  • NovaBBS is down again

    From DianeE@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 19 09:50:19 2025
    Working yesterday, but this morning it says something about connection
    to the message server and it's out.

    I just checked it and it appears to be up at this time.

    down again on Apr 21, 7 pm (from when I don't know)
    which might explain lack of posts

    Seems that it might. The trouble with BBS systems is there are more
    users than BBS systems these days.

    Easy for you and me, Jim - install an app like (cheap) Agent or (free) Thunderbird and subscribe to a Usenet service provider like
    Newshosting or Easynews for $10 a month (for that you also get access
    to all Usenet posts for the last 17 years *including countless
    binary/mp3 posts of our period's music*).

    I also use Newshosting ( for years and years, probably since the
    inception of this group), and Thunderbird. The retention is
    mind-boggling. The oldest post that shows is June 30, 2003.
