How about having a bbs section here
I think BBS's should have a place here as they do had a lot to do with the scene and its associated history.
SHould they be added to the Seach CSDB as BBS's!

This was covered in a thread long ago ... and everyone agreed back then. Perff was asked about it a few times after and never really seemed to understand it's importance to the scene.
Maybe this time?

As an NTSCer, I would just like to add to the chorus and perhaps mention that the importance of BBSes to the scene here in the states and Canada was HUGE. I'd love to see them documented.

It would be nice if I didn't have to keep adding this sort of info to the Trivia instead of the database ---
Boards:
Backdoor [HQ] (901)
The Undiscovered Country (201)
The Black Genesis (9147356653)
Holiday Inn Cambodia [HQ] (5106898893)
Virtual Reality [HQ] (505) (The Ruling Company)
Infectious (4198853857) (Chromance)

bbs name
- short name (example would be Garden of Eden was also routinely called GoE)
phone number(s)
sysop(s)
- co-sysop(s)
group(s)
- headquarter or support?
country? dunno if that's all that important
Also, in the previous thread some wanted to attach themselves as a user of the bbs. I don't think that is important, but maybe others do.

A tagline stating if the BBS was Warez, H/P or local lamers should be added. |

Rough, I think that that would be something to add in the comments. |

well everything we think of now, can be fit in the database, so we dont have to use the comments for basic classification data...
how would you only display H/P boards, if it was only stated in the comments!? |

you mean trivia.
also, bbses were hqs for multiple groups over time, much the same as a scener being member of multiple groups.
boards had 0-many known numbers over time
boards had 0-many sysops over time
boards had 0-many cosysops over time
boards had 0-many users over time
(but probably a little bit of overkill, but sysop and numbers is a must)
city or country would be nice to have in the db
theres most probably more to specify |

There were many great boards in 64 history.
Wild Wares
The Forum
The Disc Shoppe
And many after that. They all do deserve their memory.

I'm off for vacation in a few days, and will first be back next weekend, but if you by then have a clear definition on what fields and relations a bbs needs, and sum it up clearly, I would be happy to start coding then.
I see you are already on the way to that. :)
(celtic is right - I know almost nothing about bbs's :( ) |

I guess it could basically be treated the same way as a scener. That way you can connect the board (almost as member of) certain groups for certain periods of time. If the board changed name it would be like adding a new handle to a scener. I guess the possibility to link the board to its sysop(s) would be good as well. |

IP-address(es) for boards that have/had those should also be added. |
