I am just too annoyed to even explain this in detail but I must. Their is this post on Boing Boing today talking about a bridging a web based system to a Fidonet BBS. Well hello! Wildcat Interactive Net Server which I run BBS Networks a Fidonet capable Browser capable BBS which has been available on the Internet for 9 years, has been able to be accessed via a Browser the whole time. Cory is acting like this is revolutionary
Let see this person scale that to 5000 conferences and 7 million post and see if it can hang we ran it at those levels for 5 years on a old Windows NT box with 512 megs of Ram accessing hard-drives totaling 1 terabyte of data. Want to see a site that is capable of scaling to that level and has 185,318 shareware files online today as well. Login and see for yourself. It currently only has 787,228 messages online, what can I say the Internet got in the way. BTW since day 1 when it started it has registered 27,756,996 individual logins and had at its peak 65,000 users.
Give me a break.
Login over at BBS Networks and see what the big boys have been doing for a very long time. [Boing Boing]
