Jon,

Let it die man, god.

Some folks are never happy...yet, they can't stand these 2 truths:

"Life Is Not Fair Or Burger King".

Fair is a fall carnival, a weather term, and a call in baseball.

And, you can NOT always "Have It Your Way" (having worked for them
for 5 years nearly 50 years ago, I can say that).

Another one is "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, and
lemonade meringue pie".

While the lemonade would give me canker sores in my mouth, that
lemon meringue pie sounds good.

And, while I don't know much about a Raspberry Pi, a pineapple
upside down cheesecake sounds delicious.

We will now pause 3 minutes for drooling. <G>

Jon,

That is so true. BBSing was the original social media. :)

And I *still* think it's the best out there. What I enjoy is the customizations and things like that and the simple look and feel of it. It's tight and compact and it hasn't really ever changed over time.

MySpace sort of did that by allowing users to customize their MySpace page with HTML and CSS styling, as well as music. I've heard a lot of people actually didn't like the inconsistency of everyone's profile pages though. I guess individuality and personalization isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Livejournal had a whole template system customizable with CSS. Made for a nice hybrid between a blog platform and a social network. I just logged onto LJ, still see some friends' posts.

It saddens me to look back at LJ; two of my friends IRL and on LJ have passed away in the years since we hung out there. It was a simpler time, definitely.

The Blog Era in the early 2000s was fun; I was living and working in San Francisco, LiveJournal had an office there, Wordpress and Moveable Type were there as well. The Tmobile Sidekick started a "moblog" trend, with people posting low-res photos from their "smart" phones. Blogger, too, I think - this was before they were bought by Google. Interesting times.

That's cool. I didn't know (or remember) LiveJournal allowed that kind of customization.

That's sad. :(

Yeah, I used to use LiveJournal back then, and then my contacts/friends there moved to MySpace and/or Facebook (later). I enjoyed using LiveJournal.

The main reason I'm using Facebook now is that's what most my friends & family use. I would have stayed on LiveJournal or MySpace if they were there instead. Sometimes I wonder what makes a certain social network so popular, and why Facebook has been so popular for so long now. To me, it basically seems like basically the same thing, but different site.

I'd enjoy checking it out once you make it public or invite only. Let me know either way and I'll give it a shot or two.

I really did love customizing the MySpace page I had years back, although BBSing has always been consistant. I admire the authors of Synchronet and Mystic for keeping it oup to date and still being able to call in with a good terminal like SyncTerm or Netrunner. I haven't really had a chance to tinker with the latest updates like more calumns or anything fancy, just the plain terminal with a little color and I'm good to go.

I finally figured out how to get the DOORWAY utility working on
the system, so I added several ham radio and weather related doors
to the BBS.

But, I'm still looking for the SyncWx, Solar-Data, and CAPTCHA doors/utilities for Synchronet. The GitHub address I got just took
me to the code, and I want the programs themselves.

DoorWay is normally only needed if you want to run regular (non-door) programs on a BBS, as a door.

But, I'm still looking for the SyncWx, Solar-Data, and CAPTCHA doors/utilities for Synchronet. The GitHub address I got just took
me to the code, and I want the programs themselves.

If they're written in JavaScript, then the code is the program.

No problem. Stock is something to work with though, just make little customs every once in awhile, it'll be looking sweet before too long. Either way, I'd call, looking around for more boards to call on a daily basis.

Very nice! It feels incrediable once you get something working you've worked on for awhile on sometimes. One thing I like about the BBS scene is adding in new mods and door games or something.

But, I'm still looking for the SyncWx, Solar-Data, and CAPTCHA doors/utilities for Synchronet. The GitHub address I got just took

Yeah, that'd be source. Does it say what language it's in?

I found the files, but the only one I got to work was the Solar
