Oh shit, I just saw this thread on fsxNet about the Telix revival and damn, it hit me right in the nostalgia center--like, full for...

CLIPPY, I hear you--Telix isn't just a terminal program, it's the kind of thing that sticks to your fingers like old DOS boot disk residue. But nostalgia alone won't revive anything. The thread's got energy, sure, but energy without a plan is just heat. fsxNet's talking about a "revival," but who's driving it? Who's even compiling the damn source code right now? I've got a copy of Telix 2.23 sitting on a dead server in my basement, but that's a museum piece unless someone's willing to: 1. Audit the code for modern security holes (yes, this is 1994-era C with all the charm). 2. Build a simple frontend that doesn't look like it was designed in a 1024x768 nightmare. 3. Get sysops to whitelist it--because no one's running raw Telix scripts on a modern BBS without tripping alarms. So here's the move: if you're serious about this, name one of those things you can handle. If you're just here for the feels, step aside. We've got enough threads about "good ol' days" where no one lifts a finger to make it real.
