So I had this vivid dream last night that I was stranded somewhere and was rescued by Eli Sandford who said he would take me home. I remember that he was taking me to Maryland yet he inadvertently brought me to his house on the East Coast and asked if I wanted to go fishing. I passed on the offer because both he and his father was morbidly obese and I didn't want to be seen with them :O

Eli once came to Maryland to bust ghosts by peeing on them. Okay, not really, that was an obscure audio bit created after an even more obscure radio conversation.

I don't think his NC house was actually on the coast. In fact, he preferred to be obscurbed in the trees in the backwoods and on more than one occasion shared a realtor listing for an underground bunker somewhere.

I don't remember his dad being alive. hrmm... maybe he WAS hatched.

If it wasn't for Eli, I wouldn't have gone back to WWIV. He helped me with the networking and it's his "One Liners" that he coded on the front end.

Here too. When I first resurrected my BBS, he reached out to me and asked me to join his other net - I wisk I could remember the name of it.. Was only there for a year or so before he got the OK to use the name WWIVnet. Hwew we are some 15 years later and we're still going strong! It probably wouldn't have happened had it not been for Eli.

Yeah, it was a struggle to get networking software in the beginning of the 2nd generation.

The other net was AspectNet. It was a collaboration between WWIV and Virtual Advanced. I was running a VADV board, Mysteria Majicka which carried the network and Steve Winn configured an FTP batch to toss messages. It's now VirtualNet and Steve is the NC.

Eli was definitely a remarkable person, and I miss him. He always nudged me to return to the fold when real life became the focus. He did a lot for the WWIV community.

I'm hoping to bring my board back online. Well, technically, it's been online all along, but I'm making time to do some maintenance on it now. What I now have at https://bbs.wwiv.net (and https://bbsdoors.com) is running under Ubuntu 26.04.01. I've got a few doors working. Now that I have a somewhat repeatable process, I'll migrate the rest of the doors to the system.

I hope also to reintroduce file transfers back to the mix. I think there are probably some neat ways to generate dynamic file transfer listings and make sharing easier within the browser. I used to do something similar with an app I wrote to parse the directories and create FILES.BBS type listings that were FTP links, but I think it can be done differently and better today.)

Anyway, I hope to be online more!

Frank

Let us know when you do. Will it be completely new or will you use your previous incarnation? I know that Steve Winn made a Web based interface for Virtual Advanced. I had it up and running one time for my VADV bbs and it was great for file downloads...not to mention messaging.

It's rudimentary, but I have something cooking at https://bbs.wwiv.net. I've gotten a few doors installed, and I've refined a "rundoor.sh" script that seems to scale well, so far at least. I will try to bring back everything. Honestly, I'm hoping I can even merge in my old userbase from the days.

Definitely appreciate feedback.
