What kind of question is this? Synchronet has been the way it is for a long time; why would you expect it to become more like a different BBS package? I doubt Digital Man is going to change his mind on how Synchronet is implemented and make it work like a different BBS package. If you like Wildcat Professional, then use that instead..

Synchronet pretty much exceeds Wildcat in every meaningful way. If you
want a pretty GUI custom client and admin interfaces, then you'd
probably need to fork out mid-six figures to fund development, because anyone capable of doing such development is unlikely to do so without it being a paying job. Just my $.02 Feature wise, it's leaps and bounds
ahead of Wildcat.

What do you think makes Wildcat look 'incredible'? I haven't used any Wildcat BBSes lately, so I'm probably out of touch, but I somehow doubt it's leaps and bounds ahead of Synchronet, or much different than it used to be.
I never hear any BBS sysops raving about it. It seems Synchronet and Mystic are two of the most popular BBS packages being used right now.

Having used Wildcat software 1995, and still occasionally check out a
demo for updates just for shit and giggles, I can, IMHO, say Wildcat BBS sucks s%*t especially if you try to run in a VM. Synchronet is Leaps
and Bounds over WC on every level .. and you can customize SBBS's web ui anyway you want ... you can even write your own web ui if you do not
want to customize either the stock runemaster or echickens webv*
though, I rarely condescend, I must make a personal observation ... you seem to be the type of person that just wants to stir the pot and raise controversy about anything other than SBBS by starting with blah balh
blah vs SBBS ...
Just because WC is the most successful COMMERCIAL BBS package does not mean it the best BBS package ...
you do know what the legal term "puffery" means, right? ;)

Yeah, I didn't think there was anything Wildcat could do that Synchronet couldn't. Though, I think I've heard Wildcat has its own scripting language or its own door/module support, similar to how Synchronet has Baja & JavaScript (and I think Mystic uses Python)?

Only comment I have is that you can run wildcat in a VM. I do and it works fine. Web customization for WinServer is limited only by your skills and imagination.
Synchronet is stronger, as I run both I am partial to both.
Wildcat has wcBasic which cost from $99 to $400 you can create addons for Synchronet and Mystic for free.

Ah ... but what would be reasonable? I dropped three fucks on one line of text, so maybe that was too many fucks for one message. Surely there's a non-zero yet socially acceptable number of fucks-per-message(-per-year?), be it as low as 0.1 fucks-per-message (you can say "fuck" once every ten messages without reasonably offending anyone). This implies a form of "fuck-banking", where perhaps I could post a hundred fuck-free messages and earn myself ten fuck-credits to be spent at my discretion, whether it be ten fucks in one message or one fuck per message in ten successive messages. I'll have to think about that.

Swearing is not human or an excuse, DM. It's a lack of respect and insolent towards others that are here for civilized conversation. You can still talk without using profane words in a message. I do it all the time myself.
People can talk without swearing. I do it, DM does it, NF does it. Some people find it to be offensive and insulting especially when it's directed at someone who's a little more sensitive.
The other <= 20% of the time ... I forget
there are people out there who are so sensitive to these words they get bent out of shape about it.
I agree, but it's clear that even sparse casual swearing offends some people to an extent that is mind-bogglingly foreign to me. I don't mind offending The Millionaire, but I don't want to be a bother to anyone
else - within reason.
There are people who see it that way, and there are others who don't really feel offended by a few swear words.
Take it from the rest of us, he is a lost cause.
Here's a related story.
I wouldn't tell anyone to fuck off if they were here for civilized conversation. I usually reserve it for people who are a consistent drag, downer, irritant, an d who show no sign of listening/learning/improving. Or friends who can tell when I'm joking.

Your message was 148 words long containing 10 fucks (not quite a "don't give a fuck" message because you gave us a moderate amount of fucks).
So if we take 148/10 and carry the one you get a 14.8% fuck level which
is more than fucking reasonable in my opinion.
Not completely sure that's true, but... As for everyone getting
along with everyone, do you do your part in helping that happen?
As I've seen it, your messaging style is NOT in line with accepted
norms, and therefore could be (and is) seen as offensive to
others. You've been asked many times, and given
suggestions/pointers on how to improve, but seem to just ignore
those and continue on as you always have.
So, if you truly want to get along with everyone, please do your
share of trying. The burden is not solely on everyone else to
please you. You share the burden of acting properly.

Solid analysis, but your fucking math is wrong. The percentage
is actually (10/148)*100 or about a 6% fuck rate.

"Excessive" is subjective though. And this subject (me) doesn't think you've done either of those things (numbers 1 or 2) excessively. You're only human, after all.

Wildcat has wcBasic which cost from $99 to $400 you can create addons for Synchronet and Mystic for free. What else I hate is I need to get Platinum Xpress and NetSerial to get FTN working and only to hubs that runs NetSerial. At least both Synchronet and Mystic both as a mailer
and tosser built in and can connect to hubs more FTN hubs. The only
good thing Wildcat has is QWK network support.
And I'm sure Synchronet's QWK network support is better. DM has added some nifty QWK networking features, and even better, he's documented them, so other
BBS developers can incorporate them into their products.

I bet his computer screen is bigger than yours.
I heard one person describe it as "profanity is the attempt of a
feeble mind to express itself forcibly". Both my late Mom and my late

It goes back to the saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". Plus, "if you wouldn't say it to your wife, daughter,
know what I think of Rap?? Put a C in front of it!!". To me, Rap is for folks who never learned how to sing...and from the content of most of
it, it seems the only thing they know how to do is curse.
Now, in the King James Version of the Bible, there are 2 passages in
the Old Testament, showing how banal the people were. They basically
were urinating and defecating wherever they felt like it (sounds like
San Francisco today). The passage basically noted that "The Lord would destroy all of them -- even them that pisseth against a wall". The language of the King James Version is of William Shakespeare's Day (Elizabethan English). Their behavior was so vile (as in the days of
Noah before the Flood)...so, God had to destroy them.
Common courtesy and politeness has gone the way of the dinosaur and
the dodo.
Perhaps someone should write a script that can be run on a timer to periodically scan the messagebases on a Synchronet BBS to gather data on the "fuck count" of the messages. When the fuck count reaches a sysop-configurable threshold, it could take some kind of action, like sending a warning email to the particular user who exceeded the fuck count threshold (if it was a single user).

Synchronet pretty much exceeds Wildcat in every meaningful way. If you want a pretty GUI custom client and admin interfaces, then you'd
probably need to fork out mid-six figures to fund development, because anyone capable of doing such development is unlikely to do so without it being a paying job. Just my $.02 Feature wise, it's leaps and bounds ahead of Wildcat.

What do you think makes Wildcat look 'incredible'? I haven't used any Wildcat BBSes lately, so I'm probably out of touch, but I somehow doubt it's leaps and bounds ahead of Synchronet, or much different than it used to be. I never hear any BBS sysops raving about it. It seems Synchronet and Mystic are two of the most popular BBS packages being used right now.
