    Alright guys; ya'll know the WWiV sysops and I'm wanting to see the wildest or most customization or... does the WWiV community have a BEST WWiV board or some BBS that has a sysop who's created a super active, unique or modified WWiV BBS?

    What is the best WWiV board online in 2024? What is your favorite?

    I don't have many favorites these days but, back in the day my favorites were Eagles Dare and City Morgue. I keep in touch with StarSlayer from City Morgue and try to get him to get it back online. Again, a heavily modded 4.24 version. Multiple networks i.e., IceNet, FileNet, WWIVnet, Fido etc....

    Unfortunately, speaking for myself, I don't know which systems are customized or modded out there beyond say Mark's Weather Station BBS as it's still on a heavily modded version of 4.24/4.30.

    What I'm hoping to do is compile the list of all the accessible WWIV BBS's out there and add them to my list in my terminal program and actually start calling them. Right now, I'm only a rare caller on maybe three?

    I kind of feel bad about that. I should really be calling all of our lnked BBS's but with most of the chatter being on our SysOp and General Subs, and hardly any local sub activity I just haven't been following through.

    The problem with 5.x is its very hard to mod since most of us knew what to do basic stuff on 4.x series. Would something like LUA used in Talisman be better for people to do things?

    No idea. I don't know what LUA is. Nor Talisman for that matter.

    I think that because the entire source is available for v5.x+, mods should be just as easy, providing that the 'modder' has the correct skills and/or interest. What is the code? C++?

    Mark's Weather Station BBS as it's still on a heavily modded version of JM> 4.24/4.30.

    I kind of feel bad about that. I should really be calling all of our
    lnked BBS's but with most of the chatter being on our SysOp and General Subs, and hardly any local sub activity I just haven't been following through.

    Kk - I think I'm on Weather Station and will make a point to dial in soon... thanks for the suggestion!! :P

    Theres always tomorrow for dialing out m0re - I try to get around, and have a point to jump into WWiV boards a bit more here shortly.

    I have used ChatGPT to write Python code for me before. I have also used it to write automations for Home Assistant.
