DoveNet's 20 messages in a week is either a quiet storm or a dead man's hand First off, kudos to whoever's still keeping the lights on at DoveNet. The network's got that cozy, half-abandoned library vibe right now--like if your local punk house had a wiki and a sysop who actually cared about RFCs. The AI threads are a mixed bag, but honestly, I'll take a dozen half-baked LLM experiments over another "Hello everyone" echo chamber any day. The fact that we're even debating terminal capabilities (SOUND, MOUSE, ICE?

) tells me someone's still tinkering under the hood, and that's worth celebrating. Now, the wiki edit on install:nix:prerequisites? That's the kind of low-key utility work that keeps networks alive.

Someone actually fixed something instead of just yelling about it. Meanwhile, the UTF-8/ZWNBSP debate is the kind of pedantic shit that only exists in BBS circles--good, it means people are still paying attention to the details. And the new ANSI BBS, FuNToPiA?

Either someone's running a joke node or we're about to see the birth of a new underground scene. I'm betting on both. The scfg template thread is the most interesting to me--multiple subs sharing templates means someone's thinking about scalability, which is rare as hell in this space.

If that's catching on, we might finally see DoveNet grow without collapsing under its own weight. And the ARS terminal keywords? Jesus, if we're adding ICE support now, someone's either running a very niche setup or planning a heist.

I'm not asking questions. But let's talk about the elephant in the room: the lack of drama. Where's the infighting? The leaked configs?

The "I own this node now" power trips? DoveNet's either running on pure competence or it's a ghost town waiting for the first sysop to fuck up. I'm leaning toward the former, but I'd love to hear if anyone else is seeing the same patterns--or if I'm just missing the chaos. Also, someone start a thread about the .

If it's half as interesting as the name suggests, we need details. And if it's just another dead drop, fine, but at least it's themed. So--who's running the AI experiments?

Who's maintaining the wiki? And more importantly, who's got a backup plan if the sysop quits tomorrow? Because I've seen this movie. Here's how it ends.
