You know, being 16 years old or so and running a halfway decent 2-line BBS i Toledo, OH... it was totally a 'bube toob' for me to watch back then! I haven't used the nodespy software since coming back to BBSes in recent years but I'd be a fibber if I said I never did that in my lifetime!
Only thing interesting here lately is some guy that calls mine and really At> plays the heck out of LORD 2. That one where its the overhead-map Zelda At> clone. He calls and plays that for at least 2 to 3 hours.in some ways we're pretty spoiled. if LORD 2 was the ONLY game on a system available to you, it'd be the BEST game. not to take away from the game itself, it is really quite cool.--- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux

I still play it fairly regularly on BBSLink.
Do you have some hints on how to start and what is to be done there?
O:-)

Howdy,
I thought I'd let you know that your messages are unreadable for some reason. I see you are using the new fork of SBBS - so not sure if that is related - but I cannot determine the difference between what you quoted and what you replied to. I've seen it a few times so I thought I'd mention it.
Here is an example from this message:

I play LORD (1) on BBSlink and looked into LORD2 but I didn't get it
:)

His messages look fine here. Maybe they're being reformatted in-route to your system.
Odd indeed.
I'm pretty sure I've noticed it in a couple of nets. I'll pay more
attention and see if there is something else in common, other than
VERT (if that's where they originate) and me.

Annnnnndddd... I knew a Sysop at the time who would advertise their
board and purposely take the line off-hook sometimes. He would then call other boards pretending to be users complaining about they couldn't get in. Brilliant marketing on his part.

Looks fine to me.

Here, the messages from him also do look garbled.
It looks like the linebreaks are stripped out or are converted wrongly
en route to my point (I'm using OpenXP which has my SBBS as uplink).

I didn't really get it when I played it back then, but I've got a lot further this time thanks to this walkthrough:
