I just went through the last two months of logs and came up with some interesting statistics. During that time you have logged on 23 times, downloaded 66 files and uploaded NONE. You have called for chat twice, and left a total of two messages on the board, one requesting a specific program and the other informing me of a disk error in a download file. I can only draw the conclusion that you are interested in this board for ONE REASON ONLY -- to rape hell out of the download menus. I've left plenty of messages regarding PARTICIPATION in the BBS and the Message Base, but you either haven't read them or else you ignored them. Sorry, but one-way streets just don't hack it around here. Jim. Jim, I have been taking part in the BBS. Every time I log on I read all the new messages. John. John, I just can't help but feel that in all that time you could have at least said "Hi" or "Thanks for the downloads" or SOMETHING to acknowledge that there's a real live human being on this end. Jim. - + - + - + - Except for power failures, my computer has been continually running since Nov. 11, 1982, and has fielded over 12,000 telephone calls operating as a BBS. Back then, it was a joy to be a part of the realm of computer telecommunications -- now it's a drag. It seems to me that a "GIMMEE" attitude has pervaded the whole arena of BBSing, with callers interested in nothing more than material gains in the way of software. My board is far from the busiest, being isolated in the "foreign country" of Montana, but an average day will see about 20 or 25 calls to the system. An average day will also see about three or four messages (of ALL types, including E-Mail) being posted. The typical log entry shows so-and-so logging on, going to the file transfer area, downloading several files and then logging off. Thanks, that's why I started up a BBS, to supply people with free programs. Really makes my day to see that I've spent all this time and money just to watch pigs at the trough. Whatever happened to the COMMUNICATIONS in telecommunications? Is this the result of the Computer Age, that people don't talk or communicate with each other? Are we getting so totally in tune with our equipment that we're excluding PEOPLE? If so, then Orwell's predictions are tame in comparison with the reality. Who took the BULLETIN BOARD out of Bulletin Board System? The file transfer section of my board is shiny from daily use, but the bulletin section is obscured by cobwebs. The thought has crossed my mind more than once just to load up a host program and let people grab whatever programs look interesting. "Do you have a logon code for this system (Y/N) ==> Y <==" "What is your account number? 775" "What is your logon code? PASSWORD" "INVALID LOGON CODE" "Do you have a logon code for this system (Y/N) ==> Y <==" "What is your account number? 305" "What is your logon code? PASSWORD" et cetera, ad infinitum et ad nauseam. Hackers. Or so they'd like to believe. Vandals, pests, yes. Hackers? They should be so talented, devoted and lucky. Why do these computerized delinquents find such delight in trying to break into bulletin boards? Don't they realize that sysops are ordinary people just like themselves trying to find a little enjoyment in their hobby? Why pick on me? I'm spending a lot of time and money trying to provide people a service for free, and they want to go and spoil it for everyone. Heck, if they want onto the system, all they have to do is apply for a logon. Why make life difficult for everyone? Leave me alone. Go pick on CompuServe. Caller logs on. Leaves E-Mail to a friend. Lines only fill half the screen, so he's probably using a Commodore 64. Goes to file transfer section, and selects UltraTerm protocol. Chooses a file that indicates it's a TRS-80 program. BBS goes to send, he figures out that he's somewhere he doesn't want to be and drops carrier. Another caller logs on four times in a row, but keeps losing carrier before he can do anything. Probably phreaking on a cheapie phone service. Another caller successfully downloads a file. Sit. Wait. Wait some more. System eventually times out and drops him. I'm not the most polite person in the world and I'm certainly not one to stand on ceremony, but I am old enough to remember what manners were. They also went down the tubes with "communications" and "bulletin boards." Whoops! Dropped carrier! So what? If it's a halfway decent system, it'll reboot. Well, I'll just go to bed while downloading this long file, the system will eventually throw me off and reboot. Never mind that there's other people wanting to call into the board. Who cares that the sysop climbs the walls when he sees someone drop carrier or time-out on the system? Lately I've gotten into the habit of dropping carrier ON MY END for the worst offenders. One good hang-up deserves another. Along with all the other goodies that have bitten the dust, there's good old APPRECIATION. As I mentioned before, my BBS has fielded over 12,000 calls. Out of all of them, I have gotten maybe a dozen messages saying "Thanks for running your BBS." That's about one "Thank You" per THOUSAND calls! Unfortunately, it seems that people think they have all this automatically coming to them. It's their right! Sorry to disillusion anyone, but that just ain't so. The master switch for this system is two feet away, and I'm not so decrepit that I can't hit it in a flash. Alternatively, I can ban anyone I wish from my system. Callers use this BBS at my forbearance only, and it's not a God-given right. It's a sysop-given privilege! I sincerely feel that we should proclaim a "Sysop Appreciation Day." We certainly don't get any on a day-to-day basis! Don't get me wrong. There ARE joys and benefits in running a BBS, although sometimes in my nether moods I'm hard pressed to enumerate them. But the fact is, there have been many occasions when I've rested my finger on the switch with the idea of going offline forever. Now for the moral of the story. I'm only one sysop among many, and I'm not trying to evoke sympathy for myself through this article. The point is that almost every sysop around has these feelings to some extent or another. And further, most of these sysops (especially the best and most devoted ones) are going to reach a saturation point and wind up depriving the general public of their services. I foresee a day coming, and very soon at that, when the high quality BBS's will be all gone. So all this is really a plea for everyone to shape up their acts before it's too late. If nothing else, when you're on a bulletin board, leave a little message to the sysop. "Thanks for the use of your system" or "Fine BBS you have here." Let them know they're appreciated. When I see a message like that, I say to myself, "THAT's why I'm doing all this!" Sysops are real, live human beings with feelings and emotions. Let's start treating them as such! - + - + - + - EPILOGUE: Twelve hours after the above was written, I find out that one of my best friends (with higher than normal access to the system) has allowed a third party to use her logon. That's forbidden for anyone on my BBS to do, but it hurts even more because a valued and trusted friend who should have known better went and did it. That's the final straw. The Most Significant Byte BBS is no longer in existence. Jim Anderson, Ex-Sysop The Most Significant Byte BBS Billings, Montana January 13, 1985 NOTE: I agree completely with Jim in his above comments, if not his action. I find it difficult to comprehend the mind of individuals, who take those of us who, through our generosity and good nature, are supplying them, free of charge, this service. Please note, this attitude of SysOps is spreading and BBS's around the country are disappearing or getting more difficult to access. I certainly hope this action in tiny Billings, Montana has some effect on the community of computerists. Don't abuse a good thing! Dave Williams, still SysOp Magic City RBBS Billings, MT January 13, 1985 BULL2ASC╢@CLS@ GTE, mother company of 41% of the telephone companies across the US, has seen and made a decision on the EVI/FastComm Data Corp FastComm 2496 modem offer to SYSOP. This decision will also effect any and all further Robotics promotions. GTE has advised all it daughter companies to advise all SYSOPs that the promotion may cost the SYSOPs more then the modem is worth. The promotion is that a varified SYSOP may purchase the modem for $ 500.00, saving $ 200.00 off the price, and that the SYSOP would then post a prepared bulletin on their BBS advertising the modem for sale to the callers. GTE has ruled that the savings of $ 200.00 is an indirect payment for the advertisement, and the bulletin EVI/FastComm Data Corp prepared and requests the SYSOP's to post on the BBS, is in fact an advertisement. If the SYSOP takes the offer and posts the message on the BBS, then that SYSOP is conducting Business on the BBS. If this is done on phone service that is classified as residential and the fees paid by the SYSOP for the service are at the residential rate, that SYSOP could face some very nasty times with the business service department and legal department of their local phone company. The phone company will require the sysop to choose between two choices. They are: 1. remove the ad permanetly, or 2. change their phone service to business and pay that service rate. If the SYSOP makes a statement that he/she will remove the ad, then all is fine. BUT if the ad is not removed, the phone company may do one of the following with out notifying the SYSOP: 1. change the service to business and increase the rate to business, or 2. disconnect the service. If the SYSOP refuses to remove the ad, or change their service to business, then the phone company will disconnect the service. THIS IS A WARNING, NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. CHECK YOUR PHONE COMPANY ABOUT CONDUCTING BUSINESS ON A RESIDENTIAL PHONE SERVICE. ALSO GIVE THEM A COPY OF THE EVI/FASTCOMM DATA CORP OR ROBOTICS OR ANY PROMOTIONAL LIKE THIS. THEY WILL MORE THEN BE WILLING TO ADVISE YOU ON THEIR POLICY. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE BAIT AND HAVE PURCHASED THE MODEM, AND HAVE THE AD ON YOUR BBS, AND ITS ON RESIDENTIAL SERVICE...REMOVE THE AD ASSAP....EVI/FASTCOMM DATA CORP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE PROBLEM AND BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PROMOTIONAL IS IN VIOLATION OF SEVERAL POLICIES AND LAWS OF MOST PHONE COMPANIES AND FCC AND STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES ACROSS THE NATION.
