53737.html

    Also they keep stalking and abusing (and possibly killing) girls, who could fit the some criteria:
    1. Who is or was lolita in ANY way.
    2. Rhythmic gymnasts and possibly some other dance and sport practices.
    3. Who's skinny just skinny, no time to check for driving license just plant her on, izhak! She dates pedos anyway.
    4. Who's prominent member of certain pop culture communities (Sailor Moon for example) and
    5. Who's anyhow may be described as follower of anything relatively close can be described as mother-goddess cult or cult of Isis goddes (aka Usha, Venus, Innana and so on...
    Sailor Moon is targeted as somewhat of modern representation of following mythology) if you suspect something or know anything write about it!
    6. Daughters of those from groups above!

    Hi,

    Can it be made the default in new synchronet installs, new users can not post in echomail areas?

    Possible, yes, but:

    1. wouldn't change the configuration hundreds of existing Synchronet installs 2. would open a FAQ for me answer: How come my users can't post on echomail areas?
    3. sysops that unknowingly verify nut-job bulk posting users would end up with the same result

    Bye, Wilfred.


    That's something that sysops should decide. there's no way to know when someone's going to be posting crazy shit. also this guy wasn't overly harmful or damaging to the network.

    it's up to the sysop to police their own bbs. you can't do it all for them.

    That's true for a lot of settings...

    Then it's their own created problem! But it's doubtfull these nut-jobs revist, if they can't do their thing right away, they probably focus their attention on other easier targets...

    Of course! I'm not asking to remove their choice, only to change the default setting for it in new installations.

    there's no way to know when someone's going to be posting crazy shit.

    Indeed, so it's better to restrict what they can do until they are "verified" or upgraded in level by the sysop.

    also this guy wasn't overly harmful or damaging to the network.

    There have been multiple posts in different echomail areas, by "different" users, from different systems, for weeks now, all with the same content. I find it annoying.

    it's up to the sysop to police their own bbs. you can't do it all for them.

    Of course. And as I said above, I'm not asking to limit the sysops options, just change a default setting in new installations. It's probably an easy change, and can prevent new inexperienced sysops, from having their systems abused by these kind of spammers (or bots).

    when I come up on that message, just like any other spam on my system, I push one button to delete it.. not too annoying.. yea, its better to not be there at all. but to see all the future "why cant my users post in message groups" messages would probably annoy many people.

    Are the average new Synchronet sysops that stupid, they don't check their settings before asking such questions?

    And can't you have different default settings for verified/approved users?

    No I dont think we are that stupid. I will admit I had a spam user get access to my fidonet areas. I have since locked it all down. Maybe in your infinite wisdom, you could recommend a way to validate users so they can have access to Fidonet Message bases??

    It was a rhetorical question. ;-)

    The time between creating an account and getting approved to post in echomail areas, is probably already enough to deter most spammers/bots.

    And they are probably not going to fill in real verifiable info, so they would be easy to spot. And it's not worth to go to all the effort for them to get approved, for such a limited audience. It's a (big) numbers game for them...

    no, that would not be the "Average" Synchronet Sysop.. ad there is a big difference between ignorance and stupidity.

    Synchronet is and always has been actively devolped and attracts many more people then these dead bbs softwares out here.. Notice, I said PEOPLE, and not Sysops. there are actually people who download Synchronet for more than just ECHOMAIL, these people are not all necessarily sysops from the 80's and 90's and some of them may not even know what the crap echomail is much less how to keep one guy who is posting about rfid chipped girls out of it.

    it takes time and patience for this stuff to happen. you have to outweight the benefits with the risks of doing something like that..

    and please.. don't call someone stupid for being ignorant on a subject. there is a big difference and it really kind of shows what type of person you are for not wanting to see that difference if thats the case.

    take care.

    Possible, yes, but:

    1. wouldn't change the configuration hundreds of existing Synchronet installs

    That's not an argument to make improvements in new versions!

    I am not really sure that the default is what you think it is anyway.

    When you install Synchronet, IIRC, only Dovenet comes preinstalled with defaults. It is up to the sysop to add those FTN echoes and, if they set them to where the default new user level has access, they get access.

    I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their
    own systems.

    There are many things that could be overlooked by new sysops. It's just one of those things that's good to learn when setting up and running a BBS. I think a reason for it not being on by default is that a BBS initially doesn't have networked messagebases set up by default, and since you basically have to set those up manually (opting in), enabling message validation probably doesn't need to be enabled until the sysop adds networked message areas and wants message validation.

    what you consider abusive might not be what other people consider abusive.
    I've seen worse.

    that's why it's good that YOU can filter such messages on your bbs.

    also that msg you are quoting is from a long time ago, right.


    having people blocked by default from posting is something that should be a sysop decision, not a default bbs setting.

    Whatever the default is, it is still the sysops decision, how he sets this setting.


    well i'm going to have to say that i am against your idea. I don't believe in overthinking everything for people who download this software.

    I understand why you dont like it. I don't like these people who posted either. but you know what i did? I filtered them and i don't see it anymore.

    well one way you could do it is use the ARS system to allow them to post after X amount of calls. that would probably prevent bots from posting.
    that wont stop a regular joe like me who argues with people from posting eventually.

    The time between creating an account and getting approved to post in echomail areas, is probably already enough to deter most spammers/bots.

    And they are probably not going to fill in real verifiable info, so they would be easy to spot. And it's not worth to go to all the effort for them to get approved, for such a limited audience. It's a (big) numbers game for them...



    nobody in their right mind nowadays should fill in real verifiable information. and bots dont think. they just do. and they do it a lot.

    do you not know how to twitfilter?

    Hi Dumas,

    On 2024-05-16 08:47:00, you wrote to me:

    When you install Synchronet, IIRC, only Dovenet comes preinstalled
    with defaults. It is up to the sysop to add those FTN echoes and, if they set them to where the default new user level has access, they get access.

    I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their own systems.

    I don't know either, I was just asking if it would be possible...


    anything's possible. they could also rip out all the functions that allow synchronet to accept calls, msgs, etc and really make it secure.

    or people can just use a twitfilter.
    our bbs forefathers were smarter than you think.

    Really, all it boils down to is the Sysops AND the EC, Moderators, or whatever title the person who provides the mail to the sysops not running the networks correctly..

    1. If the EC, Moderato, or whatever title of the day detects a message they do not see fit, they need to delete it before it goes further downsteam and notify the offending systems sysop so it can be remedied.

    2. This EC, Moderator, title of the day, or whatever they call themselves need
    to login and check on their message bases more than once a week, should
    really be daily.. some of these people you cannot even get ahold of..
    if they cannot do this, something needs to be remedied to replace them.
    if that is'nt an option, then the network should be considered obsolete.

    3. The ^^ above mentioned person needs to arrange that every Sysop check in once weekly in the Sysop area so that everyone can keep on point, If they
    miss a check-in and/or a couple follow up messages they should be put on
    hold until they pay attention..

    Heck.. thats really about it.. It's not a "Dumb" sysop issue, It's a "Lazy" sysop issue. and the main issues is with some of the upstream hubs, etc who do not correctly maintain their message networks. whether it be an FTN, QWK, etc.

    A simple structure should be laid out by that EC, and explained to every Sysop that gets a feed from that EC.

    goes further downsteam and notify the offending systems sysop

    When messages arrive at a hub, they are sent out to that hub's downlinks
    in a matter of seconds. Yes, seconds. There is ZERO chance that the NC
    (the correct "title") is going to catch/stop an offending message.
    ZERO. They come in, and immediately go back out to downlinks. Even if
    the RC/NC was sitting at the computer with his hands on the keyboard,
    they could not stop the message from going downstream.

    2. This EC, Moderator, title of the day, or whatever they call
    themselves need

    if that is'nt an option, then the network should be considered obsolete.

    LOL ... While some of the above is certainly true, "checking on their
    message bases" would have nothing to do with catching/stopping an
    offensive message. It can't be done.

    3. The ^^ above mentioned person needs to arrange that every

    can keep on point, If they

    Even bigger LOL! That's not gonna happen. Unfortunately, there are
    indeed quite a few sysops/systems that are on "autopilot", and that is
    very difficult to resolve. Probably not possible any more.

    Heck.. thats really about it.. It's not a "Dumb" sysop issue,
    It's a "Lazy" sysop issue. and the main issues is with some of
    the upstream hubs, etc who do not correctly maintain their
    message networks. whether it be an FTN, QWK, etc.

    See my first sentence above about not understanding how message
    distribution works. You're not even close.

    A simple structure should be laid out by that EC, and explained
    to every Sysop that gets a feed from that EC.

    Easy to say; impossible to put into actual practice.

    Are they spammers bots or real people? i thought they were real people. having people blocked by default from posting is something that should be a sysop decision, not a default bbs setting.

    I think this is a real person. Early on, Pengo was responding back to
    replies. Their real name (at least what they use at logon) is Lesley.

    Their IP address block is 95.24.14.0/24 which resolves to corbina.ru.
    After they logged on here and found they could only post their drivel on a local area, they've not been back. Since I blocked the above IPA range,
    that could also be why.

    The latest messages I saw were from a board that joined after a lot of this info was shared here by another sysop, so they were probably not aware of
    the "Pengo" problem.

    While they have hit synchronet systems a lot, they've also hit other boards which also makes me think it is not a bot (or it is very sophisticated).

    No I dont think we are that stupid. I will admit I had a spam user get access to my fidonet areas. I have since locked it all down. Maybe in your infinite wisdom, you could recommend a way to validate users so they can have access to
    Fidonet Message bases??

    Back in time, I had a couple of users log on, act normal enough to get
    access and then start spamming. "Pengo" logged on here as a regular user
    and, had they not used the "Pengo" alias, I might not have caught on until after they started spamming.

    Luckily, new users only have access to a few bases and, since they used the "Pengo" alias, they are in the twitlist so no posts they might have been
    able to make could go out through sbbsecho.

    You don't have a good understanding of how modern echomail distribution happens.

    ok, Maybe not FTN.. but truly.. FTN isn't "Modern".. it was never meant to be intantanious. as far as I know. except for netmail. and that was in a best case scenario "back in the day"

    When messages arrive at a hub, they are sent out to that hub's downlinks in a matter of seconds. Yes, seconds. There is ZERO chance that the NC (the correct "title") is going to catch/stop an offending message. ZERO. They come in, and immediately go back out to downlinks. Even if the RC/NC was sitting at the computer with his hands on the keyboard, they could not stop the message from going downstream.

    Ok, so your saying you have both you FTN and QWK networks set to CRASH anytime something comes in? really does'nt seem like something you would want to do with echomail.. maybe NETMAIL, but not echomail.. Now I have been out of the BBS world since about 2016 or so, so if there is another method besides FTN, and QWK. then yeah.. I have no idea.. but for qwk networks, especially with the traffic we get anymore, I'm not polling anymore than 4 times daily.. and truthfully, I don't believe I will ever setup another ftn network, lol I've been waiting close to two months to hear back from someone on a qwk hub for a network that I have now even forgot the name of because I've been waiting so long. I don't really know about not having a good understanding of the techonology I pretty much know how it works, even in todays "modern" world.
    just my opinion, and we all know about opinions, modern echomail does'nt warrant instantanias transport. crash your hub 15 times a day for 15 messages.. lol. If a sysop is'nt doing that, they may every now and then catch a mistake, or spam or something before it goes down stream.


    It was just an idea. it's not perfect.. nothing perfect. the best that can happen really is just twitlisting..

    LOL ... While some of the above is certainly true, "checking on their message bases" would have nothing to do with catching/stopping an offensive message. It can't be done.

    Ok.. if you say so..

    And who is to determine what is fit? Putting that duty on the mail
    movers seems ripe for abuse. Our job is to move the mail, not censor
    it.

    There's two solutions I see - accept occasional SPAM as the price of
    running a network, or require every sysop to validate each user before
    allowing write access to the echoes.

    One fits into the dual rules of Fidonet - don't be excessively
    annoying, and don't be excessively annoyed. The other is untenable.

    There's a YouTube channel called VWLife, they just had a convoy of old VW busses crossing the southwest and going to Mexico, I think - hardy vehicles, those old buses. Seems like they used the channel to make a virtual club that can still get together and party...

    Old buses get around 20 miles a gallon and have a 10 gallon tank, so you're stopping a lot. Just like the old cars I grew up in, on the trip they encountered finicky carbs, dirty fuel filters that starve the engine, bad spark plugs - even replacing an alternator along the way. Bonus points for him having a spare alternator...

    We could change the default settings for new users to include the 'N' restriction, which would (by defualt, in new SBBS installs) prevent new users from posting messages on networks.

    No, I didn't say that, nor anything even remotely alluding to that. What
    I was referring to was that I, as a FidoNet NC, have (most) of my
    downlinks set to "crash", and some of them set to "hold". That choice is
    made by the downlink sysop, not me. So, as echomail comes to me from the
    RC, it is immediately sent back out to most of my downlinks, and held for
    some downlinks to poll and get that way. My point was that, even for the "hold" systems, it would take quite rapid (and painfully awkward) actions
    by me to "filter" out something that I thought was offensive, and would require me to be sitting there watching for it 24x7. Obviously not gonna happen. Another consideration here is that who am I do decide whether somebody else would find something offensive? That's not my job. As for
    QWK, I do not distribute that to any downlinks, I just get my DoveNet feed from VERT, by polling that system once an hour.

    really does'nt seem like
    something you would want to do with echomail.. maybe NETMAIL, but
    not echomail..

    I certainly would like it do be done with echomail. By crashing back and forth upstream/downstream, echomail conversations that "back in the day"
    took a couple of days for each message exchange can now be done in
    minutes, and even approach real-time conversations. Why not do that if
    the modern technology allows it?

    Now I have been out of the BBS world since about
    2016 or so, so if there is another method besides FTN, and QWK.
    then yeah.. I have no idea.. but for qwk networks, especially
    with the traffic we get anymore, I'm not polling anymore than 4
    times daily..

    I poll VERT hourly, and I can assure you that some systems poll him more frequently than that. Most of my Fido downlinks poll here hourly.
    Again... why not? It takes 2 seconds and costs nothing.

    and truthfully, I don't believe I will ever setup
    another ftn network, lol I've been waiting close to two months to
    hear back from someone on a qwk hub for a network that I have now
    even forgot the name of because I've been waiting so long. I
    don't really know about not having a good understanding of the
    techonology I pretty much know how it works, even in todays
    "modern" world.

    Well that's your choice to not participate in FTNs, not sure why you would think that way, but OK. For me personally, it's the main reason I run a
    BBS and participate in BBSing these days. I check and read messages from
    my board several times a day.

    just my opinion, and we all know about opinions,
    modern echomail does'nt warrant instantanias transport. crash
    your hub 15 times a day for 15 messages.. lol. If a sysop is'nt
    doing that, they may every now and then catch a mistake, or spam
    or something before it goes down stream.

    Again, it's usually more than 15 times a day, and more messages than that
    per day. It simply is not realistic to think that a sysop (RC/NC
    actually) is going to catch something before it goes onward. Just can't happen that way. Also again, the "ethical" question of censorship plays a part in this.

    It was just an idea. it's not perfect.. nothing perfect. the best
    that can happen really is just twitlisting..

    That helps, until the spammer morphs to a new name. The hard reality is
    that just like in email, there will occasionally be some spam that gets through. Realistically there is no way to stop it all. Idealistically doesn't count for anything here.

    LOL ... While some of the above is certainly true, "checking on their message bases" would have nothing to do with catching/stopping an offensive message. It can't be done.

    Ok.. if you say so..

    I do say so, and I know I am correct. Any other RC/NC will agree with me.

    at pizza hut buffet.. just like we did in the 90's. it was a great time.

    that sort of thing is still cool imo. some of the ham radio clubs still do the bi-weekly (or whatever) breakfast type of thing.. and i see posts about vintage computer meetups in Cali on.. fidonet i think it was.

    Yes, our ham radio club (DARC - W4DRC) has breakfast, lunch and "midnight snacks" from time to time where we get together, eat and talk ham :-)

    closest thing i got was a local volkswagen enthusiast club .. was a web forum with a pretty large community. we'd go on cruises out to the beach or the local raceway or whatever.. have bonfires.. good times. i guess a combo of facebook and a disconnect from the desktop pc killed that off. ah well.

    I quit too quickly :-) Yeah, it seems now with so much social interconnectivity on the net, we have lost real connectivity. I've seen so many people just draw away from people, almost as if they're afraid to even talk to people IRL any more. with some folks I kind of understand why one would want to distance themselves. but yea.. we are growing further apart socially.

    There's a YouTube channel called VWLife, they just had a convoy of old VW busses crossing the southwest and going to Mexico, I think - hardy vehicles, those old buses. Seems like they used the channel to make a virtual club that can still get together and party...

    Old buses get around 20 miles a gallon and have a 10 gallon tank, so you're stopping a lot. Just like the old cars I grew up in, on the trip they encountered finicky carbs, dirty fuel filters that starve the engine, bad spark plugs - even replacing an alternator along the way. Bonus points for him having a spare alternator...

    My first 2 vehicles were VW Buses (1969 and 1970) and I can tell they are slow, dangerous hunks of junk. But 20 MPG? It think they did better than that (and I had dual carbs on each).

    Correct. Message distribution systems are way too fast for the simplistic approach he uses.

    Reality, msg arrives to 1:275/1000. It may be already overseas to Terri Roati, 2 other USA sites and Vince in the UK in far less than a minute, if echomail. Some of them may have it in distrubution before I can see it myself.

    Yeah, stock was 1600cc. I had an 1835cc in one and then replaced that with a (faster) 1776cc motor. These were overly expensive, still slow, and dangerous (couldn't stop worth a damn, leaked smoke into the heater vents). Just bad vehicles.

    What makes you think they wouldn't look at this setting and toggle it off. Perhaps their feeds should talk to them when they join up and warn them to police their systems.

    And like i said, with synchronet you could use the ARS system to not allow the posts until x amount of calls.

    it's something a sysop can do on their system. synchronet doesnt disable its functions by default. i agree with that.

    I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their own systems.

    We could change the default settings for new users to include the 'N' restriction, which would (by defualt, in new SBBS installs) prevent new users from posting messages on networks.

    That sounds harmless enough.

    If you have him added to your twitlist, then you are like me and not seeing it.

    The OP doesn't run synchronet, I don't think, so they probably don't have Pengo/etc. in their twitlist (and maybe don't have one).


    He should just tell his hub to filter this shit out.
    asking a specific bbs software to add a super restrictive feature that prevents people from outright posting is just stupid. furthermore the guy said they were using other non synchronet bbses to post.

    Filtering is not hard and you can get creative.

    I am not real sure what DM can do to force sysops not to do that on their own systems.

    We could change the default settings for new users to include the 'N' restriction, which would (by defualt, in new SBBS installs) prevent new users from posting messages on networks.

    That sounds harmless enough.

    I'm against it. It would just be another barrier and we have so few users as it is. Furthermore, if you make such a wide change, they will just figure another way around it.

    I noticed on vert's fidonet echos these posts aren't
    showing up. so either DM filtered properly or manually deleted the posts.

    You also notice on fidonet morons are replying to the posts when the original sender might be filtered on other systems. some are saying 'ignore this'.
    That just adds to noise.

    I would ignore the dude or just create filters. Dovenet had a guy like this and they quashed him.

    Those were the first ones in May. But there were a lot more in March and

    They should just filter on their systems and the person will get bored and go away. In all my years i never saw a person ask for a bbs software to be changed in his manner just because of one person. I think these fidonet guys are just

    The WORD at the end of this line was cut off, that's usually not user error.

    I Did upgrade. You've been TOLD that.

    Recent versions of SlyEdit (if that's what you're still using), as well as Deuce's FSEditor both add a NOTE kludge that gives version information and possibly even the release date. You don't seem to have that kludge in your messages. *shrug*

    Either way, you could take a look at SlyEdit.cfg and check this setting:

    ; If the reWrapQuoteLines option is set to true, quote lines will be re-wrapped ; so that they are complete but still look good when quoted. If this option is ; disabled, then quote lines will simply be trimmed to fit into the message. reWrapQuoteLines=true

    If it's currently set to false, that's why you're trimming the end of the lines (in case you want to correct that). If you don't have that option in the default config file, you haven't upgraded in quite some time.

    Center of Awareness (CoA) was a BBS network that offered instaneous chat

    if it was so great why isn't it still around.

    Mainly due to difference of opinion about how it should work. I wanted to do it right, others wanted to half-ass it. I cared about privacy and security, others didn't. It was a project that I started with friends and didn't want to continue without consensus, so I gave up.

    The core idea was sound - networked messages, chat, games, a few other things, with almost no configuration required - and it would still be here today if I wanted it to be. There was no shortage of interest from sysops.

    Mainly due to difference of opinion about how it should work. I wanted to do it right, others wanted to half-ass it. I cared about privacy and security, others didn't. It was a project that I started with friends and didn't want to continue without consensus, so I gave up.

    The core idea was sound - networked messages, chat, games, a few other things, with almost no configuration required - and it would still be here today if I wanted it to be. There was no shortage of interest from sysops.

    echicken


    I've never seen any kind of partnership in the bbs world work out. Also if you do something in this "bbs scene" environment where there's almost no configuration, it attracts a bunch of people that don't contribute and aren't good for anything.

    In BBSing where you're dealing with other sysops it's better to do things on your own, because you know what to expect and you don't need to depend on people. People mean well but they don't have the heart in most cases.

    I had tons of people approach me when i was running the bbses.info's services and wanted to partner up. None of those guys stuck around long even though sometimes what they ran was pretty decent.

    But yeah, of course sysops nowadays would want something they can hook up to and do nothing to setup or maintain. That's why there's so many default synchronet and mystic bbses. What you get in the end isn't something decent.

    These are the names that were used for posting these spam messages in the last two months:

    Lesley
    Lesley Thompson
    Meriadoc Doc
    Pengo
    Pere Pasco
    meriadoc doc
    peregrine apascou



    Holy shit you've guys let this go on for 2 months?

    Turn your frown upside down. grow some balls. Asking a specific bbs software
    to change a feature to prevent users from posting is stupid.

    This is a big simplyfication of what I asked! All I asked was that the

    That's because it's a SIMPLE problem that you are approaching in a more difficult, wrong way.

    All I asked was that the
    default for posting to echomail areas for unverified new users is changed. Not local areas, not for every user! This is not helping the discussion...

    That's stupid. if the sysop is going to setup an echomail area it's their decision to setup things. What do you call verified? can i verify you? can you verify me? what is that even in today's age?

    You guys have all the power to block posts not only by name but my
    text strings or anything you can think of.

    "You guys" ?


    By you guys i mean you idiots.

    We've dealt with someone much worse than this guy using different methods than what you are attempting.

    Fidonet has a long history of obnoxious users/sysops too. They were always allowed to freely express there opinions and worse, and still are.

    That's good. enjoy your spam. stop demanding other people do your job for you.

    being obnoxious is different than a person posting under multiple names causing abuse to the entire system.

    If someone is abusing the system then all's fair in love and war. Time to block at the hub or individual system.

    Never heard that saying, but looks like you bastardized it.

    I don't think you would accept advice or criticism from anybody, considering how badly your bbs runs.

    MULTIPLE TIMES over at least a decade, when your issues have been pointed out you never bothered fixing them. I also don't believe most of your stories and reminiscing. Over the years you just come off as a typical old liberal hipster who likes pine nuts on his muffins.

If I hadn't been into BBSing in the mid 90s & had other wom helping me feel welcome back then, there's probably no way I'd be here no

    No one should be in a majority, you want to take one majority and replace i
    I like Robs approach, when we ask noob questions he points us to the wiki p to encourage us to look for and find the answers to our problems.


    Sometimes the author gives bad pointers back. I asked once for help finding the right area on the wiki for something very specific, listing all the pages I had tried, and what part I was missing.

    Link came bach with the root page of the wiki (obviously useless). I never asked again. No, I never found it either.

    The person I assume you're referring to is race and gender-agnostic.
    He's the same obnoxious, obscene troll regardless of gender, identity,
    ethnicity or choice of computer platform.

    are you talking about me?
    You're just mad because i talked about how your bbs was a horrible feed.
    poor lux was getting msgs 1 per week if he was lucky.

    what was the question about?
    the synchronet docs are actually pretty decent. All other bbs softwares have horrible documentation.

    even the old docs are useful.

    One bad experience dosen't mean nobody will help out.
    If I know an answer I try to help.
    If I don't know I leave it to those that do know to answer.

    I've used the RobBot - post a question on DOVEnet and I'd get a
    response from Rob with the URL to the answer, usually the first
    response to my question.

    The wiki is amazingly helpful.

    If you're just doing echomail and zone 1 netmail, you only need 2
    entries for your uplink and one for everyone else (e.g. 1:ALL).


    Question, will the doing away with zonegates affect any internal issues
    there with the statements? This is happening the next week or so and has
    in some zones already.

    Nope.
