So i find this hillarious.

i've been calling a bunch of active bbses lately and i've noticed this.

years ago the mystic guys were talking about how there were so many
stock borking synchronet bbses.

now for some reason there's a bunch of mystic bbses. and what are they?you guessed it! stock boring mystic bbses.

jesus christ.

Sometimes the tide is high. Sometimes the tide is low.

I get the feeling it comes down to Synchronet having more users and easier support / people to reach out to for help.

Then again I don't know the landscape THAT well so I am speaking from a position of ignorance.

Synchronet came with almost everything needed to get set up onto DOVENet, I think that's part of the n00b Synchronet sysop complaints I hear.

"It was always tougher when we were starting out as sysops! We had to
whistle connect tones and write xmodem subroutines in assembler!"

Now it must be much easier, manuals are so easy to find and understand.

Heh, manuals... either you get it from osmosis, it's blatantly obvious,
a first result on google, or it doesn't get done... /snark

Every part of that sounds like a significant sweat equity investment. And I thought having to wait 15 minuets to download a 25mb Gold Source engine map was bad back when I was trolling the net of the early 2000's on XP.
