There is a difference between one caring about traffic snooped on for personal/commercial/enterprise things and traffic that resides on a silly B that has not been designed with any security beyond text-passwords or has any innovation beyond being executable by an equally silly telnet server.

Nobody snooping on my BBS usage is going to gain anything from me other tha have a real fun way of killing time.

Holy SHIT! Someone with some common sense! Glad to be in your company! ;)

I suspect Exodus just doesn't care about security. That's OK if he is just "having fun" then there is nothing to protect.

Of course I'm having fun .. been since 1993 when I started my BBS .... but thats what it is, a BBS. If you want to be secure, you are on the wrong system. Go use the web and run something secure. The BBS was never made to be secure. Hell, for years most software had the sysop be able to SEE the user's passwords.

The only protection in a BBS that has been is a text based password. Nothing more, nothing less.

There is no "argument" because I'm not "arguing" anything. I'm actually finding all of this hilarious that in 2021 suddenly apparently its a proble to be running a telnet system with 90's-era software that one can supposedl "snoop on". The idea that some blackhat is going to snoop someone's telnet session while they trade barbs on some silly net or cheat at Tradewars is beyond absurd. I'll take a pass on whatever is being smoked here.

Damn it Nick .... they came knocking at the door today about a message I posted in 1994. Said I spelled Miscellaneous wrong. I told them since 1994 I made sure I knew the correct spelling of the word. Then we all sat down, laughed and giggled a bit about the old days. Then just like that, I woke up in a field 3 miles from my house .... with the letters SSH wrote on a piece of paper .... do you think this all ties together?!

Lol. Make sure you're not sitting in a coffee shop logged in to your board telnet, someone will see how much you sexually harass Violet and then shame you on social media. Dox you, ruin your life, all because you use telnet.

I hope Seth Able never sees this! There goes my free turns playing LORD.

... Ask me anything: if I don't know, I'll make up something.

Bah. Let him see it. Dude sometimes expresses his love by sending me negati money.

Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that he's really just pursuing Jenny Gart

HA
