In the '90 I ran an XBBS system on a 486 and SCO Xenix and a
second dialup line. When I could get affordable direct Internet
access it was sort of the end of running a BBS.
I find it interesting that the Fido-net is still around. Now
trying to figure out what software/tools to use today. I remeber
that I used to find PCBoard BBSes and RelayNews(RIME) was popular
for tech types in the Jacksonville areas of North Florida.

RelayNet has been gone a while. Most networks that survived were FTN or
QWK based networks and not those based on proprietary software.

Relaynet was good for a while but it kind of drizzled out.
On a funny note, I was actually YELLED at for quoting on relaynet.

Ironic considering some of the goings on here in Dovenet lately. ;)
We don't quote on purpose, You and your brother and your OCD on quoting is way over the top.
yeah maybe these no quoters can create their own msg network where it
only makes sense to the one guy posting.

I don't really understand this.. In a text-based environment, it can be difficult to follow the conversation if you don't quote what you're responding to. If the reader doesn't remember what you're responding to, they'd have to go back over who knows how many messages to find the message you're responding to. Also, if you're only responding to a small section of the message, it can be especially good to quote just that part of the message.
It's just good etiquette. If you don't quote, then you shouldn't be surprised to get negative responses about it, or no responses at all.

Believe they already have something like that in place in Fidonet in the Telegram related echo. Funny though, it's now just as dead as the rest of the echos there. Whoda thunkit?

it must look weird on the fido side.
does your bbs carry it?

the traffic used to come from Telegram users. If they responded to a
recent message, it was not too difficult to follow. If they responded to a post that was days old (or older), I usually had no idea what they were talking about and just skipped it. Others complained, and people
eventually quit posting.
I don't carry the Telegram echo, but do carry LITRPG where a whole lot of the traffic used to come from Telegram users. If they responded to a

No. I don't have much interest in one line posts, personal updates on what people are doing right this second, or where someone is eating, currently.
But it seems as though a few places carry it:
echotag: FIDONET.TELEGRAM

So there's a Fido TELEGRAM echo and fido echoes ported to Telegram
groups? I suppose I'm old-school, I prefer to talk about platforms on
the platform in question.

To me, BBSing has been about long-form posting - it's a place to write
well thought out responses in more than 140 characters. Porting Fido to Telegram is interesting, and it fills a missing niche of FTN on a phone.
If you're looking for a Fido "fix" on a phone, the gated telegram groups
are nice. Posting from Telegram to Fido loses something - people occasionally post image memes which is relevant to a microblogging
audience, but all a Fido reader sees is an image URL.
