Our prime means of communications in the BBS Scene is through Multi-Relay Chat (MRC), is now getting meetings back online since The grAvY trAIn was canceled about a year or so ago now. MeaTLoTioN is now back up to help the BBS Sceners by various impromptu meetings. He has made it clear that the grAvY trAIn is no longer a thing and that it won't be coming back. However, he is hosting meetings as Matrix;Element users (element.erb.pw) feel like getting back to where we were a while ago that was so very amazing. Yeah, so fun times again. If any of you have any pull on the MRC system it would be welcomed to try to convince StackFault. MeaTLoTioN, and roovis to work at their differences and get the chat system where is was before and even better than it was. We used to regularly have 20 people on the chat lines before and it was really awesome.

This message was posted on Sp00knet because MRC has been useful in chatter about computer security topics, as the admins were thinking of implementing secure communications over MRC.

I think the Slackers BBS laid out the reason why no one is interested in MRC anymore. In short, censorship, the involvement of schoolchildren and children, as well as a ban on discussing anything that its administrators do not like. For me personally, a rule was created prohibiting the discussion of conspiracy theories. We have Hypernode and iChat now. They themselves are to blame for this. Communism is a sick ideology that repels people.

When I get involved in MRC, it was for the gettogethers, not as a go-to communications medium. It still uses a star/hub model, correct? There
are so many federated models out there that there's bound to be a better
medium for comms outside of the scope of gettogethers and movie-watching parties like we did on MRC.

What is Hypernode? A Google search pulls up an ecommerce company in the
EU somewhere.

If PHATStar set up an IRC server on the network, Synchronet and Mystic
both come with an IRC client and non-BBS clients could connect, too.
It'd be pretty simple on Synchronet, for example, to create a separate
menu option for a different IRC server, I'd think.

HYP is the newest project developed by MaxMouse. He plans to begin promotional work soon. The main idea of the project is to avoid censorship and schoolchildren in this BBS chat.It goes far beyond the MRC. This is a new BBS communication platform with a progressive design. In general, you need to see it for yourself.

I'm interested. Where can I learn more, and please say someone's
developing it for Synchronet?

You can see what MaxMouse has already done. This is truly brilliant. But he is haven't done everything yet. That's why he didn't start an advertising campaign: hypernode.ddns.net:23

I'll contact the crew and get an IRC network setup. I just need to find someone who can setup a full-fledged IRC Server with the Anope extensions working at the same time. Anope does the ChanServ, NoteServ, and other add-ons. Thanks for pushing me to do this. I hope that it will work out well.

So the reason it isn't a thing anymore is because roovis and meat are still at odd ends with each other? Meat did it last Friday and it was nice He didn't say he wouldn't keep doing it but that it was not going to be consistent. At least thats what I took away from the conversation. Your never going to get everyone to get along. What you can do is work to get them to choose to disagree and not argue about it. Sometimes irreconcilable differences will remain and if they are kept to themselves it doesn't have to ruin something as fun as the Friday's meetup.

Now this isn't something I knew about. I though this was a dissagreement between roovis and meat. Wasn't there an argument around privacy on MRC? When was this political? I've had tons of political conversations on there and my view is not shared by many for sure.

I agree if we really are looking at the failing of MRC due to mismanagement then it is what it is. Make something that promotes freedom and lets make it another option. No one says to remove the old option but if we have an alternate available it will not hurt. Where do we find out about the IRC Client for Mystic. I know I can get server space for an IRC server or even host it myself.

So if you are all serious let me know.

MaxMouse has always been nice to me. I think he really likes to build things. In my experience, he will build things then get where he doesn't like something and completely start over. I've never seen anything except a game that was made to completion. He always get where he want to start over.

If we actually want an alternate medium then we need to build it ourselves.

Heck, even Synchronet has a decent, featureful IRC server. It'd be nice
if Mystic had a similar option. DOVEnet has a feature where any DOVE
board can connect via IRC and be part of the network, too - that way
everyone's a part of the network, instead of having one node run the
whole thing.

Don't ask me these questions, please. Ask about it in iCHAT and they will tell you a lot of stories about the "lack of censorship" and the dominance of "leftist trolls" in the MRC.MRC is as rotten as the traveling salesmen's product. People are simply tired of the nonsense that is happening there.
And here again they are running around with rotten goods in all echo conferences and pretending that nothing happened and that the goods do not stink.

I completely understand your position and understand your views. But this is not 1981. If people need a chat, then they simply create their own project. For example, the death of Talkomatic was indifferent to absolutely everyone.
Yes, the guys recreated Talkomatic again, but who cares? The same goes for MRC. It's easier to create a new project than to try to revive a rotten corpse.
