Added Node 1/177 Goosenet BBS (GER) welcome back to sysop Michael Geller
aka Goose who is based in Nuremberg, Germany. Goose is
running a Mystic BBS you can reach his system (just getting set up now) by heading to bbs.nifty5fty.com
ports 22 and 23 Welcome back Goose to the scene. :)
Apparently I got back in, in the nick of time. LOL :-)

Hello Goose!
Welcome back to fsxNet! =)
Best regards

thanks, after rejoining fsxnet, i feel better :)
Now its time, to get things done, around my BBS and make it unique :)
Yes, that's always a good thing to strive for!Yes, its not as easy for me but i think i get this done.
I'm still in the phase of getting everything to run correctly (and tostep at a time... =)
work somewhat like RemoteAccess used to do in the 90s), but slowly
getting there. Takes some time, but one

Sounds intressting for me. Keep me in mind.
Are people actually being removed because the BBS itself stops
responding or is it due to low activity from that BBS?
thanks. SSH Port is 2222.

The BBS is no longer polling to collect held packets or is unreachable, when you get 45+ worth of stuff and in the case of NET 4 there we're systems 200+ days inactive, then it's time to prune.
Thats good to know. I'm on here reading daily but don't always post. I was a bit worried there :D

It's all good, it's just when a HUB ends up with weeks and weeks of held files that it can't deliver and/or the BBS node is not polling to
collect them, you end up drawing a line around the 45+ day mark to opt
to delete the node from a HUB / nodelist and recover the HDD space.
...and now I just realized that, thinking of things that are kinda
active, but not compared to the number of BBSs, I'm posting this when I could be at the weekly Meatup...
I've never seen you at the meet up, and I try to be there every week if
I can. I tend to also be working so I miss a lot but throw in what I
can. Being the Pillar of the community you are it would be like having a celebrity show up.
I don't get any new messages on my own BBS, but I check the fsxNet messages almost daily. All I get on my BBS is bots and losers trying to log on as "system" or "root." About 100% of my traffic is people who are trying to crash my board.
Since these bots are looking for servers to exploit, and don't at all
care about BBSs. I'm wondering what level of bot makers even _think_
about BBS servers. Talk about a niche market, and a niche market where,

I think that's probably true for almost all of us -- at the very least anyone running on port 23.

I wrote a "poor man's honeypot" in some Python awhile back which
simulated a Login and Password prompt.
I do get regular callers to the BBS but I guess I'm a bit of an 'old timer' now? Dunno. I know I feel I'm an old timer at work now - sigh :)

Not really sure what point that the makes the BBS a bit of an "old
timer", but not sure how long I expected it to wind up being.

Make your board what you like as you will be its most active user.

How do you change the incoming port for your BBS from 23 to something else? I would be interested in doing that.

Go into Servers -> Configure Servers -> Terminal (TELNET), and then set the port to the desired port to use.
