Ah yes, my very first post. Now my question is does Sex still sell. I've recently read a cheap Marketing book, and according to this book, the word "Sex" sells.Well my blog is not about sex, but about developing a BBS software. Most of you have probably never heard of a BBS. That's okay, since it's an era long forgotten about.
BBS is an acronym for Bulletin Board System.
A computer that allowed users to dial-up and connect from remote computers and acted as a central meeting place to chat or play games. The Internet has largely replaced the BBS. BBSes were generally run from someones home PC that had a few phone lines hooked up to it.rd System.
I wish I would have started this blog years ago, perhaps some of you may have helped us in the making. After reading this post, if you feel like spending some time exploring this fabulous script, we welcome you to do so and drop us a line or two giving us feedback on how to improve it.
We've recently added a door (Online Game) called Legend of the Green Dragon also known in the late 80's as LORD or Legend of the Red Dragon. It's a text based game. Careful, it's addictive.
This project started in 1988 as project Enigma. The code base was Forum III and the programming language "Turbo Pascal". It has been re-written since, we've adapted it to the web using Perls for the server and Visual C to allow the SysOp(System Operator) to have full control over his BBS.
We are now facing a couple of road blocks. The main one is our graphic design capabilities. As everyone knows, a good programmer is a terrible designer. If you are a talented graphic designer and which to donate some of your skills, please drop me a line. Since the BBS has drained our pockets over the years, we can't offer you much compensation, but we can offer to display your name in the documentation, BBS history and on some of your menus (if not all of them).
I truly hope to meet some of you on our BBS and get to know everyone.
Come try E-BBS - http://www.scodenet.com/
Until my next post.
