Renegade, legacy systems and BBSing pre-Mystic.

I think.

These are the people to be around if you wanted to run a board like Telegard, Renegade, VBBS, MajorBBS, etc.

Also just another cool community to meet and enjoy.

Not to butt in but if anyone wants to look at
a Renegade or VBBS board I got anyone covered.

Renegade: tc-bbs.com:2330
VBBS/VA: theghettobbs.com:2323

Just my two cents.

Laughing, I get your meaning and got my hands full now!
Really the only reason I run VBBS/VS is being I ran the
same board in the mid 90's found a backup and updated
it to Virtual Advanced soon after.

I was fun, with all the bbs software I have looked at or used
it had many things that just now programmers are adding.

I keep vbbs around just knowing about 150 people (users) are old
two modem people that use to call in with a mode.

It's all about history for me and better times.

Agreed

VBBS had many things the some of the others didn't for a while.
I just hate Rolands fido setup for that matter all FTN setups
but it was kewl at the time. Look at Wildcat WinServer one guy
modded a app to look just like VBBS.

It was good at the time and I still run it for memory sake.

A step back in time.

I must state though I wish I had a back up of my Renegade setup
though, something ruined a disk or two.

I never messed around with VBBS.

In the early 90's only played around with Searchlight, Wildcat, TBBS, the demo copy of MajorBBS 6.1 or 6.2.

None of them replaced Renegade...

Never played with Search Light, TBBS and I did World Group and MajorBBS
and thought they sucked.

Started out with TAG, VBBS Renegade and Wildcat Winserver but always missed
Renegade. But, but back in the day Renegade had a lot more mods then today.
I'd give anything to see someone pick up retooling the mods to todays
standard database.

I do see T.J doing some mod work and that is kewl to me, I only wish
more would do the same.

Long live Renegade!

A lot of those old mods are internal to RG now ... so 60% of them really are no use, but there are a couple I would like to see, FileDude, CDRMail, etc.

That Cdrmail was an absolute overrated piece of shit with an author that had a quite an attitude about him. Very first memory of an author that I politely reported a bug and he politely told me to F off. Oh but next week: A bug fix.

I was very happy and pleased to hear he dropped off the face of the earth. If only the same wonderful fate would happen to some in Fidonet my smile would need to be surgically removed.

Avoid Cdrmail, a solution to a nonexistant problem.

Thanks, the two I remember I liked was a chat mod that gave
all kinds of options and a user list that only gave a ansi
list of all your users nothing more other then a list.

FileDude was a file base manager, and CDRMail was a dude that named a renemail clone after himself.

I've been running mine since the mid 90s. We still have VirtualNet running with a few folks still posting but the FTN setup for Fido is somewhat sketchy

I ran VBBS back in the 90's used to love that system. I dug it out recently to see if I could get it back up & running but wasnt able to at the time. (Can't remember why).

... Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
