A small site for those that are into watch and clock collecting, repairs and building to get together to discuss their love of timekeeping instrumentation.
Topics of interest range from sundials, water clocks up to the latest smart watches.
With CF (and I think even NameSilo when I was with them) you have to specifically disable it as it was a default offering (no additional charge) except on a few specific domains where it is prohibited (the .US being one of them).
But there is still a significant number of users that would argue that point, especially when considering the niche.
The question remains... are there enough of us old shits still playing on the internet that might want to "flash back" to our origins?
Personally.. I would have no issues with...
Cellular/mobile "gaming" will quickly argue that point.
There are other offerings/ability beyond flash. Could it involve downloading bespoke code to use? Sure.. but where is the pursuit of that aspect?
Remember... those pursuits back then were not that much different than the "needs" of today...
But what was that reason?
Was it because it was "too much trouble to implement" and providers stopped offering that ability or because users didn't want to use it. I would argue that it was the former.
Hell, look at the current impact of gaming on phones. I'd argue once more it was more the...
It's really not hard to evolve from 1980's tech. The sad thing is, several things offered via BBS sites cannot be easily duplicated on current sites.
Hell, way back then we had a form of "federation" that allowed interaction on sites across the world from one site to another without logging...
A web browser tab screenshot that allows access to an old fashioned BBS from a good old fashioned browser and not a telnet app/program.
It's what you see when you click on that internet link above it. ;)
You can either use it that way, or use the Home/Forum/Files links.
When logged in...
As an example - and yes, it's still being played with as I learn it.

If you notice, you can actually log in from the web using using telnet link.
If there was "no interest", it's doubtful that the developers would continue to code for it.
That's like asking why folks will set up ham radios when a cell phone can do more. ;)
Synchronet, which I am currently playing with appears to also have a built in web server for it, so it may be...
Gaining new knowledge is never a waste of time, especially when it can be used to generate content for a site.
I am debating between Synchronet BBS and Mystic BBS after I'm through playing with WWIV. I had forgotten why I disliked WWIV so much during the BBS days and why I settled on Maximus/2...
Sure... let's give it a try. I like to go back to my roots!
So, I grabbed a new VPS from Contabo (they are cheap and easily spun up) to give a try at running an old fashioned BBS via the Internet.
Currently I'm playing with WWIV, which back in the day was one of the "big" paid offerings. No...
I'd love to get it at that price now. Last one I purchased was $99.99 (about 2 years ago), but now the ones I have seen in the recent past are around $130.
Our local Zipp's had a few different bottles in on their "hard to find" aisle that they charge appropriately for.
Since it is a 4 times a...
Yes, it can be a hassle to set up on a VPS or dedicated server (can't comment on shared since I don't use that option).
But if you do not have IPv6 configured on your site, you may be missing visitors. The exception will be if you use CloudFlare because you can map IPv6 inbound to an IPv4...
As the admin/staff of a site, I agree, you have a duty to try to help. And that CAN be by simply putting a link for the user to search with the query already done and encouraging that user to actually do research themselves instead of expecting to have it handed to them on a platter.
And...
If it is a question that I have seen asked over and over and over and answered over and over and over, then yes, I have no problems with telling someone to perform a search for it. I will also mention that it has been asked and answered numerous times.
Is that talking down? Some may think so...
CentMin is far from stuck on "old offerings".
That reference was based upon Apache and even nginx and some peoples reliance of modsecurity. Now more and more people are wanting you to pay them money for rulesets.
It is no longer officially supported for nginx (and I really don't care a whit...
It does offer some protections... but you can get similar from any WAF.
For nginx, it is no longer supported natively "offically".
It helps prevent layer 7 attacks and a few other things, but it is a real pain in the ass to deal with. If you are using CloudFlare and have their WAF enabled, you...
