subject: Re: BBS software for Win

->-> You forget WinServer... which was pretty much built for the web. 
 
I could not agree with you more. :) 

->
->Lot of negative can be spoken about WinServer, the cost, the support for
->the bbs dos version, etc.  But as a WebServer it is fantastic and is
->well supported and has been developed well over the years. 
 
Again, I totally agree with you here. 

->
->I use as my main web server and I still run the bbs even though that
->portion has not been supported in years or any kind of update or
->development.
->                                                       
 
I run the BBS as well as all other services (I am on a development team that I
run a private mailing list for using the BBS and wcListServe, plus I also run
an unofficial MultiMail mailing list using it as well) and love it. 
  
->I bought the community version which was a two node system and have over
->time purchased up to 12 nodes.  That initial cost was around 200.00,  I
->was retired and had the money to invest.  No regrets. I do regret
->spending so much on the annual subscription to get updates, but then
->again the web portion actively being developed. 
 
This is basically what I did, then got up to 4 nodes, then purchased Sean
Highfield's 4 node WINServer license which brought my system up to 8 nodes,
where it stands today. 

->
->However as of late, it has slowed down to a crawl.  But the WinServer
->web is strong also and very flexible in configuration.   
 
As I continue to develop and support Wildcat! quite a bit these days, I find
my board to be quite active.  I've gotten a lot of compliments on my BBS, both
on the ANSI side as well as the web interface. 

->
->My .02, hopefully I am not to bashed in the head to much.
-> 
 
Nah, now why would we do a thing like that? :)  
 
Oh, and we should get you linked into WINSnet and DixieNet :)
