Agree with that, I would have email validation as well as Admin validation and not let postings in every forum untill validated, would be more work but will clean up the garbage. Even email validation with a Mod previewing postings first.

Laughing I don't know why I didn't think of that!

Agreed ...

computerhavok

This is a nice idea.

Why RealBASIC instead of Java? Java's great, it's powerful, portable, and has lots of code behind it already.

Hello Rick

I, laughing know I don't want to get into a debate with you on Java being you most likely know more about it. But to me it is slow and a good example of ...

Spammers are running wild on this board. Rick, isn't there some thing you can do to get these from posting?

Agreed!

Banning the IP or something :!:

Laughing, if I wanted porn I'd go look for it, (IF) is the big statement though.

When here though, I want to read subjects on MajorBBS or ...

Just trying to help, what little I can!

computerhavok

It works as a single EXE, no need to plugin any webserver. It's written in RealBasic (www.realbasic.com) and it's much faster than PHP and ASP as they are not interpreted languages, compile to native machine code.

Confused here, then it as a telent port and a web server port or just telenet?

I ...

computerhavok

The good point is that it will make very easy to adapt existing modules to RealBasic, and will be far easier to develop new ones than in C code.

Wow. sweet!

I'd be interested in trying your project out myself, what kind of web server do you plan to be able to use with it? ( Apache ...

Hello Rick

You may have all ready thought about this, but I was wondering if you have?

One, how about putting your games on bbsfiles.com or two, just your name as a programmer that is still updating games for a BBS.

Like I said, just a thought.

Don't hold your breath, but I'm working on it!

computerhavok

Actually, Worldgroup is not trademarkable as there was a software product called that that predated Galacticomm's application. Further, there's a company called that.

I definitely favor a name change.

Laughing we may not ever aggree on anything but this one we will :idea:

Now it's up to you, I ...

computerhavok

I think the software name WorldGroup is cool and all, but come on...MajorBBS just sounds awsome in a major way (pun intended).

Just my two cents.

I'll agree!

But Rick do you have the rights to Major also?

That would most likely split up all the people between WG and MajorBBS Brand name ...

computerhavok

Well... it could. It's just a matter of developing a good SSO routine for Worldgroup.

Rick if you would this should be moved to General Discussion or Support Community or something, not this one, I don't know how I started this here!

But if you go to one of my BBS'S and look over Steves work ...
