I have created a server for the BBS Scene on Discord: https://discord.gg/nTcDnYAxNj

I also have one on Stoat: https://stt.gg/JncQ3s4Y

Also, is anyone else getting an error when they start SyncTERM about not being able to connect to the SyncTERM BBS List?

Thanks Niter, the only thing besides my server that would come up when I searched for BBS on either Discrod or Disboard where mostly Bleach related in some way.

Is this idea of a BBS related discord server something to bring people over from www into BBSs? I enjoy chatting *right in* a BBS rather than Discord.

I'm not.. And I'm not sure what that error means - The SyncTerm BBS list is stored locally (in a subdirectory from your user directory), so it's not something that has to be connected to. Unless it's referring to something else..?

I've actually gotten several new users from advertising on Discord and Stoat. Some of them that have never used a BBS before and are now enjoying the old Door Games. One of them is in love with DoorMUD.

I don't know, it brings up my address book just fine. I think it's trying to connect to the online list to update or something. I don't know. In all the years I've been using SyncTERM this is something I've only started seeing in like the last week or so.

I'll try to remember to get a screen cap next time and share it.

Probably because one of the hashtags I use is #Retro and these people are looking for retro and #preinternet things and checking them out.

There are people I know from BBSing who use Discord for communications that I'm not connected to on Facebook. And a couple who run BBS-specific Discord servers with chat channels.

I don't but, if I were to do so, one reason might be to try to get
BBS-curious people connected to actual BBSes.

I think I might have found it.

Under SyncTERM Settings on the right side, there's a 'Web Lists' option. Mine is blank when I go in there but maybe it's coming from that if there's an invalid/bad URL listed there.

Mine has the default: http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/syncterm.lst

This was what was in there by default, I have never touched it. But I will try deleting it.

Removed that link and no more error. So I'm guessing that that site is no longer valid.
