I removed Dove-net from my BBS and have applied to Agoranet and
Araknet. Are any of you guys running your own network?

I'm looking for more to join.

I'd recommend Micronet:

And tqwNet:
https://erb.pw/node-request/


You can also check out Fidonet, since you're in Kamloops that looks like it may be a job for Alan Ianson (21:4/106 & 1:153/0).

I'm curious why you removed Dove-Net? That's one of the more busy networks I've seen out there.

I have a couple, DeveloperNet (for software development/programming) and MusicalNet (for music topics). They usually don't get much traffic though:

For the last 2 months it's only been a guy arguing about the moon landings being fake. That, and I prefer FTN over QWK.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a peruse.

I don't think it has been that long. And that's the infamous MRO.. I've found that traffic on Dove-Net goes up and down. I've had Dove-Net on my BBS since 2007, and other than MRO's BS, usually it has some interesting activity. But sometimes there are a few days when nobody posts.

FTN vs. QWK doesn't really make much difference to me, as long as I can get a message network hooked up.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give them a peruse.

DeveloperNet and MusicalNet are mainly QWK, but there is an FTN feed for them.

I have a fidonet feed but don't have all subs turned on, just the ones I think are interesting to carry. Just letting you know that's an option.

I think fsxNet and Dove are the biggest two to carry... Agora is close to dead and arakNet requires one of the other ops to vouch for you. The best way to get in w/ arak is to find an arakbbS and post. Meet the peeps.

(If you want to access arak @ 2o just sh00t me an email there and I'll give you the correct acs to see the conference.)

sysOps always rush to add all the FTNs - but they're mostly dead aside from fsx and Dove. tqwNet is a great small net that is still active. MeaTLoTioN @ Quantum Wormhole runs it...

I carry too many, but a list is;
arakNet
fsxNet - avon @ agency bbs
Dove-Net - vertrauen bbs
tqwNet - mL @ Quantum Wormhole
sp00kNet - warmfuzzy/cr1mson
WWiVNet - ... I forget
RetroNet - I pull from Black Panther @ Castle Rock
WeedNet - marissa @ https://sysopshub.com/weednet/
MetroNet - Exodus???
zer0net - jACK pHLASH @ d1st

As the OP wanted FTNs (and not QWK networks), just contact me if you

WeedNet is a small and mostly quiet network for friends of cannabis,
and it has the appropriate network number 420 :)

I understand why there is so many. Im sure people like to run there own Message NETS. But in my opinion, and only being back in BBS'ing for about 2 months now, It seems if there was just like 1 or 2 NETS that everyone used or even just 1 main NET there would obviously be more activity in the one. Instead of having a bunch of "dead" or "slow" NETS. Im probably just stating the obvious, too bad there wasnt a way where everyone running a message NET could join together in a way to possibly improve everything as a whole.

Personally I like to have choice, even if the nets are half dead.
I also like how some are focused toward topics, ie. Spooknet and
Retronet. I really wanted to join Retronet but the owner/nc is
taking a break, so we'll see. Back in the 90's when I ran
RealmsNet it was more for fun rather than to build something
popular.

Same with my current TribalNet, sure it's only on a couple BBBes,
but it's part of the fun.

Why? I can reel off a half a dozen specialty networks that get 0 or

Same here, if the nets are only "half dead". Problem is, they are "full dead". I recently stopped carrying 4-5 nets for that very reason.

That "break" is measured in years...

It's pretty generic to be honest. I wanted to revive my old network, but

There are lots of dead BBS's too. Do we need more? Heck no. But the more

I still have unexplained issues with tqwNet. Suddenly stopped working. Sessions work, packets get transferred, then things disappear into a black hole. But everything looks setup correctly.

Areafix requests also get lost in the black hole. Rather confusing.

I have VKRadio, which is all about hobbyists radio communications. While most users are hams, the subject matter is much broader. If it's a hobbyist venture and uses RF energy, it's most likely on topic. Besides ham radio, other areas I'd more than welcome discussion on include:

CB radio
Hacking with "licence free" low power devices.
LoRa
Long range wifi
Scanning and shortwave listening
Software defined radio (RTL-SDR devices are cheap and fun to play with) Technical aspects of low power FM broadcasting - equipment, antennas, audio processing
GMRS (USA), FRS(USA)/PMR446(EU) and similar services.


This list is not exhaustive!

And I'm also the FTN hub for DeveloperNet and MusicalNet.
