Aside from (hopefully) working around the recent connectivity issues with RC-BOX BBS, I've also purged the "General" message file and moved all existing messages to a new "Archive" message file. It's read-only but it cotnains all the posts to "General" from july 2022 - january 2025.

Also, the "Making", "Code & Co." and "Announce" message files have been dropped as they have never been used.

As always you can find the telnet address of the BBS in the ALT-Text or my profile here on #oldbytesdotspace

* Connection issues:

Over the past few months I have witnessed some strange behavior with the system, where the Wifi modem would loose connection over night and not restore it properly. As a result the BBS was unreachable. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happens but it seems that I have found a way to work around this issue.

* Re-structuring of Message Files:

After four years of operation, the GENERAL message file got close to its upper message limit. Since I didn't want to delete any of your previous messages, I decided to move them to the new ARCHIVE message file. There you can find all messages of the old GENERAL message board (2022-2025). Also, the MAKING, CODE&CO and ANNOUNCE message files have been dropped.

Over the past few months I have witnessed some strange behavior with RC-BOX BBS (the world's first - and currently only - RC2014 based BBS) where the Wifi modem would loose connection over night and not restore it properly. As a result the BBS was unreachable.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happens but may have found a workaround.

Many pictures from about a year ago that I posted on oldbytes.space have become unavailable and not visible.

Does anybody know what happened?
