A better BBS?
About every 6 months I go through the exercise of looking for new BBS
software. I began Viva! Amiga! (609-227-8278) in 1986 with BBS-PC! and
have been looking to replace it since 1987.
Everytime I go looking, I find a flock of new BBS software packages
available with lots of new exotic features and promising better this, that
and everything else. Whenever I look a little closer into each, I find
one gaping hole in the designs, NO THREADED MESSAGING. Now, we people on
CIS know the value of threaded messages, and most of my users, used to my
BBS, agree with us. Unfortunately, BBS software designers don't seem to
have a clue. One designer I spoke with said "what do you mean, threaded?"
Another said "of course messages are threaded, you read them all in the
order they are entered".
I'm looking again and hope that someone in the Amiga CIS community has
come across a system that both sports all of the latest features
(including 2.1 compatibility) AND threaded messaging. If there is such a
system, please share the info with me.
Thanks for helping me in my quest…
