    How about zoom calls? They are not working for me since Saturday. I had an important conference to present https://chi-nese.com/ but it did not work.

    The state capital of Kentucky is Frankfort. It has been the capital since Kentucky became a state in 1792. Frankfort is located in the central part of the state, on the Kentucky River. It is the fourth smallest state capital in the United States, with a population of about 28,000 people.

    Frankfort is a beautiful city with a lot to offer visitors. The Kentucky State Capitol is a stunning building, and there are many other historical sites in the city, such as the Old State Capitol, the Mary Todd Lincoln House, and the Locust Grove Plantation. Frankfort is also home to a number of museums, including the Kentucky Historical Society Museum, the Kentucky State Museum, and the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft.

    If you're looking for a charming and historic city to visit in Kentucky, Frankfort is a great option. https://vidmateapp.cfd/

    How do you deal with such issues as sysops of individual boards and or FTN networks? You find a rogue BBS and cut it off the network?

    No one's spammed networks intentionally, as far as I know.
    Misconfigurations or liberal configurations seem to be the culprit.

    It used to be you could have some faith that things you posted on BBSes
    stayed on the networks - but too many people have allowed access to
    their message bases via the web and they've been crawled by Google and
    other search indexes.

    In all fairness, I've needed to look up a Synchronet issue that I know
    was discussed, and I'll google it - even though there's a copy of the
    very message I'm looking for on my system. There is some advantage.

    I can confirm that most of what this bot says is true, although I am pretty sure that link is going to take you somewhere other than the local tourism bureau. :)

    Also, Locust Grove is in the Louisville area, about an hour NW of
    Frankfort, and I think the Mary Todd Lincoln House is actually in
    Lexington, about 45 minutes SE.

    I think it's mostly BBSes with web interfaces. Often they default to
    making areas available to unauthenticated users.

    I make my local areas available online to guests, and make the networked
    echoes require you to log in to the web interface to see.

    Ohhh, yea. Maybe an alternative could be posting a message emails it to the sysop so they can verify it? Since there's probably not that many people posting under guest it would be managable I think.

    Well, actually yea. It's been almost 30 years since I ran a bbs.. and then it was a Renegade system in Fido.. As this one is running under FreeBSD 13, and a totally different bbs system, different acl settings, etc.. So, yea, I'm guessing a bit here and there still.

    you can tell by the tagline. it shows what bbs it came from usually.
    then if you are a sysop you can use the operator commands to list where it's from. look at my image to see what i mean.
