    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF to All on Sun Oct 26 23:45:49 2025
    hello, are there any sites that are doing bbsnews?

    i tried doing it for years but nobody would contribute and it was
    like a job running bbsnews.org

    i'm sure it was the same for my predecessors.

    i think i did a pretty good job but i got burnt out and
    took everything down and bbsnews was a casualty.

    i like the x-bit.org feed https://x-bit.org/rss/rss.xml

    i think they do a good job to aggregate bbs related news.
    But i have added their feed to my Newscenter.

    Never heard of it.

    I suppose some people decided to build bbsnews stories on
    facebook - which I think is a terrible outcome.

    I doubt there is much to report anyway. No one wants to
    contribute to Fidonews either.

    Yes.. RSS-style is pretty good. Easy yo subscribe to, and get
    headsup on story headlines.

    it goes way back. pcmike used to run it and other people also.

    i'm still not a fan of fidonet or the people that are on it and keep it running.

    i 'd say, as long as you link the source it should be ok. Everyone coming to your site, could still grab the rss feed and put it into their own feed reader.
