I'm not sure how many people actually look at the diffs. One could sneak in a surprise along with an unrelated change, and not mention it in the commit message. (Which is all the more reason for people to at least glance at the commits.)

I don't see what's so significant about 3.20b vs any other release. Minor is a multiple of ten? I'm not aware of it being some long-anticipated milestone.

Back in 2004, I predicted (on synchro.net) that v3.20 would be the version in which a built-in web server was introduced. The web server ended up being written (by Deuce) much sooner than I had an anticipated. I think that's the only significance (to Mr. Millionaire) of the "v3.20" I can think of. The 'b' revision has no special signifance.

Perhaps a quick read of https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1297 will help:

here's a partial quote:

"Let's say you wish to develop free software derived from software that is licensed under the terms of any one of these agreements. All you have to do is maintain the current copyrights and insert your copyright notice for the code you add, thereby licensing your additions under the same license as the rest of the code."

Synchronet is Copyright Rob Swindell and is licensed under GPLv2/LGPLv2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License

So, modify the source, keep the previous copyrights intact, add your own copyrights ... you can sell your software but you also have to maintain the GPLv2/LGPLv2 licenses and release your source AFAIK anyway ...

Maybe you're a good person... maybe you just play the stupid bbs game to the extreme and found yourself in a position where no one 'gets' you and are so alienated that you now dislike the experience.

I think its your fault tho... some of your posts, 'remember the days' are
good topic starters, but the vast majority are extremely silly or outlandish
or seem to only be written to bother the people developing sbbs software. Or worse, I've seen you attack those people on a personal level - either not realizing, not caring or just being too stupid to care that they are the ones creating or modifying the bbs software FOR you. :P

I don't think there needs to be moderation, I think you need to stop with the posts that drive the majority nuts. I think you've already chosen to go all
in on 'The Millionairre' moniker - so keep it coming. I can't believe you haven't already made it to the developers (the 5-10 people who create this beast) twit list.

Maybe you are familiar with the TV Series: "What We Do in the Shadows"? (1)

One of the main characters in that show is an "energy vampire" (2). Instead of blood, they trive on sucking the mental energy out of others. My theory is that TM is like that.

It's a bit like a Troll, but not exactly. The remedy however is the same: Don't feed them with your energy! If they don't get fed, they will seek other pastures.

I think its your fault tho... some of your posts, 'remember the days' are good topic starters, but the vast majority are extremely silly or outlandish or seem to only be written to bother the people developing sbbs software. Or worse, I've seen you attack those people on a personal level - either not realizing, not caring or just being too stupid to care that they are the ones creating or modifying the bbs software FOR you. :P

Maybe you are familiar with the TV Series: "What We Do in the Shadows"? (1)

One of the main characters in that show is an "energy vampire" (2). Instead of blood, they trive on sucking the mental energy out of others. My theory is that TM is like that.

It's a bit like a Troll, but not exactly. The remedy however is the same: Don't feed them with your energy! If they don't get fed, they will seek other pastures.

Then what would you use for a bbs software?

Probably quit the hobby.

I told this one ham radio operator (not Rob), that "if I had the choice
of checking into a traffic net that you ran, and forfeiting my ham radio license, I'd do the latter".

The same applies if "your software" was the only one around. With your
snippy comments at the fine work that Rob has done (and you apparently
detest the package, or want a "be all and end all BBS package"), I'd quit BBSing if yours was the only package left.

you might be fucking retarded.

by now, but... yea i like watching the show.

back to just ignoring your messages. I'm sorry you couldn't communicate >> a normal human being, but I gave it a shot.

I'll be ignoring your messages also as well and you're on my twitlist.

Does this mean you'll stop bothering to make suggestions or try to take
a position of authority on this message network? I mean, since you're
no longer going to receive messages from the primary developer/operator/owner of Synchronet and DoveNet.

I would never respect this joker, no matter what the position.

I mean... I'm not the only one who thinks his shit is... shit.

How do you know what I have, huh?

I find it very unlikely that you have a generic browser extension that blocks posts from selected users across multiple different types of web forums. I find it harder to believe that said plugin works with my web interface, which approximately 90 people in total have ever heard of.

And wouldn't you have already put me on your twitlist by now anyway? Why are you seeing and responding to my message?

Also, go away.

This guy just talks to see himself post. I really don't get it - nor the outlandish suggestions, bullshit 'i have my own twits' or mostly all of what
he posts over all of the FTN networks... it does kinda suck, because
obviously he was a lover of BBSing, came around for a bit and had some people engage him... and just - you know how BBS people sometimes get themselves
into a corner with some enemies or at least people who think they are... stupid.

I almost feel bad for him - if he didn't bring so much attention his way by
his own doing. So... he deserves the titles and labels that he's earned...
but I do know he probably has a passion for bulletin boards, and... I dunno
why he doesn't just run one and be a little more nice.

Hell, I type WAY too much and ... most people put up with it.

well i dont like bullying or picking on people or making light of someone.
he's obviously mentally ill and he has a lot of time on his hands. too bad he cant turn that energy into making money or doing something productive.

i personally hate the repetition. he's a broken record. if people would just ignore him and only reply when he stops his bullshit game then things would improve i'm sure.

I agree that his posts are excessive and like.. jeez, extremely BBS-flame
like; it totally reminds me of BBSing history in general - and how there was always SOMEONE.

I wouldn't go so far as mentally ill, although maybe there is truth there, because we certainly are living in crazy times right now... maybe BBSes is
all he has - I've been there.

I, too, looked at first... then was annoyed... and now I just laugh and
almost enjoy looking at the trainwreck daily. But thats not nice, nor
healthy, either. He has some issues...

It seems like he got out and saw some sun today, or... maybe he's gone
forever. I wouldn't count on it - and agree that he is a certain type of stupid.

I wish that he could turn a rock, and be welcomed again and a good
poster/user. It must suck, too, to have his stigma here.. even though he brought it on himself.

I feel for him a bit, I watch/enjoy the show even though I shouldn't doso... and I feel like he's probably lonely/needs the net. BBSing, at least, is his outlet as opposed to facebook or other places of 2020 - so at some point he's one of us... he's just like 20 years ago on FidoNet and yelling about PKUNZIP or worse. :/

I like ya Millionairre. For a while, earlier in the year, you were normal here... I wish you wouldn't have went off the deep end--- and KEPT GOING.

$200 for the first 45min a month, and $300/hr for each hour or part
thereof after that, I'm willing. I'm also willing to stick by the
pricing mentioned in my prior posts.

For $1500, I'll build an rpi tablet kit... and another $799, I'll build
a "synchronet pro" registration extension... and for the online amounts mentioned would even do those things.
