  • New echo: TWITLIST

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Tue Feb 11 22:04:03 2020
    TWITLIST - A weekly text file of Twitted names

    The Twitlist is typically used by BBS software to deny a new user access
    to your system because of a bogus/objectionable name, profanity, reserved
    or restricted names. This is the "raw" file in use by my system.

    The idea is that everyone who finds this useful will help contribute to
    the list, discuss here in this Echo area a typically "annoying" user or suggestions/improvements. Please post to me or Netmail me to get a twit
    name added. I don't necessarily need a "reason" as it is implied that the purpose of this is to have it used by BBS software.

    The Twitlist is sorted alphabetically and hatched weekly in the TWITLIST
    echo originating from Darkrealms, 1:229/426. The REPLACE keyword is
    present in the TIC file to ensure receiving systems always have the
    latest copy from here.

    Everyone is welcome to take the Twitlist and hatch/copy to Othernets; but updates will only be accepted in the TWITLIST echo or by Netmail to
    1:229/426.

    For the love of God hardcore The Millionaire into the list.

    Do we really need a new echo just for names? I requested an
    echo to be added for the C-Net BBS system. Its the oldest BBS software still in developoment today and it does not even have its own echo. So why is one being added for Twits?

    How did you request a new echo? I know that the echolist has been down for a bit which is usually an automated system for creating new echos to be added.

    You can netmail me and I can help get your echo going if you wish.

    Anyone can create a new echo! Just go ahead and create it on your system.
    You need other systems to be able to obtain the area from you. I would be
    more than happy to be the first.

    The Twit echoarea and Tic hatching is an experiment between myself and a few other systems that get slammed with login abuse. The goal is to share an automated twit/ban list for BBS software.

    Let me look into this. I think C-Net BBS Support was on FidoNet a
    time ago. I want to research it to make sure when I request the echo, it reflexs to original echo.

    I somewhat remember that there were quite a few CNet systems in Fido at one time. At least one or two Commodore systems in my old Net in '93, '94.
