https://fido-z1.darkrealms.ca

Only one set of Nodelist, NodeDiff, Daily and Z1-Bone will be available for download. No more collections of files... too confusing for newcomers.

No more Fidogazette, Nasa or weather archives, nobody was downloading these
and just made the site seem busy. These files can be found elsewhere. D'Bridge was moved back to www.dbridgemailer.com for the same reason.

And unfortunately I also removed the Misc downloads as this was causing false-positives by a certain "website security" company taking it upon themselves to play Internet Police. They affected SEO and even the loading of the site in some browsers, unless opening a ticket with Police Technical Support outsourced overseas where one has to explain who or what is a Fidonet.

Whats left is a VERY simplified site with essentials only.

I go download bit by bit from other boards.

fill any that I don't have.

I hate people that do that. In Micronet, if I see someone doing that, I will ask them politely to stop. If they don't, I remove them from the network. Why should I bother being nice to you when you can't follow the rules? IMNSHO, it's these ancient "techno-dicks" that are Fidonet to collapse in on itself. It's why I put so much time and effort into Micronet: to prevent it from turning into Fidonet. A few have labeled me a "dictator". Damn right, I started my network to avoid pricks like them from ruining it like they did Fidonety. I could name names but we all know who I'm talking about.

That echo is dead lately and the odd time someone makes noise about the FG doesn't realise that an e-zine takes a lot of work to keep it interesting.

I have several of those "security companies" blocked by my BBS firewall due their incessant "scanning" to "improve the Internet".

Exactly what lead to my treasure-trove of Misc goodies being removed. I would of had to fight it out with them just to keep newcomers not getting browser warnings. Better to just take that stuff offline in the end.

Yeah, it looks like you're not getting the AP files any more. I've not
received one from my hub since 5th, I think it was.

I couldn't find the older ones that I was missing, but I have managed
to re-create them so they look pretty much identical to the ones we get
from Alan Ianson. He told me he only keeps 30 days and a search with
Google didn't help.

You're welcome to grab them from my BBS.

Thanks,
Nigel

It's not a Synchronet issue, it's a permissions issue. I have this echo
set to sysop only which I thought should be the case. If it's not open
to the public, it's not going to show up on the Synchronet webpage.

Don't blame you there. I was the victim of one of those "police" groups.
They scanned my BBS site and found programs that were compressed with
PKlite, etc. (by the original distributor) and/or that had some sort of
code encryption (to prevent hacking). So they blacklisted my site.

I blocked their IPA addresses and, unfortunately, "fixed" the file areas so that you have to be logged onto the BBS to see them.

I was given an web forum address to contact to fix the issue, but they only passed the buck on to someone else and added me to their newsletter email
list. :(

I still get those here, and keep about a year's worth in my file areas. While it doesn't look like I got one yesterday, I got one today, and all days before yesterday.

More than welcome to stop by and see if I have any you're missing.

It looks like APOD for 13th and 14th never made it so I'm just going to roll my own. There's obviously a breakdown in the file distribution network that needs to be investigated.
