your right part of registration issues is not relevant in this time. but in the time,
they were one of the most important part of linking people together with Sysop's help.
In the time, the questions were in all systems the same because it was the
standard of time some asked less some more
no doubt there are BBS programs whose registration issues were manipulated
or they were written in the Arexx language whose editing is fairly easy.
but it does not remove the fact that we want to use the program we like
and we do not want to belong to the same syncronet stardard
programs are their relics and as such we like them
they never be mainstream again i repeat never
and their will never be interest to many.
you would like us to switch the program to another that would support your
desired features without knowing what kind of work it would be.
In this scenario, things do not work just like on the Internet

i wonder why they die...
Initially, I was thinking of using the BBS Amiga letters,
but I abandoned that idea quite quickly when I noticed how limited the Topaz character set was
so my BBS is and remains Ansi

I do not see there any benefit why i would do so
this forum is not any more secure than my own BBS
I see no benefit of that only then if you are planning to throw shit
into my message areas or design any other horrors that someone else could not find out
why would I allow it ?
if I would allow it so then I would use SSH at both ends to
make sure nobody could figure out what my traffic would include
if i just use VPN and trasfer plain text like BBS trafic is
no government or a private person would have any trouble
finding out what my message was about if they knew where to look
I recommend that you use the channels that you have already found
to be working for you, as it is an easier solution for us all
