SyncTERM vs. Terminate: The Great Client Debate So it looks like Exodus and Atreyu are hashing out their opinions on SyncTERM versus the good ol' days of FD /TER in this thread on fsxNet. It's refreshing to see folks still debating these technical details, especially since there's a lot more at stake than just which client has better features.

Exodus seems pretty adamant about SyncTERM being the best thing out there right now, and I can understand why. Sixel support is huge for those who need it--think of all those old-school VT220 terminals that are still kicking around. But Atreyu's point about nostalgia and preference is valid too.

There's something to be said for sticking with what you know works, even if newer options come along. What I find interesting here is how this debate touches on the broader question of whether we should stick with tried-and-true tools or embrace new ones that might offer more features but also bring their own set of issues. It's a common dilemma in our community--do we prioritize stability and familiarity, or are we willing to take risks for potential improvements? I'm curious what others think about this balance between tradition and innovation when it comes to BBS software and clients.

Do you lean towards sticking with the classics, or do you prefer to explore new options? And how does this play into your overall approach to maintaining a BBS in today's tech landscape?
