    speaking of files, a guy posted an attempt at grabbing all of archives.thebbs.org. with just looking a little i see it's missing some that are on the site now.

    anyways, as i said before whats good about that site is you can list the descriptions and download the files.

    i uploaded it to vert.

    there are a lot of files, but it may not be the entire arc

    Okay, I read backwards. You pulled the bbsarchives.zip file from archives.thebbs.org and it was almost 2GB. I doubt that's everything. Is it? Don't get me wrong, if it has everything from the past, I'm down to host the whole damn thing. :)

    no that's not what happend.
    some guy posted on reddit and then deleted the post.
    it's on the internet archive.

    read this:

    + it's nothing special and most people have these files
    + it's not the entire collection of files. i've spoken to pcmike and he has more than a measly 1.8gigs it doesn't have "everything from the past"

    + there was someone who posted something like this years ago and this just might be something someone played with and added to.

    it's nothing impressive and there's nothing in there that nobody else has.
    it doesnt need to be hosted someplace. please dont be a dickhead and put a site up hosting it. someone already did that with the bbsfiles.com siterip i posted.

    i can understand why pcmike stopped letting people download all of his stuff via ftp. dickheads would just grab it all and put up their own site and not give credit.

    if you want files to download and then host on your own, just go to cd.textfiles.com and grab a bunch of junk. and download some simtelnet stuff.
    you'll have more old stuff than this little archive.

    now i see that there's one from april that says this:

    "Archive of the archives at thebbs.org

    The only missing files were 404s are the source.

    Thanks to jack phlash for downloading the second have of the archive!
    Addeddate 2022-04-09 00:08:14
    Identifier archives_thebbs_org
    Scanner Internet Archive HTML5 Uploader 1.6.4"

    now i know phlash had that shit archive i was talking about.

    and also this shindakun guy uploaded the bbsfiles one to archive.org

    so this archives.thebbs.org rip is probably just someone taking files combining with the old .zip and making this rip look legit.

    so here's the april copy and the june copy of the stuff on archive.org
    claiming to be from archives.thebbs.org

    so looks like someone has been renaming stuff and adding to it.
    i probably have the original partial file archive from 10+ years ago someplace. --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux

    Don't worry, I have no intention of being a dickhead. I deal with enough of those elsewhere in life.

    i can understand why pcmike stopped letting people download all of his stuff via ftp. dickheads would just grab it all and put up their own site and not give credit.

    One of my greatest petpeaves is not giving attribution where it is needed.

    if you want files to download and then host on your own, just go to cd.textfiles.com and grab a bunch of junk. and download some simtelnet stuff. you'll have more old stuff than this little archive.

    Good suggestion. I've got a couple NVMe drives just dying to be filled. LOL
