Hi All,
This seems like a BBS where therre is actually people loggin on, and not just a static BBS for the sake of running a BBS :) Although that is ofcourse also very fun.
Is there anybody out here?

Greetings!

Yup, definitely a few of us on here. Normally I'm on here every day but it has been a busy week!

Hello from sunny Wales! Where in Belgium are you? I've been to Antwerp a couple of times.

Hi Bob!
So there is life here :-)
Yes, I'm from Antwerp, but big fan of UK computers. I have a Acorn RiscPC 600 and an Acorn 4000. just love the old RiscOS, back from the days when an OS got 40% faster, just by writing optimzed code!
Good to see people still run BBSses in these internet times!

Greetings!

Hi, Jokke.

Indeed :) I'm usually on Magnum a couple of times a day, there's a dude called Plume who plays the same games as I do (Wordle & Bubble Boggle - my favourite).
There's also a get-together on the multi-relay chat every Saturday evening, worth joining.

Wow - I think you're the first person I have met from outside the UK who even knows Acorn existed :) Well, actually there was a guy from New Zealand, but he grew up in the UK so that doesn't count! Funny considering ARM made it into *everything* we use these days.

Hope to hear more from you!

Heha - I regularly seem to log on at the same time as you, it says you're in one of the games but for some reason the Bubble Boggle "Talk Shit" option doesn't work. Maybe I should telegram you but I know how annoying it is to have your game messed up by a message saying "Hi!"...

Right now I'm away with work so I'm online at the wrong times and a couple of beers deep :)

Jokke - you don't work for Nokia by any chance, do you?

I have a couple of BBC Micros, but not an Acorn RiscPC.

Maybe I need to get one to add to my collection :)

You can also do one to one chats in the chat section :)

Pressing Control-P is a shortcut for chat options.
