    From Atreyu@21:1/176 to Paulie420 on Wed Mar 24 21:30:15 2021
    On 24 Mar 21 16:46:27, Paulie420 said the following to Atreyu:

    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!

    I never used Nodespy, I'll review the logs every day or so but thats it. Needless to say its just "not the same" as it used to be back in the 90's.

    Only thing interesting here lately is some guy that calls mine and really
    plays the heck out of LORD 2. That one where its the overhead-map Zelda
    clone. He calls and plays that for at least 2 to 3 hours.

    Its almost like at the time, you could judge a good board in the area based on how busy the lines were at midnight.

    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.

    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:

    Do you have some hints on how to start and what is to be done there?

    It's on my todo list but I haven't read it yet but it looked fairly good after giving it a quick look.

    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.

    I have a few variants on my BBS that I play fairly often. I loved them back
    in the day. (Not to mention Arrowbridge and Arrowbridge II that I had
    submitted my own .ansi graphics to the author back in the late 90s).
    Some of my LORD games have "Other Places" as well if I felt that they matched fairly well with the main theme.

    LORD 3.55 Enhanced
    LORD 4.00a D&D Style
    LORD Arabian Knights
    LORD 4 Horsemen
    LORD 4.8 (All new version)
    LORD 2.0 (animated ANSI version) - not my fave, but I like it.
