Echomail is fun! I can't believe I waited like 30 years to get into it!

I'm carrying 4 echomail networks now, and by the time I'm done reading
messages and I poll again, there's a whole bunch more to read!

I like it. Now I understand the hype. But people should post more! (I have an addictive personality!)

Just remember that there's no swearing on Fidonet. When someone swears on Fidonet, it kills everyone's buzz except for the moderators. It will only enhance the moderator's buzz :)

Which networks are you on now? If you haven't checked out DOVE-Net, I'd get on
there too. It's quite busy and sometimes inflammatory.

It's a QWK network, so a little different (but still pretty easy) to get going with Mystic.

You read my mind! I like Dovenet. I used to read it when Alcoholiday when running.

I'll give it a try!

Thanks!

Black Panther has a great write-up on how to get it going. Hit up his BBS at telnet://bbs.castlerockbbs.com and look for the file ms-qwk12.zip.

You should have been in Region 12. We currently have the Z1C in the region and I am the RC. Be rest assured, neither one of us has a fucking problem with it. Most of the time I have to make sure Nick keeps his pants on.

That was how things went for me, too...previously I didn't really communicate much other than IRC lol.

You must be on different nets than me...

Hehe on a serious note I trimmed the number of nets I carry down pretty substantially. I think there's a "less is more" aspect for callers, or at
least for me as an administrator.

I'll admit that I often laugh at stuff that other people don't think is funny. That's why all my favorite TV shows keep getting cancelled.

I don't particularly want to see people swearing - that does nothing for me. But I find it hilarious to see grown men arguing about about their consitutional right to swear!

But it's not funny if, perhaps, that moderator has kids, grandkids, or an elderly parent hovering nearby, who might be curious about what the text on
the screen says.

It was awkward at first when my mom visited me and saw me working on my BBS (Compufuck) but fortunately for me she didn't have a problem with it. Some of those other dudes are probably getting a wooden spoon to the ass or something.

Are you one of the guys from #mysticbbs? That was a thing back around 2014. I used to visit there a lot.

Hehe on a serious note I trimmed the number of nets I carry down pretty substantially. I think there's a "less is more" aspect for callers, or at least for me as an administrator.

That's a good idea. I trimmed my echos down by removing most of the unsocial ones - scistats here, fidonews on fido, stuff like that. They seem like conversation killers to me.

Maybe? Can't remember. My IRC nick was esc^. I'm on discord now, and the
server I use does gate #mysticbbs IIRC.

That's a good idea. I trimmed my echos down by removing most of the unsocial ones - scistats here, fidonews on fido, stuff like that. They seem like conversation killers to me.

I set these echos up as default off for newscans but sometimes like perusing them myself. For me, I've discovered each net has its own personality, so I
try to curate the nets that align best with what I believe my board's personality tries to be.

Yeah, elitist bullshit hehehe.

So the RC stands for Restore Clothing? Good to know and we thank you for the sacrifices you make in doing that. Now if only we could get someone to take up the mantle of Sock Coordinator for Region 12.

Hmm Shitty's mom spanking me with a wooden spoon for offensive BBS choices. Damn I usually have to go to Reddit for this kind of unique setup. Ah well scinet is a full service network...<unzip>....

The issue with fidonet isn't so much language as it is people who have been in their mom's basement for the past 50 years still hanging on to the old ways. The P4 thumpers as we call them, waving around policy 4 like it's still valid or the law. Those are the trouble makers.
