Adding A BBS Section...

There have been discussions in the forums, in the past, about adding a BBS section to the CSDb. Perff told me that he would consider adding a BBS section when he finds the time. He does not know much about the great boards that supported the 64. For
such a section to be added, we all must describe more about it.
Detailed information is needed about BBSs, for this to happen. Does anyone have any ideas?

Perff: thanks for fixing the bug!

Needed:

++ath - comments option
++ath - screenshot option
++ath - interconnected entry option (previous BBS name, current BBS name)

I was eager to see all the new bbs entries that people have added recently and currently the only way to do that is to look at the list of newly added boards. It would help greatly if the Browse section had a bbs option.
Looking in the browse section, there was an option for bbs buffers and bbs graphics. The bbs graphics list and buffers are empty. There are people who posted about having a collection of buffers. Please upload them! The bulletin boards were such a huge part of the scene and having old buffers on here would add a rich part of 64 scene history, not to mention bring back alot of memories. Those were the days!

I can second that. Some buffers would be fun. I have a couples still on disks as well.

(This is the part where I still request a Win-based tool to cut/paste SEQ files with C/G support) :)

and i still have no idea how that would work =D

a tool that converts c/g to actual images would be fairly easy to do though...

Agreed. We need a editable buffer tool. I've been sreaming about this for years, but have not been able to find one. I used to buffer alot of material, and found a cool tool in an old terminal called Fritzterm. It was only 40 blks, but would support reu's and you could cut and paste via the joystick. The only drawback was it was ascii only. I managed to edit out many c/g graphics, but came into problems when trying to edit out many of the c/g animations, and some other graphics. If anyone has fritzterm, check it out. If something like that could be modified to be editable, that would be great. I also spoke with The Wiz about adding the editing functions to Dirmaster, so maybe that is another option. I'll see about uploading my c/g collection. I've got it .d64'd so I should be able to up it this week.

I wonder what qualify as user. I called some BBS maybe just 4 or 5 times in my life, whereas others quite regularly.

One more suggestion:

For the sake of speed, I would recommend to list the BBS' of a group closer to the top, not at the end after all the releases....
