Well, Spy Visits Spy BBS is off to a good start thanks to John Polka and The Doctor, The Doctor for setting it up , and John Polka for testing it, 28 callers today, some of them mine, I am sending files to it and my Ultra Satan with my NetUSBEE and UIPTool 279. All of the known BBS programs will go online as soon as I get what is in the public domain, and I have 8 GIGS online starting from Drive C to Drive P. Solved the Negative Free space by putting the right folders in the ForemST folder on every drive , now I have to successfully change the BBS listing from Phone Numbers to Telnet Addresses. That is coming soon, All of Petari's Games are going online , so they will be available in separate archives, and a BIG THANKS goes out to Petari for creating them in the 1st place.
I will have 25 message bases , not including the email message base, and at least 20 download and upload directories, each directory can have subdirectories, for every category, a LOT of work, but you guys are worth it.
About my BBS if you have not already heard of it, it is based on going back in time to 1989, I chose 1989 cause the calendar is the same and I can actually set the time on my Atari Mega ST4 to todays date but 1989, and the day and years, leap years , etc. will match up, (looked it up), the calendar repeats itself basically every 20 years.
I ran Spy Visits Spy BBS back in the early 80s to late 90s on an first and Atari 800XL, then an Atari 130XE , then finally on an Atari ST, ending up on a PC from 1997-1999. I stopped running it in the year 1999 to 2000. In-between the time I had over 800 callers and we had a ball at the time.
What I am about to do is recreate those times, and the fun, lets not forget about the fun, Rules ??? As it says on my BBS I hate rules, there are no rules, just keep it civil. I m pretty easy going , and there will be a message base just for that called: Get this: Joke and Poke, the Buy and Sell message base has been called Buy and Spy, and the whole theme is of the 1989 game , Spy Versus Spy, it is my favourite game, and my favourite theme for BBSing. Hey lets face it, it will be what I put into it eh? (You can tell that I am a Canadian eh?). Russ
