I have been browsing boards, to find heavily modified boards. What are some of
the most decked out modded boards around? Are there any that do not even resemble the software they are using? (like major bbs, synchronet, mystic, you
get the ideah lol)

I totally get this. I am currently trying to restart my system, and as
such am trying to bring back and update the modules for my particular
BBS package that I wrote to get them up to date with current release of
the software.
not even resemble the software they are using? (like major bbs, synchronet, mystic, you get the ideah lol)
I've tripped across a couple lately that make me amazed with the amount of work put in to them:

I would love to check it out, when it's ready. Let me know when it's done or ifyou need someone to test things out. I'll stop in and give it a go.
Take care!

Tjhanks. Right now, I'm putting my qwk networking mod (started in
2014), which is basically a WINS version of the QWK by FTP script that ships with Synchronet.

Is there by chance a way to disable putting all of your message headers int
Just so you know... I've quoted your entire message above. Every
message you post includes all that "header" garbage in it, at the beginning of each message, which should not be happening.

There is one you can get to from BCR game server but cannot remember
the name of it.
...Take my advice. I don't use it anyway.

yes, if i don't use NNTP to read and post. That's all. I will bring
this idea up with Santronics development.

That's odd. I figured maybe it would be an improper toggle in Thunderbird,o
a lot of those 'modded' boards have the plague of annoying long
ansi screens. i hate it when it takes 3+ mins to just get to the
main menu. it's k-rad lameness.

That's odd. I figured maybe it would be an improper toggle in
Thunderbird, or something. Not sure why Wildcat would use somewhat
normal headers /and/ force them to the message body, too. *shrug*

Not everyone can (or want to) cater to only /your/ needs. But it's
good to know you enjoy finding negativity in everything!

Same.
posted by nntp or not. I brought this up in the winserver mailing
list. Now to see if Hector is going to reply in a condescending
manner to me again
Well they're not really _my_ needs and i've heard people complain about
it too. I don't know why a sysop thinks going through 10 scrolling ansis is enjoyable for their users. it becomes a parody after a while.
I think bbs's mean different things to different people.
Some people like them for the games.
Some people like myself like them for message bases.
Others like them because of a small user base.

while i certainly don't have 10 scrollers, i added the flag to your
account on my bbs to skip the stuff that is there. and made your
account permanent. for when you maybe call a couple years from now
again hehe
i wont say what the guys name is. he's a great guy. he's a cool guy. his bbs is great. but god damn it takes forever to just get through all the bullshit.
and then shitty mystic dropped me. and i'm trying to get back on to email the guy and mystic thought i was on the node for 45 freaking minutes!
There are other menu systems available for Synchronet 2.x that'll work with a little bit of tweaking. I took the Renegade-like menus, added some color to them, and added an ansi header. You don't have to go too far down to see stock Synchronet, though.
I see a lot of ANSIs out there, would love to see some menu mods that change how the BBSes function.

Since he seems to be directing some of this towards me: I have 3
total "scrollers", a prelogin before the matrix, a welcome
fast that they have to scroll back to see it, than say anything
negative about it. By all means, don't like it? Don't call. Easy
enough.
I was not even THINKING of your bbs.
certainly a lot of your buddies are guilty of the annoying scrollers
that get old after seeing them 2x.

Odd, since you asked me directly if I got rid of those scrollers
yet.

Good thing nobody is trying to cater to you.

Yeah, and I like them for the tacos. Not sure why you're sayin' that stuff, though, or what you're replying to specifically.
