... Is this thing on?

Spun up a VM, unzipped my BBS from its 15-year-old ZipFile-o-stasis, applied years of patches, and here we are.

Could I bother one of you to let me know if this is getting out, please?

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks.

I had posted a few messages the other day, and they didn't go until now, so I'm happy my config is straightened out now.

Cool, some would only bother starting fresh.

Kudos.

It was certainly a journey, and that did cross my mind.

You were better than me, I kept the backup when my BBS crashed in 2009, but when I restarted one I just started fresh, was on windows anyway and I switched to linux. But I guess the message base would have been the same.

Now I wonder.... Would there be a way to merge them? ( forums files )

I promise you that spinning up a new Windows VM was the last thing I wanted to do, but it seemed the most straightforward way to get things up and running again, as my original board ran on Win2k IIRC. I also had read the docs mentioning needing an old, unmaintained version of DOSEMU for 16-bit DOS support on Debian, so I decided to go this route.

I might see about moving it to Linux in the future, but for the time being, I'm not a fan of fixing things that ain't broke :P

This is great to know! I must have missed the migration section when poking around the docs.
