Why Run a BBS?
One of our sysops wonders, and somehow I think this question is
considered by many of us. Here's one answer, see if you agree.
It would be interesting to see other's opinions and thoughts,
feel free to send me a netmail or an email for inclusion next
week.

Thank you to Vince Coen for sending this in :)
A PRIEST & A RABBI
A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an
airplane. The priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it
still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?" The
rabbi responded,” Yes, that is still one of our laws." The
priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?" To which the
rabbi replied, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation
and tasted a ham sandwich." The priest nodded in understanding
and went on with his reading.
A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father,
is it still a requirement of your church that you remain
celibate?" The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a
part of our faith." The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you
ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?" The priest
replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my
Faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, but sat
thinking for about five minutes.
Finally, the rabbi uttered ........... "Sure beats a ham
sandwich, doesn't it?"

Why do you run a BBS?
By Dan Richter, 1:317/3
This question has been discussed in a couple different networks
in recent time. There have been a lot of great answers
mentioned by Sysops. Nostalgia seemed to be one of the
recurring answers that was mentioned. Most of the Sysops today,
also ran BBSs back in the 80s and 90s. It wasn’t as simple to
set up and maintain at that time.
Back then, we needed a phone line and modem for starters. I
won’t even get into all of the programs and doors that we had to
get set up and registered. If we wanted to pick up a network,
there was a good chance there would be long distance phone calls
to obtain the feed, and at the blazing fast speed of high-speed
2400 baud modem, it took a while to transfer. What made it all
worth it, at least for me, was having 40-50 callers per day who
were active in all aspects of the board. Files were uploaded
and downloaded. Message bases were read and replied to. Door
games were always busy with daily callers. I even added a paid
subscription access which would give more time and download
capability, which some users took advantage of.
Today, the BBS community is a completely different world than it
was back then. Yes, a lot of us have decided to start up our
boards again and customize them the way we like. We have
connected to networks to gain access to echomail bases and
files. We’ve set up door games, and connected some of them for
interbbs play. Our connection speeds are so much faster, and
our hard drives are larger than what we could obtain back in the
day. Instead of having CD-Roms online for files, we copy
multiple CDs onto our hard drive.
Why do we do it?
Let’s face it. At this point, we are not doing it for the users.
There aren’t enough of them anymore. There are a handful that
will stop in and check out the different BBSs for the sake of
nostalgia. These users either never connect again, or they
decide they should set up a BBS, and they last for a month or so
before disappearing.
When I originally set up Castle Rock BBS, back in 1992, I didn’t
know a batch file from a GIF file. All I knew is that I could
run the shareware version of these BBS programs just fine on my
computer. How hard would it be to put it online? With the help
of a fellow Sysop, I finally got the hang of batch files, and at
one point, had the entire system from mailer and BBS program to
door games and utilities all running within one batch file. I
was so proud of myself. The amount of knowledge that I gained
from running that BBS was phenomenal. Batch files, init strings
(I don’t miss those), config files, etc.
Before I decided to start up Castle Rock BBS again, I had called
around to some other BBSs and looked to see what was happening
in the community again. I knew the user base had not come back.
I noticed the same user names appearing on all the different
boards, and most of them were other Sysops. I re-joined the
community to further my knowledge. Not only did I have to
remember how everything was set up 20 years ago, but now I had
to get it to work with today’s technology. I had to figure out
how to get 16 bit door games to run on my 64 bit Win10 system.
I then had to get these door games to not look for a serial
port, but direct them to a socket. I had to figure out how to
direct callers to a specific port instead of a modem’s telephone
number. Basically, I needed to get 20+ year old software to run
with today’s technology. I did have a lot of questions and
received assistance from some great people in the current BBS
community.
I don’t have a web page yet, and I don’t have FTP access
available. I am planning on doing this in the future. I’m just
telnet accessible. Yes, I have seen very few callers to the
board. At this point, I’m not doing it for the callers. I’m
doing this to give me a reason to learn more. Because I’m using
Mystic BBS right now, I’m working on re-teaching myself how to
program in Pascal, and MPL, which are closely related. I’ve got
a book that I will be reading to learn a bit about how to
program in Python. Right now, I’ve got a couple of programming
projects that are in the works. I feel they will help me, and
other Sysops out there.
I’m at the point in my life, where I love to learn new things.
This hobby gives me the reason to pick up the programming books,
or to dive into a different operating system, and learn about
them. I had become too complacent with using Windows to surf
the net. Instead of reading what someone else had for dinner
that night, or how many times they were on the toilet, on social
media, I’m working on creating a program that will help other
Sysops around the world.
For me, not only am I continuing to learn while participating in
a hobby I enjoy, but I have the opportunity to help other people
around the world to better their understanding of the hobby. As
much as I love to have the user base that was around back in the
day, I don’t care if I get another call on my board. I’m having
fun, and learning something. So, why do you run a BBS?

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles,
please contact me :)
New!
Mailing-List subscriptions via
http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth
when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd
MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will
fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
:)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
netmail Janis as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
