    All links I have found for NetRunner point to the 2.0 Beta 18 executable on the Mystic BBS Web site, but is the source available anywhere?

    Due to some recent bad experiences with code theft, James has stopped making the source for Mystic/NetRunner available, but the binaries are simple and work.

    It's not open-source, so... no.

    There is a Beta-19 available here, which seems to work fine:

    No.
    Mystic & Netrunner are not open source.

    I believe it went closed source when 1.11 was released in 2015. I know that's a a few years ago now, but in the timespan of the BBS world and age of most software it's positively yesterday.

    *shrugs* I don't know what the licence was, but most licences allow changing licence with the agreement of the majority of devs on the project - That's reasonably easy to achieve with one person if that was the case.

    where is it published?
    what i was told by the person who did it is he was taking the code and putting it on his own site and they didnt like that.
    i think that was when he was using shitty sourceforge.

    the real reason is g00r00 doesnt like having his stuff open sourced and doesnt see the benefit of it, even with the obvious example of synchronet's success right under his nose.

    Not long after he posted that message, he threw some kind of hissy fit over fuck knows what, and left.

    they guy that started it is still here so i dont know if he wants to chime in about it. all i think he did was put the source on his website and maybe compile it.

    i'm not sure if someone really stuck their name on mystic bbs.

    we talked about this at length on zeronet and he got really pissed. he really does not like open source, he does not like collaboration. that's his right, though. the truth is he put mystic source out there because people kept suggesting him to. he kind of had it locked down back then, even.

    okay now i see it. guardian bbs / vertigo-bbs. looks like this
    loser just forks stuff and fucks it up and forgets about it.

    and there is the original forker on sourceforge that did guardian bbs.

    both of the forks look unremarkable.

    that other guy[who is a bbs sysop who posts here] who pissed him off with putting the code someplace else was just another reason for him to yank it.

    Thanks for that. I knew I'd read a blog or forum post reasonably recently on things, but couldn't seem to find it.

    I don't know what the whole fsxNet thing was about, and if it was a case of butting heads with Paul(Avon)....geesh, my interactions with Paul have always left me thinking very favourably about him and his ease of interaction.

    That said though, you and I both know that devs can be a little less socially dexterous than might be ideal; that tends to get elevated if you're working with something you consider your life's work.

    While none of us can ever know for sure what his headspace was at, it's not unreasonable to think that there was a combination of catalysts where g00r00 didn't feel there was sufficient contribution, contributors felt unappreciated, a few bad apples got thrown into the mix, and the whole thing turned negative.

    I hope he keeps going though; while Rob and Deuce do amazing work for the community, we do need a few other options to keep going so that not every board ends up a cookie cutter of every other. Heck, I'm working on a bit of a mystic setup right now just for something a bit different for a bit, but I'm still going to keep some synch in the mix.

    what it all boils down to is from day one he did not want to be open sourced and he wanted to find a
    reason to yank it.

    And by then it's too late; the mirroring and forking that he wanted to avoid is already done.

    i'm not sure if someone really stuck their name on mystic bbs.

    If they did, it's a natural consequence of going open source and not something to be surprised by.

    Were I in his shoes, I would *want* other people to rename and take credit for their forks and variants. As long as they're giving as much credit to him as the original license demands, that's fine.

    It's okay if people fork the project and make a mess or never do anything with it. GitHub etc. are rife with good intentions and fizzled efforts. Sometimes there are useful changes that someone else can work from.

    The main thing is that it be made clear who wrote what, so that the original author doesn't receive a bunch of confusing requests to support someone else's junk.

    we talked about this at length on zeronet and he got really pissed. he really does not like open
    source, he does not like collaboration. that's his right, though. the truth is he put mystic source

    Yep. Sucks that he closed it up, but it's his project and his choice. I'm surprised that he caved to pressure to open it up in the first place, given his low tolerance for the consequences. I suppose it was a learning experience.

    I've had kind of the opposite curve, being quite embarrassed of my shitty code early on and defensive because I'd worked hard on it. Took me some time to learn to deal with criticism and disagreements on how things should be done, etc. If you can get past all of that, there's a lot of room for growth and improvement.

    Indeed. "Hissy fit" was maybe an uncharitable choice of words. It just seemed like he bailed on the entire network quite easily, when he could've just bowed out of the thread or whatever. Whatever, nobody needs for their hobby to piss them off, so that's his right.

    That would be a pretty wacky thing to dislike about an FTN, but okay. :)

    Which could disappear at any time if its operator decides to go incommunicado, which has happened before. (I say that with due respect to the guy, he's a friend of mine, but facts is facts.) Kind of a situation where multiple hubs operated by different people would be good.

    That's how I remember the issue, too. I think the FTN issues were
    because there were so many different versions (of Mystic) in use,
    with so many different bugs, that there were communication and
    dupe issues between the hubs. Also something about messages being
    truncated after 256 characters as I recall.

    The bottom line was that the software wasn't performing well, and
    he got tired of hearing the complaints, I guess.

    i have very little programming experience. i only did it when i was out of work because that's only when i had the time to learn it and practice and impliment it.

    but i had to learn how to use baja and some synchronet javascript[once there were examples for me to learn from], and i did have someone take my stuff and then put their name on it. and i admit it did piss me off a bit. but it was timewarrior and everything he did pissed me off.

    i dont see why g00r00 would be mad about these 2 guys taking his bbs and stamping a new name on it and making it into a total shit show in both cases.
    he just wanted a reason to pull it, like i said.

    Agreed... for the most part, I try to think of anything I write as
    something that's destined to be replaced (not always for better though)
    and that in the end, it will all work out. The longest running system I
    ever made was originally throw-away code meant for testing other things, instead it winds up at the core of a fortune 100 company public facing
    effort for well over a decade, and the "enterprise" replacement took
    over 3 years (for a 6-month project) and didn't work much better.

    Yes, and to be fair, some were being absolute dicks about it. One guy in partic
    lar was having a massive overreaction to the problem. So things just heated up >n both sides.

    Agreed. He later had a massive overreation to something I said on another subject. I don't see him around much any more.

    ftn bits that were causing issues. He also did not like that FSXnet was a >DW> network with more than one hub... I got the impression that the ftn issues

    That would be a pretty wacky thing to dislike about an FTN, but okay. :)

    I agree. At least three of the hubs were running mystic but at least one
    was not. That could have been the issue... the mystic bug showed up because the other hub was not mystic? I did not really understand it, either.

    That's how I remember the issue, too. I think the FTN issues were
    because there were so many different versions (of Mystic) in use,
    with so many different bugs, that there were communication and
    dupe issues between the hubs. Also something about messages being
    truncated after 256 characters as I recall.

    I forgot that bit... I think it was also changing messages from other
    systems that flowed through the mystic system and causing things to be truncated and/or MSG IDs to be altered.

    The bottom line was that the software wasn't performing well, and
    he got tired of hearing the complaints, I guess.

    Yes.
