  • Old Sysops - Give up your hard drives!

    From BBS ( /u/nelgin https://www.reddit.com/user/nelgin ) to All on Tue Mar 24 16:28:55 2026

    I've been discuss with another sysop on how to get an archive of older fidonet messages and it occurs to me there may be a lot of sysops that have messages that they are keeping on old hard disks or floppies but not longer have the hardware to run it or don't want to be bothered by it.
    Would you be willing to send your BBS drive so I can extract the fidonet messages and then optionally return or destroy it for you? I'm not interested in personal messages or stuff except the fidonet messages. Speak up and let's see what we can figure out to try and get back some long lost messages. I prefer stuff prior to 1995 but will take what I can get. submitted by /u/nelgin [link] [comments]
