The Major BBS Forums

This is an old thread, but I don't recommend WG3.3. It was started by Galacticomm, but never fully finished or tested. It was released by the remains which wasn't even a legitimate venture (and still isn't) and has some console freeze and other bugs with it.

Remind me the error and reproduction please, I'll get this on schedule

I'm not sure we have the source code to MjrFIDO either. There was also DBSMail which was better because it allowed Fido tossing into the Forums while the BBS was up - it added an autosense routine for Fido and acted as a FTN mailer too (like Binkley or Frontdoor)

We lost it when the server moved and the backup for some reason wasn't recoverable and it's just so m...

The API in MajorBBS 10 is still a programmatic API, not a RPC type API. We do want to figure out REST (bi-directional!) of course, but right now the focus is the core platform as-is.

The good news is that we do have the source to it, despite not the copyright. So we will be able to port it up to the later builds of MBBS.
