i dont know why people run mystic. i guess they are told there's no other option and the author says it is a spiritual sucessor to rg and telegard. i loved rg and telegard and i don't find it as such.
i think people should check out elebbs or just run an older dos bbs software, but if they like running it, that's good.

My database shows 309 Synchronets and 219 Mystics.
You probably have the most accurate database I've ever seen.
So, I'm wrong it's not double but still close to 50% more...that's not insignificant.

I never ran Telegard but as far as Renegade I don't think it's the "spiritual successor" to rg either.
There are "bridge" programs out there that will give you telnet and stuff to the DOS BBS software. There are people who do it and there are times I think it's tempting, but you'd still lose a ton of stuff compared to Synchronet.

whenever i see a new bbs or one i havent heard of, it's a mystic one.
if there ARE more more synchronet bbses, these might be a holdout from the old days when someone would just install a synchronet bbs and let it rot.
it all depends on what you want.

Dragon probably has an accurate answer to that with the IPTIA database- a cursory look at the Synchronet BBS list shows 20+ new ones since the beggining of the year - the vast majority of those on the list are 3.18 or higher. If they were setup and letting them rot, I'd expect them not to keep up with the latest version.
Reguardless, good for their little poll, I just don't agree with it objectively :)

also bbses come and go. like bbses will disappear right after being on a list. and there's bbses that arent on any lists.
so who really knows.

if there ARE more more synchronet bbses, these might be a holdout from the old days when someone would just install a synchronet bbs and let it rot. back then there was a huge amount of synchronet systems.
