I wonder. Is it a good idea to publish FsxNET Archive on World Wide Wait? I just went that path:
http://infolinka.vzdelavani.eu/fsxnet
But I want to know whether there is anyone who wouldn't like to see it.
I can deleted it just right immediately. I didn't submit it to any search engine nor it's finished.

It is not a good idea. You're taking a consolidated small network of interconnected message systems, each with authentication requirements,
and some modicum of a private community, and you're gating it out to the open internet.
I think doing this and asking later if it's cool is pretty aggressive.

I'd advocate for a "No gating to the open internet" type of rule moving forward.
I couldn't agree anymore with you. This was a bad move and I ask that shinobi immediately take that site down.
Shinobi should delete the page right away! And as mean as this may sound so should your access to this network because of this. Just my opinion.
He is no longer welcome on the irc network that we've formed. After this move he's probably capturing everythng on there and gating it to the internet.

I think Avon could put this somewhere in the infopack.
One thought I had was should we have an echomail area(s) that are fine to be (for want of a better word) gated to the public HTML / Usenet newsgroups / othernets etc. At least that way people posting in that space would do so knowingly.
My BBS is available by telnet / rlogin / ssh / www / ftp / gopher and a couple others I forget. ;)
It's meant to be accessible by various means not to step on anyones
toes. I hope I haven't done that.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. From my point of view
that is *not* going to happen nor necessary.

Ouch, that's harsh IMHO. Not something I think is warranted nor
likely accurate.

I'm open to something like this but I'd like to see more discussion between folks about this topic before I settle on any making changes,
if any changes are indeed made.

That's pretty standard with Synchronet. :)

No I don't think you have, it's never been expressly stated that echomail posted in this network is not to be made available via any of the above.
Indeed as you pointed out in fsx_gen in the case of Synchronet, sysops running the web server options can offer stock public access views available to any interested Internet connected party that wants to read things. e.g. https://goo.gl/pyy1B9
At play here is the fact that we have various BBS software available offering people different ways of accessing the content of a BBS system. Nothing wrong in that at all. What's interesting in the above example (and not wanting to pick on Sneaky here but his was the first system I could think of) is that in this case it's not a requirement to be a logged in user of the BBS in order to access the content but rather an unlogged in user can do so.
In my case I also offer a 'guest' login at Agency BBS so I offer something similar but it's done via a telnet connection or HtmlTerm / FTelnet
enabled web interface, not as a generated (and more spider index crawler bot friendly) HTML page.

This is a common echo rule in fidonet for much of the same reasons.

I don't really like the idea of the discussion being indexed by google. I'd rather keep BBS chat on BBSes.

I have now made the Guest on my BBS lvl 30 so they get very little, but they do get to see what is there, but not read anything. The web
interface will now only show Guest the Sysop Notices Area.
If someone takes the time to Register and get lvl 40 access they will
See And read Dove net, FidoNet and UseNet, but not FSX NET.
Once I Validate them to Lvl 50 they can Read and Write to their hearts content.

Yeah, that's just what it looks like. I am replying from the web
interface of my BBS now. As a guest user I don't have the option to
reply or post new but once I log on I do.
A user on the web interface could also create an account on the BBS
from there and post if they wanted to.
Another time a web interface is useful is when you are visiting
somewhere and have no access to a terminal you can almost always access the web.

That's handy too.. I used the guest account on your BBS not to long ago when I couldn't remember my password.. :)
