    From Daniel@3:770/3 to All on Monday, January 09, 2023 17:11:02
    Hey folks,

    I've been a bbs user for a long time but now, finally, working toward
    launching my own board. It's been a long time coming, but now that a few
    days have passed since I started a VM and got initial configuration
    past, I'm now realizing that I have much to learn.

    Hope that I can get some advice as I go along. I will be reading
    through the newsgroup as well as the echoes.

    I used to be a daily user of digitaldistortionbbs. After a few years of
    that, I've been on Bottomless Abyss hanging in MRC.

    The last few months, I've been creating some scripts that'll be used to supplement my board as I build it up.

    Creating ANSI is also quite time consuming since I have the artistic
    talent of an art school flunkie.

    Anyhoo, that's it for now.

    Hello Daniel,

    I've been a bbs user for a long time but now, finally, working toward launching my own board. It's been a long time coming, but now that a
    few days have passed since I started a VM and got initial
    configuration past, I'm now realizing that I have much to learn.

    That's awesome to hear, I hope you enjoy it. I have been enjoying it for quite a few years now. :)

    Hope that I can get some advice as I go along. I will be reading
    through the newsgroup as well as the echoes.

    By all means, if you have questions post them. There are many here who well help you along, if we can.

    I was a big time BBS user myself. I don't get much time to step away from my own BBS but I have been known to look up different BBSs at times.

    The last few months, I've been creating some scripts that'll be used
    to supplement my board as I build it up.

    Creating ANSI is also quite time consuming since I have the artistic talent of an art school flunkie.

    I am much the same. I love the look that some have done with ansi. While I understand ansi and how to use it, I am not artist in any way and can't create ansi screens myself.

    Ttyl :-),
