My BBS (The ROCK BBS III - 21:4/156) has been down for sometime (after Black Panther shutdown). Of course, you tried to contact me but I
missed it.

You don't check your BBS, or your email, for MONTHS at a time?
Very difficult to understand that.

Well, (as life sometimes is) its more complicated than that. Not that
I owe you an explanation but the board pretty much runs itsself except when a feed goes down or hardware fails (which i do monitor). Four
other message platforms are humming along happily. It just 'works'...
Avon logged into my system to notify me of the fsx disconnect when Dan dropped out but I did not see that message nor any messages from Dan
that he would be going down (though I was told that he sent them they
were purged from my system). Yeah, I didnt check messages for some
time.
I understand that it may be difficult for some to comprehend but my 'problems' were an overwhelming 16 month project at work combined with personal issues at home which kept me away from the board. Perhaps you don't understand that but work and family are far more important to me than my personal hobby. I'm not going into why I do this but lets just say that boards like Rusty and Edies are long gone. Most do this for
the nostalgia, not the dollars it brings in.
I'm back and ready to re-connect. I've implemented some updates which
will notify me of activities on the board through personal email
(thanks GodFather). Ive got a list of updates and changes I want to
make and (now) I have the time to devote. If fsxnet does not want me
I'll just see my way out.
Hope this helps you to understand...
is the care and feeding of the board, as I see it, and if one isn't
going to do that, why run a board at all? But anyway, good luck!
Not that Stizzed owes us an explanation, but the previous message seemed to sum things up sufficiently.

There is so much I could say. However, I'll just say 'Thank You' and
wait for a response from Avon. In lieu of that response I guess I'll
just start over and follow the docs to request a new node.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us all!

What is the best path for reconnect, please?
Brother, you own no one anything - stoked that yer back around to check the emails and ready for you to get fsxNet back online and rocking.
You can head over to Hub 3, signup and get you connected again.
Current count of friendly/unfriendly faces on the friendly network is
4/2. Not terrible, but seems it may be just a little less friendly than when I was previously active (by observation)...

Just add a (UF) Edit Twit Filter menu option, add the unfriendly names
as they slither out of the woodwork.
Welcome back. If you don't hear from Avon, Deon (I think?) may also be able to help get you reconnected.
My BBS (The ROCK BBS III - 21:4/156) has been down for sometime (after Black Panther shutdown). Of course, you tried to contact me but I
missed it. I would very much like to get reconnected now that that part of my life is behind me (work).

Thanks for the email, I'll drop you a note tonight :)
Nice to see you active again in the BBS community.
Thanks deon! Looking forward to reconnecting. If I havent heard from Avon by friday I will do that.

Thanks paulie! Interestingly, there have been some very promising advances over the past year that im looking forward to taking advantage of.
Nice - I think I've mentioned this to you in the past, but your BBSes
were partly the reason I got back into BBSing around 7 years ago... I wanted to create something themed as well as yours and I think I've done that; albeit in a different way.
You also helped me to learn MPL coding b/c of that BBS List mod that was broke. At any rate, glad yer back around!
Welcome back. :)

you've logged in, claim your BBS (it should be there), or create it,
then let me know and I'll assign your node number. Once I've done that you'll be able to complete your setup.
If you get stuck along the way, let me know.

UPDATE: I did manage to edit one that was there and did not require linking. Perhaps it was remnants of the old node? Anyway, I was also able to find the add link. So, just waiting for a node number and feed info.
Thanks again!
Best to you!

My fsxnet node is not listed so must have been removed. I tried to connect my fido, zero, and agoranet nodes but all failed for one reason or another.

Which one?
Do you have more than 1 BBS?
Not anymore. I did until Spitfire! stopped working. Author passed this la year and he had a kill switch for 01/01/25. I have taken it down.
Guess it's time to reset that pc clock so that y2k bug won't hit until it's 1-1-25 again. :)
There are four BBS names listed on your website, as follows:
The rock
The ROCK BBS
The ROCK BBS III
The ROCK BBS III
I managed to edit the first in the list, which had no data other than the name. I changed it and configured it as 'The ROCK III', adding my information. It can now be found under my account though interestingly still indexed in the search results as 'The rock'.
As I indicated, i attempted to link each as I can tell that at least two of them are agoranet and zeronet. however, agoranet errors indicating that there is not enough information (or words to that effect) and that I should contact the admin. The zeronet linking just flat out fails when i enter the code received via netmail (i tried three times, definition of insanity, right?).
Not being familiar with your website or what it proposes to do Im a bit leary of poking around too much. Im sure its quite simple really but unable
OK, the first one was created by you - and the other 3 will identified by nodelist imports. I've consolidated them all down to one system.
Hmmm... I didnt see any of those systems with an agoranet address (with your BBS name against it anyway)... Anyway, I'm not part of agoranet -
is it still around?
The "linking" code is tied to the BBS id, so if part of the linking process you select the wrong BBS it wont work no. Anyway, I've linked
the consildated system to your user so you can now see/edit it as you need.
I dont mind poking around trying stuff. If you can do something that you shouldnt thats a bug :)
Anyway, did Paul enable you on Hub 4 (I thought I saw him respond)? I can enable you with your Hub 4 address, so you can have another feed of FSX, but netmail wont flow here - it'll still go to Hub 4. If Paul enabled
you then you dont need to feed from me if you dont want. Let me know...
The only other net I could feed you, if you wanted, is fidonet but I imagine you have that covered?
I take advantage of Mystic's personal twit filter.

I do, agoranet node is 46:10/117 (I think there are only about 30 or 40
of us left there. I do see zeronet and both fidonet addresses. Thanks for that! So, can I add my agoranet address?

130+ systems in the current nodelist. Sometimes, network-wide participation slows down to a studdering crawl - and maybe that's partially my fault for not trying to spark up or invent new
conversations on a daily basis.. or give everyone daily updates about my life as a construction worker while I stalk the night, in one of my many super suits, as a sysop in my free time - but most of those systems are connectable and are answering via binkp. So "only about 30 or 40 of us left there" is probably kind of a very far-fetched guess, methinks.
Anyhow, if you want to make sure you're still connected/linked to
Agoranet (or any network, for that matter), making contact with your uplink (which, if you're using 46:10 it would most likely be Andrew
Leary; since there are only two "hubs" in Agoranet, and I'm one of them).
I'm not sure where it became assumed that this clrghaus thing was a hub for all networks, including all of the ones it's not connected/linked
to, but that's false information.
Thank you, kind sir, and have a great day!
I suppose it would have been more appropriate for me to characterize it as having 30 or 40 active posters. And to be clear, I have been off the grid for
some time (thus this thread) so am certainly no authority on the network which has BTW kept humming along.
I am. No problems here.
I get that. It s a nice idea that ive taken a look at. It was offered up by
Deon as a quick way to reconnect to fsxnet and it could certainly work. I may well end up using it. However, Im currently awaiting Pauls response to retain my old node number which was lost when my hub went down while I was comms-out.
When I see aliases, I don't really take the time to figure out who I'm actually talking to. A lot of people I know either by alias, or by real name, but sometimes it's hard to decipher between both. I had thought
you were just some rando talking smack about another network in this
one. :)
I noticed! Glad you didn't have any issues with your feed. Andrew is very reliable, which is why he's helping me out.
I think even if you link with Paul, you can use some of the features of it. Or at least it has seemed so with others in the recent past.
Anyway, did Paul enable you on Hub 4 (I thought I saw him respond)? I enable you with your Hub 4 address, so you can have another feed of F but netmail wont flow here - it'll still go to Hub 4. If Paul enabled you then you dont need to feed from me if you dont want. Let me know.
Paul did not enable anything for me tmk. He mentioned that he would contact me thursday but I have seen nothing from him to date. My preference would be to stay in 21:4/ and perhaps even keep my old node number if possible but that has to be up to Paul, methinks... As Ive stated before, under the circumstances, im not complaining...
Done, and Done...
Thank you Paul!
Best to you!
