Hello folks,
I am currently planning on launching my own bbs and I'm moving more and more toward Mystic. The environment will be on either a raspberry PI or
a retired corporate workstation. Looking to see which solution will be least expensive.
I have recently returned to the BBS world after a number of year
absence. The board I currently call home is Digital Distortion BBS and I was delighted to see it still up and running a few weeks back.
In the 90s, I was co-sysop for two bbs's in my local area. I had built a strong friendship with the sysops throughout that decade from using
their boards, donating money toward expenses and attending SAMUPT (Sacramento Area Modem Users Party Thingy) gatherings. It was usually a nerdy collective of all stripes at a park designated by the sysop organizing the party. My last party had seven sysops and about thirty users.
Both boards I assisted were utilizing Tribbs.
Anyhoo, I've been reverting my habits back to sane levels and bbs'ing seems to fit my lifestyle just dandy.
I still live in the Sacramento region and still maintain contact with a few old sysop friends. One of them eagerly awaits initial install so he can assist launching the board. There are many details to work out including theme and art
It's going to be enjoyable.
