People familiar with modern BBSing will know of the recent upgraded MRC
service. Stackfault did an immense coding sprint over the last few weeks to
squash bugs and enhance stability - (many low sleep nights - he had fun).
The newest added feature is a gopher room. Simply '/join gopherspace' and all
commands are preceded with '.' (ie .help or .dir). As of the writing of this
post, there are 175 systems connected to the MRC infrastructure. While this
is only a small percent of running bbs systems, it won't be hard to find one.
A good start would be https://telnetbbsguide.com or connect to mine to get
started. I considered attaching a log dump of the list to this email but I'm
not sure how kindly yall would take that.
Hope to see some of you in MRC chat enjoying gophersurf.
