Greetings all!
It looks like the Looney Bin BBS is back online after many years.
Happy to be a part of fsxNet. We were originally serving Brunswick
County, NC from 91-95, providing the first email services into
the county via Fidonet.
Thank for everyone's help getting back online with Mystic and
RemoteAccess and a couple of good doors to get started. I read
and reread many messages here to get me going again and learning
about so much that has changed over the years.

Oh, and if you see any of my inmates... er, patients roaming
around here.. just don't stare at 'em. It phreaks them out.
... Me, indecisive? I don't think I am, do you?

Thanks for the reply. It took me a few tries to get the outgoing unplugged for the crap to flow. What a relief.

Glad it made it there... for a while I thought I really messed it up

Welcome to fsxNet -- nice to have you here!

I also ran RemoteAccess in the 90s -- it was one of the most popular BBS packages here and served me well for a number of years. I only got some problems with corrupted file bases (or was it message bases?) when 2.52 came out, if I remember correctly...

Best regards

Thanks Zip. I am glad to be back to BBS'ing. It was a highlight of my younger days.

I also ran RemoteAccess in the 90s -- it was one of the most popular
BBS packages here and served me well for a number of years. I only got some problems with corrupted file bases (or was it message bases?) when 2.52 came out, if I remember correctly...

Getting RA going again just so I had something to play with was a painful joy.
I was always a filehog, so to have RA and it's utilities available to help sort through all my CDs and folders really made it easier. I have spent the last year recovering old floppies and zip discs looking for some baby pics of my daughter and other family members. After I came across my backup of the Looney Bin structure, things just started to work together and then diving into r/bbs really gave me the incentive to crank up again.

Same thing here -- found a backup of my old RA installation and decided to go for another round of BBS fiddling after 20+ years... =)
