    What's the point in combining them when you could just use them back to back? Really keen on saving those six characters?

    You talk about being offended by swear words, and then call someone a "nimrod". Although that isn't exactly a swear word, it seems you aren't following your own advice. You complain about people behaving badly, and then you make childish replies like that.

    It might be useful to have a version of an @-code that can use a set-sized space for 2 things, rather than using 2 separate @-codes and allocating half of a space for each one.

    That's a fair point, but I still think it'd be a nearly useless
    addition. No harm in it though.

    I dunno, the answer to that seems kinda obvious
    in some sense. Pairing dates and times is something
    one might often want to do; pairing dates and times
    of last logins seems rather more niche. If one of
    the design principles behind Synchronet is "optimize
    for the common case" then it makes sense that
    @DATETIME@ would exist as a common operation, but
    @LASTDATETIME@ or whatever wouldn't.

    10 to 1 says that wasn't "some guy" but instead a bot... especially if they didn't do anything once they logged in...

    how'd they find your system? they scan IP addresses for open telnet and other ports for devices they might be able to add to their botnets...

    Re-read my message. I didn't say I wanted to "come on" your BBS. I'm just trying to engage in a BBS-related conversation with you. Months ago you were talking about buying something to run your system on, and I was wondering what you went with, that's all.

    It’s best that I just read all of your messages and everyone is happy then. Everytime I say something on here I just get persecuted for it in the end anyways and if you want evidence, I got lots of messages to recite back if needed. My car is running on petrol fumes now.

    It's best that I just read all of your messages and everyone is happy then.

    Yes, you should read the messages that you reply to. Your response didn't answer any of
    the questions I asked, and replied to things that I didn't say. It's rude and confusing.

    People aren't giving you a hard time for no reason. It's because you're petulant and
    difficult to communicate with.

    Everytime I say something on here I just get persecuted for it in the end anyways and if you want evidence, I got lots of messages to recite back if

    It's not every time. You just act as though it is. I was trying to get the conversation back on topic, and look where we ended up.

    Why?

    Why waste your time and energy when you wouldn't even get on the

    You'd let me on, in order to grow the fledgling network.

    You hate me then you want to be on my bbs?

    I certainly don't hate you, and yes, I would like to be on your

    The Millionaire quoted a full message that was gated in from usenet written by "Anonymous". I'm guessing he addressed it to Digital Man with no context to try and get him to do something about it, because it huwt his fwagile wittle feewings.

    I had my Bbs running earlier today and some guy logged on as guest and the IP
    address was from Saigon. I never even advertised it because it was still under construction at the time. Weird.

    You had your BBS running earlier today? Cool. When will it be
    available to the public? I'd like to log in and check it out.

    Did you get the MSP, or are you running it on something else?

    Let us know the BBS address!!!

    I'm running it privately so therefore no Bbs address advertised.

    Something doesn't make sense there. Either you were running a bbs and someone connected to it as guest or, running your bbs on a private network and has no public ip to connect to, can't be both.

    I think he meant that he hasn't advertised it in a

    login to anything resembling an interactive system

    Let's hope DM doesn't realize you're quoting a message and thinks this is directed at him.

    oh, in other news, I looked at the original message and I know who Anonymous
    was here, but I'm going to find it much more hilarious to watch you flail around and accuse everyone.

    You entertain me.

    Something doesn't make sense there. Either you were running a bbs
    and someone connected to it as guest or, running your bbs on a
    private network and has no public ip to connect to, can't be both.

    I think he meant that he hasn't advertised it in a
    meaningful way. However, port scanners that target
    run continuously will just automatically try to
    login to anything resembling an interactive system
    as a bunch of different users such as "guest", "root",
    "admin", etc. He probably saw that....

    It's just part of the background noise of the Internet
    at this point.

    Ohh, I know what it is. We all get it I'm sure, I add ip's to the firewall temporarily, some permenant all the time. His two posts just didn't make sense.

    He had it running open to the world but he did not atdvertise it yet.
    He was hit by a bot, I still get bots ocassionally on my BBS.
    Not a big deal as they can't get passed the login.

    They like to hammer any ip. You will need to block host names and ip
    addresses of the frequent ones who do so.

    Last I remember, I thought you said you weren't able to buy a new system until your iPad died? What kind of BBS setup do you have? Are you setting up a BBS on your iPad?

    I'm sill curious about what kind of system you got to run your BBS on?
