Yes.
|
|
|
|
Lame. BBSing these days. Is it just me or has it become an honest waste of
|
|
time? I used to sit around calling all the local boards faithfully, putting
|
|
hours of work into them, and hoping they would become good boards. I would
|
|
advertise on other boards, post on almost every sub, UL files, and other
|
|
shit like that. I was always big on posting though. A good board to me was
|
|
a board that had a lot of good quality posts. Files didn't matter much to me
|
|
and they still don't. I have the files I need and jillions of files don't
|
|
mean a good board right off. Games got pointless really quick. The good games
|
|
you play a lot, get good at, then get tired of because you win all the time.
|
|
That happened to me in TradeWars. Now I don't play any onliners. Except one
|
|
actually and that is called Immortal Struggle. Anyway, so that leaves only
|
|
one other thing on a board basically. Posting. Some people don't get into
|
|
posting near as much as others for some reason, but most don't know what they
|
|
are missing. What is the purpose of posting anymore some people ask. You
|
|
post to the same people over and over and talk about everything. Not really.
|
|
There is always a significant number of new BBSers, and a significant number
|
|
of older people leaving so the turnaround rate is big enough to allow new
|
|
conversation all the time.
|
|
|
|
Sub topics. Each board that I am on, there are the typical subs. Anonymous,
|
|
'real name', and a few others that each sysop seems to put on his/her board.
|
|
Sure they generate the posts but they are usually lame posts not worth
|
|
reading. Other boards have specific topics and the sysop jumps down the throat
|
|
of anyone who doesn't stay on topic. That isn't the asnwer. Some of the best
|
|
posting subs have names that are irrelevant, but keep up good posting. People
|
|
see a place where anything can be posted here, and run with it. These are
|
|
the subs that usually generate really good posts, about a number of topics,
|
|
and are well worth reading.
|
|
|
|
Nets. Locally we have WWIVnet, Virtualnet, and a few others. The others are
|
|
the underground nets that seem to be worth reading all the time. But with
|
|
so many BBSers that don't know about stuff around here, very few have access
|
|
to them. So that leaves WWIVnet and stuff. WWIVnet is sorta cool but many
|
|
lamers occupy it. Lot of people that only know about one kind of board, call
|
|
out little, and are hit with a bunch of bullshit rumors about other topics
|
|
so they don't know a lot about shit. For example, on one sub, we are talking
|
|
about viruses, and most of the people on there are so misinformed it isn't
|
|
funny. They stereotype people, label people for little or a lame reason etc.
|
|
The underground nets that do come through here are the only reason I call
|
|
locally anymore. Since I have started reading them I am making an effort to
|
|
get more through here.
|
|
|
|
Posting locally. How do you improve it? I have no idea. Seems all the
|
|
"christmas" modemers have infested the BBSing scene and made it go downhill.
|
|
Ignore the terms 'elite' and 'newbie' and it still breaks down to just that
|
|
you have the older people that know what BBSing should be like, and the,
|
|
new people that think this is all there is to it, and are content to go with
|
|
it. They don't realize that it used to be hundreds of tiems better than this.
|
|
Even if you hate the terms, you have your 'newbies' that come in, post a
|
|
message with total bullshit in the middle of a good sub, then two days later
|
|
figure out how to read what is on that sub. They know nothing of posting
|
|
etiquette, nothing of who else is posting with them, and many times will just
|
|
jump in with an attitude of "I know what I am doing".
|
|
|
|
Thing to think about is how to fix it. One thing that helps, is sysops point
|
|
out some of these things to new users. Tell them to DL files that help them
|
|
out. They are out there, text files that tell about abbreviations, signs, and
|
|
etiquette. Seems sysops these days just want users on their boards, and don't
|
|
care about the quality of a user.
|
|
|
|
Bah. I don't know where this is coming from. Probably coming from my long
|
|
distance bill as that is the only place I can call to find good posting like
|
|
the old days. I know the old days to me are just a couple of years ago but
|
|
even back then, it was cool to BBS. Always interesting new posts on many subs,
|
|
and taking 30 minutes to read the new posts on a board was nothing. Now, if
|
|
you spend more than 5 minutes on, you must be doing a file transfer or playing
|
|
a game or something else.
|
|
|
|
If you are reading this, then try to do something about it. Change the way
|
|
you post and then try to change the way other people post. I don't mean to
|
|
change what they are saying, or whatnot, but to help out others and make
|
|
sure more quality posts get posted. Nothing should be wrong with giving
|
|
friendly reminders that a post is stupid and nothing should be wrong with
|
|
deleting pointless posts.
|
|
|
|
ho hum. You get the point of this I hope. And I hope you will do something
|
|
about it. Start with yourselves. That is all there is to it.
