I wonder if anyone would be interested in taking some of these long running topics over to a robust discussion forum. Heck, if there were some interest I have a decent amount of server space on a reseller account I play with. Maybe I’ll look into some open source discussion forums just for some of these topics. If there’s interest. I looked at a...

ChuckV: Your name is your real name, which is why duplicates are permitted as people do have the same name as each other on occasion. I just put tcg550 as my name and handle, there’s no way I’m using my real name on a platform that may accidentally or intentionally let my info out there. It appears as they use people’s names in email...

gatto: you will have to create a substack account. you can use the same name and avatar you used here, but it will be a separate account from yours here.

I initially came to BB for the odd stuff - at the time it was even a forbidden site at my job! I stayed for the experience of sharing comments with like minded people. I’m the epitome of the middle age cis white guy, and so are most of my friends and coworkers. The BBS has given me the opportunity to interact, albeit remotely...

Rejoice? Really? Sigh. Bar closing of the BBS entirely, this is probably the worst case scenario here. By paywalling off the BBS you’ll lose a LOT of commenters here, so you’re starting things out by asking us to pay for a greatly reduced community. Then there’s the choice of substack. Given thier links to the far right and the sensibilities of many of the...

Look, before I say goodbye for good, or subscribe, I do want to say this is the one social media I have felt most at home in. And I do feel this is a good case of “if you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.” Yeah, Substack has a racist/fascist problem. It subtracts from my experience reading Heather Cox...

I haven’t been posting much recently, but it was still my favourite online community. I don’t believe it will be anything like this on Substack, and it’s sad to see it end. I wouldn’t mind paying, but killing off BBS means that it will not be worth paying for, and supporting platform such as Substack would feel unethical. Thanks to all the wonderful people...

Flanker7: (fyi, whoever it is is using the patio door to get in and out) And then what? Through the hinged full-length looking glass in the bathroom? The TV wall which is operated through a combination of buttons on the remote? By going through the back of the wardrobe and avoiding the fauns, lions and witches? Through the wall between platforms 9 and 10?
