======[EQUiNOX]==================[THE MAKING OF AN ELITE BBS]====
|
|
|
|
Part 2 - Software
|
|
|
|
I'm not about to tell you where to get the money for all
|
|
this, theres too many different situations people are in to find
|
|
a solution for all of them... so on with the software.
|
|
Chances are you want something that looks good, but you need
|
|
to decide what you want to do, and what you want the software of
|
|
your board to say... examples...
|
|
|
|
Vision/2 - I don't like it, but you may get into it. Its
|
|
specially tailored for an elite BBS, but is buggy. You
|
|
may have some problems if you decide to choose this.
|
|
|
|
Wildcat! - Understood as a shareware BBS, no problem, looks
|
|
fugly though.
|
|
|
|
PcBoard - I'd like to see you get a program with more power,
|
|
a definite choice in my book, but a lot of $$
|
|
|
|
WWIV - Forget it, or maybe not... never know, if you can
|
|
program, then change the whole source.
|
|
|
|
Renegade - I personally don't like it... there are a lot of
|
|
bugs, but it is free, and has all the essentials.
|
|
|
|
Oblivion/2 - This flat out labels you as an elite BBS, although
|
|
there are some bugs, it is widely respected. And
|
|
the power is very impressive.
|
|
|
|
QUiVER - Its still in its development stages, but I like it.
|
|
wait on it a little bit though.
|
|
|
|
Vision-X - A very nice piece of software, it resembles OBV/2 in
|
|
certain ways, but its routines are very slow, it
|
|
will be an annoyance.
|
|
|
|
There's all the major BBS programs. Remember, you need to
|
|
decide on your own personal needs before you make a final
|
|
decision. PcBoard is made primarily for boards with more than 1
|
|
node, but that's not etched in stone, WildCat! will give you a
|
|
safe cover (as in not a lot of people suspect a WC! elite board),
|
|
OBV/2 is extremely configurable, and all current bugs can be
|
|
worked around. Vision-X will also label you as an elite BBS, its
|
|
not quite as powerful as OBV/2, but has very nice file and
|
|
message capabilities. Vision/2 is ok, I've seen a good board or 2
|
|
running it, I personally would get annoyed with all the bugs,
|
|
again, the choice is yours. I wouldn't suggest WWIV, Renegade,
|
|
or QUiVER just yet, Renegade and WWIV are pretty much out, but
|
|
since QUiVER is making a rather fast and promising start, I would
|
|
peek in on it here and there if I were you.
|
|
But which to choose? Heres a little something that should
|
|
help you... Sale: WORSE:[12345678910]BEST
