The Major BBS Forums (Archive)

I'm not sure what I'm really doing anymore. Although I sincerely enjoyed spending hours chatting with you Stoneslinger76 and Ragtop, I'm truthfully just losing interest with this project. Your help was most valued. And I thank you for your time.

I realize that people have day to day jobs and lives ...

Not sure how to really put it, but I've noticed that sometimes the console seems frozen, although the server still functions otherwise. For example If I wanted to say hit F7 to login, or use tab to cycle thru the various console menu's I couldn't. The only work around to this is to shutdown the ...

I thought they went out of business.
do they still use that 2 dvd term client?
that was one drawback to their death. Hey you can play this neato game and download a free client.
in about 4 days....

EA shut it down yes, but a group of Dev's have brought it back to life. All files you need ...

I wonder what a online graphic and sound game cost.
something like Larkinor or something. I even miss the Earth amd Beyond system. I can imagine what it takes to setup and run something like that. heck, thier special 2 cdrom client software was nice. I sometimes load it just to hear the music and ...

Still a massive work in progress, but got a dyndns address for the BBS yay!

It's: http://metacomm.dyndns-server.com

Strange that Worldlink has a period before the address. My guess is something in windows is doing that.

Anyone currently running a WG v2.00 on an XP w/ SP3 system? I downloaded the Worldgroup DOS on XP help documentation, and tried following the instructions provided.

The instructions for AUTOEXEC.NT tells me to set a path to all sorts of directories. I'm guessing that these instructions we're also ...

Thank you frcorey and Syclops. I have secured the MajorMUD stuff. You guys left tears in my eye, as I see a future beginning for my system. Now give me your addresses and ill send you both a keg of beer lol.

well technically 1.1p was available to paying sysops only so just to have it available is good news for you.

Your correct, after a certain version they changed their policies to require registered owners to contact them for the latest release/builds. However they no longer respond to emails, and or ...

What terminal program does everyone use to connect to BBS's? I use mTelnet, but I just upgraded to Windows 7 (finally) and you cannot make it full screen it just does the little Window. I'm trying to find something nice that is full screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

I tried PuTTY, it will go ...

Why don't you post a specific list of what your looking for. Maybe one of us can help you out.

I'm not entirely sure what mods I need/want beyond the (2) which I specifically stated when creating this thread. Reason being is that I'm reading the entire forums and learning there are issues with ...

Sigh, more running around. I'm really tired of hopping thru hoops to get a simple installer, screw it, I'll run a virgin board. Appreciate the help tho, but this is just rediculous hopping around 5 million places of which 95%+ of them return 404 errors, or simply do not exist.

Almost not even ...

Is there by chance a fix for the 3.2/3.3-NT console bug? Basically when you (F7) into the board, the text seems to be off by maybe 2 characters. I'm not sure how one would explain it, but say your in MajorMUD and try to read a paragraph or even a sentence of text, it would start on the right screen ...

Well anyways, I logged onto your BBS Stoneslinger76 and found a nice library. However I don't see the latest MajorMUD installer. I noticed that your running version 1.1p. Any chance you can email me at jlittge@gmail.com with the 1.1p installer for WG 3.3-NT? Many thanks in advance.

I answered the message yesterday... hmmm maybe pmail is broken.
You dont need to ask to login to The Swamp BBS. You can acess all the file areas and download even in "Demo" user class, web or telnet.[/quote]

Strange, I've been logged into the forums, and do not have a PM reply from you ...

I also PM'd you Slinger as well as DSPain, and have no responces, but yea, I'm remaining hopeful, and hope the community rebounds, becasuse it sucks not seeing many new posts.

For any of you who may have been living under a rock the past two months and missed this announcment, Merlin, the creator of MegaMUD is back and developing a new client.

A website has been setup to keep people informed on the progress of the project.

I'm currently rebuilding my bbs from scratch. I have absolutely nothing beyond the baseline package. Building off of WG v3.30-NT. I'm hoping someone who read this can help. I need the following mods that work for WG V3.30NT.

MajorMUD - I need the latest installable version.

TW 2002 - I need ...

20+ views, yet no bites. Shame on you all. Whats going on with the community? Seems dead around here. The bulk of activity being around 2006-08.

I'm having a hard time building my system with enthusiasm, due to lack of activity here, and seems the ISV's sites are hard to reach etc.

I think I had the sirius package for WG 2.0. I lost my entire system due to a fire, and now a decade later, after seeing that there is activity here, decided to rebuild from scratch. however now V3.30.

I know it's off topic, but what does one do for the popular games like TW 2002, MajorMUD etc? I ...

I used to own a mod, that allowed people to play various games like DOOM, Hexen etc thru WG using an addon. My guess of the mod name was GameConnection or something simular, would be neat to have that back. I enjoyed being fragged by my users back in the day. Anyone ever have that, or know who ...

Yes, I have 10 level 80+ characters on the Greymane server. Addicting game isn't it?

Although it's been about a decade since we we're last online, I will/am in the process of rebuilding from scratch. Including all the terminal side ANSI's, and what seems like an endless amount of text block editing.

Yes, it's likely a waist of time changing every facet of the terminal side in terms ...

It's great we have these forums, however at least for me I like a more personal approach at times. Especially something that is of interest to you. Anyone else share this philosophy? I'm talking about a voice over ip server called TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. Much like Skype, but with more options and ...

Hey all,

My name is Jason, or better known on my BBS as 360. I was an MBBS/Worldgroup sysop for many years back in the day. Sadly I was victim to a fire and lost all my hardware and data.

Found this site literally just a few days ago, and have spent the last couple of days reading. I am in awe ...
