... Good question. I would imagine that if for some reason I had the notion to sit down and write a brand new piece of modern BBS software, I'd have a hard...
Actually, the C-Net 64 message threading system was just SIMPLE. It was EASY. There was no complexity to it, and oddly enough, it was easy to follow and...
Good info. I sent you an email yesterday. I too have poked at trying to get C=Net up and running under VICE, and actually got it to answer a call. But the...
If myself and/or others were to take on the project of writing a modernized C-Net that was Internet compatible, would you have a problem with it? Would you be...
I could write a message base that emulated nearly exactly the C-Net messaging system.. I did so for a DOS version of C-Net I wrote years ago (well, it was a...

I have expressed to others before that I am willing to talk or even help (if I have TIME) with a new BBS-like invention for the internet. However, I remain...
I'd like to see a web based system (php?) that requires people to login, shows a last 10 visitors (callers), announcements, and then takes them to an area like...
You never hear of anyone running C-Net v1.0 - v9.0. Anyone have copies of these versions? ... 5.0.. I miss those days.. ... the system ... I'd love ... ...
C-Net v9.6 was the first one worth talking about, but I wouldn't bother with anything less than 10 unless just for historical interest. ... From: "xlar54"...
Okay, sounds interesting. However I have recently seen quite a few improvements in "Online Community" system that would appear to offer all of that. For...

I don't think that site you posted comes anywhere near what I'm talking about. What is on that site is simply a message forum, not a dynamic user-created...
http://software.bbsdocumentary.com/COMMODORE/C64/CNET64/ Not sure why I decided to run 9.6 when I had a copy of 10.0 at the time. 9.6 lacked word wrap, and two...

You may be right, but let's not condemn the phpBB concept and product simply because of the limitations of one implementation. I'd like to have some of us...
I run a phpBB community. Two in fact, one for an alternative group and one for an Ultima Online shard.. It's very nice software, but not a real BBS in my...
Well, for one, it'd have to be given a main menu instead of just a directly into the forums. It'd have to be capable of file bases instead of just message...
Some more ideas I thought of when I was on the throne just now: (*) Optionally sysops could have their BBSes publicly advertised to a central server so when...
