Mystic is alright, but I don't know why they are ahead on this. The real poll is how many people run the software.

Twice as many people run Synchronet, and it has way more features. I think maybe the default menus on Mystic are prettier and certain things are a little easier to setup, but Synchronet is way more powerful.

I'm not going to go flame the Mystic people, but I don't get it :)

there's a lot of mystic bbses. i'm not sure we could get a good figure of who runs what. not many people participate in polls or want to.

i dont know why people run mystic. i guess they are told there's no other option and the author says it is a spiritual sucessor to rg and telegard. i loved rg and telegard and i don't find it as such.

i think people should check out elebbs or just run an older dos bbs software, but if they like running it, that's good.

i haven't heard people say they like running mystic, though. i just think they stick with it because it's not like synchronet because they find it scarey due to the .js.

MR> i think people should check out elebbs or just run an older dos bbs
MR> software, but if they like running it, that's good.

Since I used RA in the 90s, I was setting up a BBS with EleBBS before I started using Synchronet. But EleBBS wasn't exiting with an errorlevel to run events like I was expecting (that's how RA did its events). I thought it was a bug and decided to look for other BBS software and found Synchronet. I don't know if EleBBS is still actively maintained, but I haven't heard much about it, and I haven't heard of anyone on the message networks posting from a BBS running EleBBS.

you could have talked to the developer about it.

pcmike hosts the site. no it's not being 'updated' every year but it works
just fine. i have a person who i host for that uses elebbs.

i'm not a big caller of bbses but there's a few bbses running elebbs that i know of.
