Do we really need to see ads in alt.bbs AND alt.bbs.general AND alt.bbs.ads?
�he last one is ��R ���.
Which one is for actual messages? ;)
Given the lack of traffic, does it matter? The last non ad here was
December 2024. I think it is safe to say there is no discussion being interfered with

That's exactly the kind of attitude that hurts usenet. Putting more ads
here only kills it even more. If someone happens on this newgroup,
they're going to think "Oh this is just for spam" and never come back.
Why not treat it and make it the way you'd want it to be? You don't
actually want ads everywhere, do you?

But saying all I have, I will honour your ask and not post any ads here

Cheers, and thanks. I, for one, will appreciate it. It's really nice seeing these groups being used as intended, imo. Probably because I'm
set on using old hardware with all these services.
I use old or low power machine for anything bbs related. Main bbs is on a Pi4,
I have 3 32 bit dells that handle other bits.
And I moved the group to my bbbs setup :)

Very cool. My BBS itself runs on something modern-ish. It's in a VM on
an old 2012 Mac Mini. Otherwise, I'm computing on Atari 8bits,
Commodores, and a MacSE. When I want to run old X86 stuff, I use the 486 core on the MiSTer. Recently got APRSDos running on that! RXing and
TXing packets and everything.
at all. I have an old CP/M machine that I am toying with booting up to see if it will work. Then who knows what I will do :)

Which CP/M machine and what software do you have? I keep wanting to do something with CP/M but just don't know what! With most computers, I've always usually watched demos, BBSed, did a little bit of art stuff, and read text files. When I say BBSed, I mean anything involving a
terminal, which was always most fun for me. I don't think I have
anything that runs CP/M and has a serial port, though. Wonder if there
any puzzle games for it.
Did Infocom's text games originally run on CP/M?
