 AI> Hello Eric,

 ER>>>> Looking into it, I learned MBSE is... Pretty well featured, so I
 ER>>>> was curious to check it out..

 AI> I'm sure you'd like the mailer / ticer / tosser. In all my BBS travels
 AI> that stays with me.. :)

Hehe. Well, I'm currently running Synchronet with Htick and BinkD, which those
are pretty nice, honestly. I even have a setup I'm throwing together that's
mail-only, no BBS, that'll be BinkD+HPT+HTick+GoldED possibly JAMNNTPD, to
access and verify everything with. 

The one thing I truely do like about Synchronet is the fact it's scripted with
JavaScript, which is real-world usable stuff and very easy to work with. I was
able, thankks to Synchronet, to learn JavaScript for the first time ever and
actually appreciate using it. 

So, I'm curious what MBSE is actually capable of, and how customizable it is,
and scriptable, and if it's scripting language (if it has one), is worth using.
:)

 ER>> If there's no complaints,

 AI> No complainsts here.. in fact that could be very useful for anyone who
 AI> trys to setup mbse in the future since I don't think centos is currently
 AI> one of the distributions that the setup.sh is currently set to work with
 AI> IIRC. In fact Lukas de Groen said he was planning to upgrade his system
 AI> and I think he said his target was centos.

Heh, well, if I re-do the setup script, I'm likely to rip it all apart and
re-do a lot of it, to make it easier to maintain, and work with more systems
more easily., just depends. I haven't looked at it yet, but I usually end up
finding a lot of better ways to handle things other people had done.

But, yeah, my BBS systems all run on CentOS 7.1 these days, and I'm not likely
to change that. I hate Debian, I have Ubuntu, I hate .deb package format. If I
like MBSE enough to even mildly support it openly, I'll even make an RPM .spec
file for it that would allow binary distribution of it, and includable in the
source so people could download the source bundle, see the spec, rpm-build it,
install, and get up and running in no-time.

I would like to know a couple or a few publically accessible MBSE systems out
there, so I could check them out, too.. 

I want to see, first hand, what it's capable of as a user.
