    i thought you were the sysop because so many people (239) on that bbs
    have the sysop's ip address and weird last one dates going back to 1995.

    go into your msg settings and set the pointer date.

    He does not know. I have a few that only log in a couple times a month and read messages. Digital man explained about websocket reflecting my ip instead of some of the callers ip. I don't plan on fixing it because I am not sure it is
    a problem. A lot of the user list here may go back before 1995. Lol. We have been around a long time. Do you run a BBS? I am not sure how to keep my group from replying to your posts. Hopefully it will not be that many. I hope you have a good week.

    i thought that too but when i went on your bbs via the web telnet app
    it didn't have the same results. that's the first thing i checked.

    you were running synchronet back then?

    you can put a call to this baja script in whatever new user

    Good morning MRO!
    I started on a CoCo2 running Colorama BBS software, then went to RBBS-PC for a number of years, then to PowerBBS for a year then over to Synchronet in the mid 90's. Do you run a BBS? Thanks for asking! I enjoy talking about the old days of BBS. I have no further answers on the Websocket issue you are having. That is is a question for the programmers that created the software. I appreciate your investigation. I feel honored! Have a great day my friend.
