yeah i get that too but we have really lost like 99.99% of our users.
it's been bad and getting worse over the last 3 years or so.

I'm not sure how to bring in new people or bring the old ones back.
i thought having web clients would help a lot, and now we have a bunch.

We need some type of new draw. years ago i suggested that we incorporate torrent technology into synchronet so we could share our file bases. that might be helpful to expand synchronet into a torrent site community software.

The thing is, i know a lot of sysops would mess with the files, or not have their ports open for the transfers. if we had networked msgs bases and someone messed with the files, that would mess it up for their sharing in the swarm.

Also, when i had bbstorrents i had a lot of sysops who downloaded files and just couldnt get it. some even didnt know where the files were going when they downloaded them, so they ended up getting 160 gigs 2 or 3 times.

I don't get the hostility; not sure what I did to offend you, but don't worry, I won't interact with you further.

Enjoy your sandbox.

That's good to know. I'm on my last 32-bit junkyard system to run the BBS
on, the next junker has more than 4 GB of memory and I'd like to use it all.

I see more new user emails coming through nowadays, I should check and see
if/when they call back, how often they're calling.

Recommend you ignore "MRO". He's the resident troll/asshole, and is a
complete moron to boot. Doesn't even have the balls to use his real
name anywhere. Doesn't even run a BBS.

You forget how to quote, doofus? Or did you do that on purpose to avoid
proper context?

If you *HAD* quoted, we'd all see that I didn't say I got "many" users.
What I did say was that I was sure that not all my users are sysops. So
your stupid comment doesn't even have any relevance to the topic being
discussed.

How many users do you have that aren't sysops? OH! WAIT! That's
right, YOU DON'T RUN A BBS...

FOAD, troll-boi.
