After nine months in development, part one of Back to the BBS: The Return to Being Online is out! This new documentary covers the past and present of our scene. What's really great about it is that it highlights what's happening NOW
as opposed to being stuck in the past. It features interviews with members of our scene as well as overviews of some of the top boards. Check it out at: https://youtu.be/nO0wGSX2liQ
Seemed more like a way for Mystic sysops to adverise their boards.

To be fair, nothing was mentioned specifically, I don't think. We'll
have tosee what is upcoming. Thought I must admit, I fell asleep during the lastpart, it was that interesting lol.

Did you notice Synchronet wasn't mentioned?
However, I have promoted calls all over the place, for interviews and content: BBS's, reddit, facebook and many other places for people to get involved. Many, many have, but literally nothing to do with Synchronet - nobody has shown the least bit interest in talking to me to represent that.
I am a user of BBSes, not a Sysop.
Remember that the audience is not for sysops, or BBS afficionados, it
is for a potential new generation of BBS users.
For those that haven't fallen asleep (sic), here's what the contents of Part 2 and Part 3 are:
PART 2:
Games/ Doors
Mods
Hardware (eg the wifi232, some commodores and stuff, but not much here)
BBS Server Software (eg Mystic, Enigma, ... Synchronet)
BBS Messaging /echomail
Privacy

Hi All,
Did you notice Synchronet wasn't mentioned?
Part two of the documentary specifically goes into BBS software. Think of part
one as an introduction to all the other sections. I wanted to make sure that Part one was the thing that got potential newcomers to BBS's into it. If they want to know more, they can either call into a BBS, or watch the following parts as they go along.

least bit interest in talking to me to represent that. I can't go chasing down
every single person and product in the scene, so, if there is something that needs to be addressed, before it is too late, now is the time to speak out and
get what needs to be covered in the docu. I personally very little about Synchronet. I am a user of BBSes, not a Sysop.

I won't watch this trash because Synchronet is not even mentioned. It's mostly the mystic boys and I do not like mystic and the SysOps that run it.

Just watched the first part and it's very impressive and highly entertaining.
Well done!

If you think there is something that's not there that should be, let me know!

The Synchronet author would be a great choice. He sounds like a
fun and entertaining fellow (proficient programmer, drummer,
family man). You should have no trouble tracking him down.
You've already introduced his terminal software, SynchTerm.

Me too. Decades earlier, I did operate a few BBSes, and co-
sysoped a PCBoard system on the side. Now, I approach this hobby
from a user's perspective and messaging (echomail).

That's quite a package for PART 2. WRT echomail, don't forget to
mention:
[1] offline (QWK),
[2] nntp methods (JAMnntp, SAMPInntp), and
[3] point software (OpenXP, WinPoint), and even
[4] software that can be used on a smartphone or tablet.
Re [4] http://ambrosia60.dd-dns.de/fidonet/fidonet-on-
smartphones.htm ..summarizes the options nicely, although one of
them is nolonger supported and has bugs.
Hop on over to the fidonet echo FIDONET.TELEGRAM to join the
conversation and some experimentation.
