There are web forums people use that don't have their own               Co> Sure, but you're thinking like someone who already knows the ins and outs        Co> of a Synchronet BBS with a webserver. A newbie doesn't have such knowledge              Not really; my line of thought was that even if someone isn't familiar with       Synchronet, I think many people are familiar with using a web browser and       should be able to have a look at the Synchronet wiki and read the       documentation. Also, they could look at, say, Vertrauen's web site and look       in the Dove-Net message areas for Synchronet; ecwebv4 is similar to a web       forum where you can read through messages.              When I first started using Synchronet and didn't know anything about it, I       started reading through the Synchronet documentation (at the time, the wiki       didn't exist, so I read through the older web-based documentation). That was       my first thought for learning about Synchronet; I wouldn't have thought to       post in a Facebook group to ask questions about Synchronet.              Nightfox              ---        þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 134 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 460/256 1124 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
