[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp


THE FOURTH (FIFTH? IVE LOST COUNT) ANNUAL YOSBBS RED DRAGON BEATDOWN AND INN PUA STRUT-OFF

FEATURES:
  • awesome security, telnet only + the sysop can see your password
  • 25 year old bbs games that have primarily nostalgic replay value!
  • messaging systems that rely on ridiculous jank
  • totally not rigged polls and votes - add your own question!

address: bbs.yospos.net
port: 219

Suggested terminal: http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/

for the larval yosposters, this is an annual thing we do. I am old and think technology peaked in 1993, so we bring this back once a year and beat the poo poo out of each other.


the main event:



([D]oors from the main menu)

LoRD is a cheesy basic role playing game that started out as a dating sim and then seth able added the whole fight thing to not be a total goonlord that pretty much dominated the dialup bulletin board scene in the early to mid 90s. seriously, EVERYBODY online played it. We traditionally run a stock game or two, but the first game in the list is always hacked by our trusty sysops and co-sysops, and is full of dangerous yosposters who will cut you down in the blink of an eye! take your chances versus Greater Shaggar, or try to dodge Triple Sulk's devastating attacks.

[T]ech

this year we dumped Synchronet. though its an ok bbs software, I don't have windows VMs available right now due to the Hausbus saga, and needed to host this on a lumicks. Synchronet does have source available, but all my builds had really bad random delays on login and I didn't feel like debugging C code. So, I found Mystic BBS. This purports to be open source, has a much saner config system than the old synchronet trash, and more importantly, works. sadly i cant actually find the source but i am trying to get ahold of the dude.

future styles: ENTER yosbbs 3.0

Mystic's days are numbered because i found x\84. It's a modern package that is 100% python (hence my recent py tear), and is completely hackable. this is important because on YOSBBS 3.0, you will be able to browse and post on YOSPOS.



(i may do a login page, but right now it just has a couple text fields for you to paste your SA cookies into)


So, for now, play LoRD at bbs.yospos.net port 219, have fun, post a stupid flame, and we will goof off with the other poo poo on the side. depending on popularity it may be out in a few days or week or so.

FAQ:

HALP WHAT IS THIS MANDATORY NEW USER FEEDBACK

back in the day sysops wanted to hear from people that signed up and created accounts. i'll remove it later i guess but for now just say hello, hit escape and S



--

that's about it for now. I'm going to give the current players 12 hours or so, and you should log in and get your bbs account/pass set up (and if you've never played LoRD go ahead and poke around and inevitably die), because at 08 OCT 2014, 00:00:00 UTC (or thereabouts) we are resetting the game, and you all may go hog fuckin' wild.

Jonny, for now can you make it so it doesn't kick us out after a little while of inactivity? or is that a setting of my own?
