[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
TELNET to bbs.yospos.net

For best experience, download and use SyncTerm: https://syncterm.bbsdev.net/
literally nothing seems to handle ANSI properly ityool 2019 besides that, so things will look hosed up if you just do shell telnet or whatever.


---------------------


for those young whippersnappers that just showed up recently, we used to do this every fall when the weather got cold and we got stuck inside and depressed and nostalgic

welcome to YBBSPOS



it is a telnet bbs running on an extra computer here

it has message foram



we are also a member of a store-and-forward network called DOVE-Net. please do not get us banned. just enjoy hanging out with intense neckbeards on other boards



we have some games!


(i will add more shortly if there is interest. Yes, that's tradewars)



play some sokoban



or how about some ANSI fishing?

there's an ANSI art bathroom wall that you can draw on (and multiple ppl can draw at the same time)



you can also pick a little ansi avatar



OR make your own!






i look forward to us having fun on here! Synchronet has continued to improve lately, and one super exciting thing is that the backend is all Javascript now. Most of those games are JS and you can write your own JS modules to do basically anything. if u want to goof with code i will be happy to have your help writing stupid things.

I'm going to break out TheDraw and get some sick ANSIs up and poo poo. also there is a new format that Syncterm supports called Xbin that lets you do high res pics. I don't know much about it but we can learn together!



Part of the magic of bbses is figuring out how they work so i encourage you to go play. DOVE-NET syncs every six hours.

Oh also this is 1998 security model and THE SYSOPS CAN READ YOUR PLAINTEXT PASSWORD. I'm being full disclosure here. don't reuse a loving password here pls and thx

Maintenance will be when it's dead if i can. You may see things randomly changing between logins, that's me stealth modding the code.
If it takes off and people have fun, i may migrate it to a server 2012 VPS and we'll have cloud bbs going on in case my power goes out or whatever. i dont mind paying eight bucks a month for a lovely instance for this for a while.

let's gooooooooooo

the ansi art has a lot of question marks but it’s otherwise surprisingly navigable
