Someone mentioned that there used to be a YOSPOS BBS in the Telehack thread recently, and I think it's a pretty cool idea. I've been on a few BBSes before, and considered setting my own up, but that'd be a huge pain in the rear end of renting a VPS to run it off while having no income, and then finding someone to do all the art for it (because gently caress trying to do that myself, I'm bad enough at regular art). So, I guess I'm making this thread to draw attention to it, maybe someone else'll feel like setting one up, maybe I'll manage to get around to setting one up, who knows.

personally trying to figure out how to change the appearance of the data that the bbs software puts in your ANSI art like it's represented in the .ANS files as %XM1 for example, but... i have no idea how to change what that looks like, or how to determine what tag represents what data blegh

since the general bbs scene will probably find it as everyone's BBS address is advertised in the MRC chat, i made a goon group to determine who is and isnt a goon considering making a YOSPOS group too in case anyone from other boards feels like joining but i figured id ask here first to see how elitist you want me to be about it

nah lets stick with enigma i dont wanna switch poo poo up just as im getting the hang of it i just need to figure out how to change the appearance of MCI codes (if you log in now you'll notice the 'last callers' list has a black background instead of matching the art i made) and also how to set up doors - like 'bargame' in drive_c for example
