Welcome back to those Fidonet members that were affected by
Hurricane Florence... Hurricane Florence's effects are still
being felt in some areas as possibly another Hurricane may form
shortly.. Nov. 30 is the eh... end of Hurricane season in
these parts :(
Outside of Hurricanes, there are still members 'out' as far as
their connection to Fidonet goes, like Bill McGarrity. In
Bill's case, it wasn't the Hurricane that blew away his internet
lines... IIRC, a road crew plowed through an internet cable
over that way... and sometimes, it is even more amazing to me
that after all of these various and sundry reasons to 'not
connect' that we still pull together as a group or 'family'
called Fidonet to connect with each other every day :)
For a interesting perspective of BBSing and BBS's please also
see Rob Swindell's article, "Why BBS?", in this issue. Thank
you again Rob, for sending this in.

Why BBS?
By Rob Swindell, 1:103/705, rob@synchro.net
In the title, "Why BBS?", I'm using "BBS" as a verb. In other
words: "Why should anyone do anything with BBSes?".
Of course, the plural noun "BBSes" I'm referring to here are the
arcane systems you can run (as a sysop) or connect to (as a
user) today which emulate or replicate the old dial-up bulletin
board systems of the late 1970's through the 1990's. These BBS
connections are typically over the Internet using terminal
protocols like Telnet or SSH, but may also include traditional
dial-up modem connections over the "plain-old telephone service"
or even over amateur-licensed radio frequencies. But since
you're here reading this, you probably already knew that.
BBS users or sysops that are either new to the scene or
returning after a long absence often offer their observations
about the state of BBSing and their recommendations to restore
or at least increase the popularity of BBSes beyond the niche
they serve today. But not everyone has the same intentions or
goals when it comes to this hobby, so while some may think
relatively low usership or participation indicates something is
wrong, others might not see that as a problem. If you want
content consumption or participation from thousands of daily
users, maybe a BBS isn't the right thing for you. There are
certainly plenty of other interactive platforms and technologies
that may be more accessible or attractive to your target
audience or user group.
I'm not trying to talk you out of using or running a BBS; I just
think you should have realistic expectations. If *you* like
using or running a BBS, that should be all that matters. You
can't force that enjoyment or desire on others. If you can't
find the content or participation level you'd like to see in
BBSes, it's doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong
with BBSes.
If the BBS users and sysops of the 1980's and 90's were asked to
describe their dream online system of the future, they probably
would describe something similar to the AOL/CompuServe/Prodigy
online services of early 90's or the modern social media
Internet services of today, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit,
YouTube, etc. I doubt very much they would envision a modal 80
x 25 ANSI terminal interface as the ideal online user experience
of the future!
I still endeavor to improve the content availability and user
experience of today's BBSes, but I'm under no delusion that any
BBS is about to supplant the behemoth social media services that
have been and continue to be created and cultivated by
mega-corporations.
However, that doesn't mean that BBSes can't remain fascinating
and captivating to those who are inclined to be fascinated and
captivated by them. *My* first fascination with BBSes was
because they were obscure and arcane: very few people at the
time were online and here was this secret world I had
discovered. I had similar discoveries later with MUDs, IRC,
CU-SeeMe and amateur radio. I'm attracted to these obscure
hobbies and enjoy the comradery I find in others with the same
interests.
Today, my interest with BBSes is more in the technical challenge
of marrying old technologies with new and creating bug-free
software while also trying to inspire BBS content creators and
participation among the BBS users we do have. I don't
necessarily think we need more BBSes or even more BBS users: if
all of today's BBS users just used one BBS, that'd probably
provide the BBS experience that a lot of users would
enjoy/expect more than the hundreds of tiny islands we have.
But having more BBSes provides more technical challenges for me
to solve: more platforms to support, more variance in
sysop-customization and configuration and BBS inter-networking
use-cases. And most of us really do like the idea of having
their own island to decorate and dominate as they see fit; so I
focus on inter-connecting hundreds of tiny islands as seamlessly
as possible with an engaging user experience. And that's fun
for me!
So that brings me back to the question: "Why BBS?" and here are
the answers I have to offer you:
Nostalgia: you likely BBSed back in your younger years and
its one of the ways we can still feel young
Obscurity: it's highly unlikely your ex or your next
prospective employer is going to find and judge your BBS
activity
Independence: the content, management and durability of your
BBS is really up to you (it's your island)
Challenge: the technical challenges involved should be fun
and give you a sense of wonder and accomplishment
Creativity: within the limited confines of BBSes, there's
still plenty of room for the astonishment and inspiration of
others
Experience: believe it or not, knowing how BBSes work may
give you a step ahead in your future technical aspirations
Community: there is a BBS community, or several, and they
will likely welcome your participation and enthusiasm for the
hobby
So in summary, I agree: BBSes can be made more accessible and
user-friendly than they are today and support more mainstream
use-cases than they do today. And maybe, probably, some of
those enhancements will come to fruition in the near future.
Maybe your contributions will help drive the innovation you
seek. But in the meantime, see if you can find the enjoyment
and inspiration that we've found in the BBSes of today and
rejoice in that!

More Information about the FidoGazette:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
contact me :)
Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
Or 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 may fail somewhere along the path before
getting here. Send them instead in the body of your routed
netmail to janis@filegate.net
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one or your email address 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)).
