  • Re: Why I don't like syso

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to NICK ANDRE on Thu Apr 4 17:25:00 2019
    Nick,

    Ahhhh c'mon... lets put this way. Noawadays, when new users who call my BBS NA>elect to ues the "Page Sysop" feature, I break into chat and I'm accused of NA>being a bot. I'm not real. What can I do to prove I am real? Aside from NA>confessing my self-grooming habits?

    TMI. <G>

    Am I not a friendly Sysop? With the ALT+F fake line noise and randomly NA>changing users's LORD status or running the Tradewars maintenance program so NA>the Ferrengi destroys the top player's trading corporation?

    Now, there's an idea <jk>. :P

    I heard on one BBS, a user got in a chat with The Guru, and
    thought they were talking to The Sysop!!

    Daryl

    i don't know how long ago you heard about this but it could easily have been on
    my new synchronet installation... i saw that one of my returning users had gotten in there when i popped in and tried to bring them to xnode chat... they may say something if they like but i won't flip them about it... it was kinda humorous, though...

    going back further, i had done a lot of work adding an AI to my really old IRC server... it was quite fun but training the thing was horrendous... especially for technical support stuffs when it was originally designed for general chit-chat... we eventually dropped it and moved on to other things...

    Nick,

    LOL.

    As the late P.T. Barnum noted, "There's a sucker born every minute".
    <G> The Sysop had so fine tuned the guru file, that for over an hour,
    the user thought he was actually typing at the Sysop...who was laughing
    his butt off!! <G>

    I *loved* that BBS door which was a port of the "Lisa" Q&A program written i NA>BASIC.

    I have the "Lisa" door on the BBS.
