C*Base like webbs

Hi mates,

you probably have heard of the web-bbs, me,Jazzcat,Uzzy,Jucke,Macx and Taper is working on.. Now, we somehow got a major problem.

while Jazzcat,Macx,Jucke and Taper wants to have a real C*Base Emulation, including Key Events (means no mouse clicks etc) and stuff, wich means that we have to use Javascript, me and Uzzy will keep the board core PHP without any Javascript, just like Spankerz Heaven was (yep: i know it was made in Perl.. ).

So i'd like to knnow, what counts more.. having a real c*base clone with almost allfunktion, wich probably will have serious Browser and Os problems since it is build with Javascript/PHP, or just the way like SH used to be.. just with heaps of c/g graphics and mouse-click ;).

i'd like to know what you think! ..

my humble opinion is, that i dislike the idea of making a almost 100% clone emulation of a c64 c*base bbs ... and i couldn't believe that it also will emulate the feelings, you once has got, when you called a c-64 BBS... but anyway, i am open for everthing.

my 2Eurocent.

Jazzcat: and when someone else is already online on the emulated bbs you should hear a digitized beep-beep-beep busy tone, in bad quality like calling via mci or blue boxing. ;) actually this leads to a problem. far more people will try to access this site than even the most visited bbs back then, so users will hardly get connection. 8(

Quote: All this BBS nostalgia has me wondering: Does anybody have links to C64 BBS scene web sites? I'm looking for histories on old boards, screen shots, text logs, graphics, old BBS demos/intros, etc. Yup, I know about the C64 BBS archive, but that's just a collection of BBS programs.

There's quite a lot about the old PC BBS scene but not much about the C64. I'd love to learn more about the old long scene BBSs I could never call because of the long distance charges. All I knew about them was in cracktros.

a few years ago i uploaded some lores bbs gfx onto Gangsta's Paradise, they should be in dirs like F4CG, Chromance, 2nd Dimension, cant remember exactly

to answer on the original question, i wouldn't have any problems with javascript. in fact it's a common thing these days and i'm prolly not paranoid enough to turn it off.

i never called a c*base board, as i never owned a modem for my c64; guess i just belong to the people that would just be interested in what it looks and acts like.

Hey, you folks...

Don't know if you have noticed, but why go for a standard Java-scripted Web-BBS with C/G graphics when there suddenly is a possibility to do the thing for real? Unless you didn't know, Adam Dunkels (aka. Trident/Active) have made the communication between the C-64 and the net less a program with his new uIP-stack and Ethernet-cart. With some help from some gurus of respective area there would be easy to enable C-Base to communicate with the net. People which should be contacted to enable this would probably be Tao and Trident for writing/adapting the protocol to C-Base and to adapt a terminalprogram to work with the modded C-Base.

To sum it up; much of the work on this is allready completed with Tridents solution. Why not use it to create a REAL C-64 BBS, communicating through the web? What do you folks think?

I like it. Shouldn't be too hard to impliment, either. I remember that certain versions of Image had some kind of internet email function, so one could assume it can be done with C*Base. And I know that Pegasus/RPG was working on some kind of C64 server system, I believe using the ethernet cart. I'm not entirely sure how it was to be implimented... but it could definitely be interesting.
