+keen... and while killing time, he opted to pen this amazing update after
+doing some BBSing and fsxNet admin. Not sure if this should stay in the
+history.txt file... but it's true the guy was hungry at the time of writing

+Updated Node 1/107 The ByteXchange BBS has been marked as 'Down' in the
+                nodelist.
+Updated Node 1/167 CyberBBS WHQ BBS the domain name has been updated to
+                 whq.cyberbbs.dev
+Updated Node 1/105 Fluph BBS the domain name on file fails to resolve but
+                 the IP address 47.223.172.117 does work. The nodelist has
+                 been updated to reflect this.
+Added a new item in fsxnet.txt in 'Housekeeping' this is to address how
+nodes being de-listed from the network are managed. As a general rule of
+thumb if your BBS/system has packets/files held for it at your assigned HUB
+longer than 45+ days then it will be up for being de-listed. There's also
+some guidance about how to 'gracefully' depart the network.
+The text added is as follows:
+Members will be de-listed from the network if their BBS/system has
+packets/files held for it at their assigned fsxNet HUB for 45+ days.
+A HUB admin may extend this grace period at their discretion. If you are
+having technical issues please contact your HUB admin and/or the Network
+Coordinator so they are aware of your issues.
+If you decide to leave fsxNet please de-link your BBS/system from all echomail
+and file areas before you depart. This ensures packets/files are not being
+held at the HUB for your system needlessly. Please also contact your HUB
+admin and let them know you are leaving. This allows our admin team to
+remove you from their HUB config, the fsxNet nodelist and systems.txt

+In their place a new echomail area FSX_LFE has been created. It has a

+Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports etc.
+I encourage  sysops to delink and remove from their BBS the echomail
+areas that are closing in advance of 10 May 2023. By that date
+all remaining nodes still connected to the retiring echomail areas will be
+manually delinked from them by your HUB admin.
+-04-30
+It has been almost two years since new echomail areas were added to fsxNet.
+Here are the details from history.txt posted back on 25 May 2021.
+[snip]
+-05-25

+Echomail Areas Closing
+======================
+Today I am announcing changes to the echomail areas carried on fsxNet.
+To start with we will consolidate down several echomail areas created
+in 2021 into one new echomail area.
+The following echomail areas are to be retired and will close down
+effective 10 May 2023
+FSX_ESP              Espanol General Chat
+FSX_DIY              D.I.Y Chat, Tips + Tricks

+FSX_ARTS             Arts + Artistic Chat
+FSX_TRANSPORT        Transportation Chat (All Modes)
+FSX_SPORTS           Sports Chat
+Introducing FSX_LFE
+===================
+In their place a new echomail area FSX_LFE has been created. It has a
+'Lifestyle' focus and acts as a catch-all for topics including Gardening, DIY,
+Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports etc.
+From fsxnet.txt
+[snip]
+FSX_LFE   Lifestyle - There's lots of ways to enjoy life! This echo covers
+          many different lifestyle topics including (but not limited to)
+          Gardening, DIY, Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports, Pets,
+          Health & Fitness etc. Dive in, lets chat :)
+[snip]
+Getting Ready For This Change
+=============================
+From today I will start to remove the retiring echomail areas from fsxnet.na
+and other online listings that detail echomail areas in fsxNet. I will also
+post announcements in all affected echomail areas signalling their pending
+closure and the new FSX_LFE 'Lifestyle' echo.
+Also, from today, new nodes joining fsxNet will not be offered a feed of
+the echomail areas soon to close.
+I encourage fsxNet sysops to delink and remove from their BBS the echomail
+areas that are closing in advance of 10 May 2023. By that date
+all remaining nodes still connected to the retiring echomail areas will be
+manually delinked from them by your HUB admin.
+If you opt to retain the retired echomail areas on your BBS for posterity
+after 10 May 2023 that is your call, but please ensure they are set as
+'read only' for your users.
+I also encourage current fsxNet sysops to look for and subscribe to the new
+FSX_LFE echomail area which has now been added to the fsxnet.na file and
+created at your fsxNet HUB :)
+New Echomail Areas Coming
+=========================
+Yes, further echomail areas are planned to be added. I will be in touch by
+separate post with some details in the coming weeks. More to follow :)
+This message has been x-posted to FSX_GEN and FSX_NET please post any
+further discussion on this topic in FSX_NET

+-10-26
+Created FSX_TST  Test messages and other experimentation is welcome here!
+                 Messages using the subject of 'Test' *should* receive an

+                 magically with reports too. Your mileage may vary. Offer
+                 is not available at Vanda Station.
+Created FSX_ADS  BBS and NETwork Ads. Run a BBS you want to tell the world
+                 about? Use a roBOT or manually post your BBS ASCII / ANSI
+                 ads here. Please don't post the same thing more than once a
+                 week (7 days). Let's keep it 'minty fresh' - too much of the
+                 same thing usually ends in a diet :)

+                 about echomail area stats, BBS mailer traffic and gateway
+                 activity. FTN network stats / reports are also posted here.

+                 horoscopes better :)
+Created FSX_FIL  File Announcements. I like files, you like files, we all
+                 like files! This echoarea contains roBOT posts covering files
+                 received by fsxNet member BBS or files hatched from fsxNet
+                 HUBS to the wider community.
+With the creation of the new echoareas there have been some tweaks to the
+descriptions and usage of existing echomail areas. Please note the following
+updated info for these echos:
+FSX_BOT - We welcome non-human roBOT output here. Gated or original content
+          (e.g. weather, telemetry, entertainment etc.) lives here. BBS ads
+          (FSX_ADS) , echomail stats (FSX_STA) or file announcements (FSX_FIL)
+          live elsewhere.

+          Al igual que FSX_GEN, es una discusión general que abarca muchos
+          temas. Mensajes de prueba y otros experimentos son bienvenidos.
+Sub domain aliases have been created for NET 1-5 using the fsxnet.nz domain

+been updated accordingly.

+Mystic BBS turns 20 years young!
+I just wanted to note the efforts of author James Coyle aka g00r00 who today
+posted in fsx_mys his thanks for everyones interest and involvement in his
+Mystic BBS project that has been running for the last 20 years. Think on
+that for a moment - 20 years!
+It's no mean feat to sustain an interest in something for so long and
+continue to develop it with the same levels of passion and excitement that
+first spurred the interest to do so all those years ago.
+For me coming back in to the BBSing scene around 2013 and coming across Mystic
+was a welcome sign to me that the scene was not dead and that there was much
+fun to be had with the old hobby/interest that I had last dabbled in in
+back in 1994.
+In 2017 there are a number of BBS platforms under active development. We're
+lucky to have a bunch of talented people active in fsxNet who continue to
+contribute their skills and passions to the vibrancy of the BBS scene
+by creating new BBS software, doors, utils, ANSI art etc.
+James is certainly one of those people. On behalf of all of the users,
+sysops, tinkerers, wannabe coders, debuggers who love to test and find
+stuff that may be broken (or not :)) and everyone in between playing in the
+BBS scene. Thank you James for you continued contribution to our collectively
+enjoyed hobby, it's really appreciated.
+Updates to HUBs 1/100 2/100 3/100
+Today I have been working on updating the software on all fsxNet HUBS active
+at present. They are now all in sync and use the same version of Mystic BBS.
+Which at the time of writing this is 1.12 A37 pre-alpa version 2017/12/13
+At the same time of doing these updates I have changed the way netmail is
+routed between the HUBs. In short the rules to deliver netmail between NETs
+has been updated to prevent a circular loop occurring where undeliverable
+netmail could end up bouncing between various NETs. I have also established
+direct links between NET 2 and NET 3 to speed up delivery of netmail where as
+before this, all netmail between NET 2 and NET 3 was routed via NET 1
+I am now also starting to look at establishing a NET 4 to accommodate ongoing
+growth experienced with new nodes joining fsxNet. The thinking being not
+wanting to have HUB with large numbers of nodes (70+) attached and instead
+add more HUBs serving smaller numbers (30-40) of nodes. If we do opt to fully
+mesh all the HUBs for echomail traffic, whilst it would generate a fair
+amount of DUPE traffic between the HUBs it would also help to build greater
+redundancy and resilience across the wider fsxNet. Well that's what I think
+would happen - but you're feedback and thoughts are most welcome :)
+Welcome new nodes :)

+fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping (continued)
+More twists and turns in this episode of 'know your ever changing
+nodelist' :)
+Added Node 1/136   force9 BBS (GBR) Dave has contacted me. He is away on
+                   holiday but plans to look in to any issues with his BBS
+                   when he gets back. He confirms he does not want to be
+                   deleted. So I have re-instated his node number.
+                   Hopefully we can get packets flowing again in the coming
+                   weeks. Look for his test posts :)
+Added Node 1/180   Logon BBS (GER) Oliver has also been in touch and is
+                   working on getting his Raspberry Pi back up and running
+                   again. He has some Internet issues by the sounds of it but

+                   I have reinstated his node number.
+Removed Node 1/168 The Egregore BBS (USA) Luke and I have been chatting via

+                   advised he can't find his VM! So for now he's asked to be
+                   removed. I have delisted his node number.
+-09-09
+fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping
+I have begun to prune the nodelist after waiting a week to gauge replies and
+responses to my attempts to contact nodes flagged for attention on Sept 2nd.
+Some systems have contacted me and I am working with them to try and sorts
+any issues. Others have been silent so they are being pruned from the
+nodelist for now.
+They are (as always) welcome to re-apply and rejoin but I am not going to
+store traffic at 21:1/100 for a node that may reappear or may not.
+Removed Node 1/167 SilentShard BBS (NZL) Nick has contacted me and confirmed
+                   his system is down for now. He may reapply again in the
+                   future when he has more time to run a system.
+Removed Node 1/136 force9 BBS (GBR) No reply from Dave to hailing freqs so

+Removed Node 1/155 Gerlach BBS (SVK) Dominik advises he's time poor and

+Removed Node 1/142 SmokyThing BBS (USA) there has been no contact with

+Removed Node 1/150 Southend BBS (Denmark) I have not heard from Lars in

+                   well. I have tried to contact him and poll his system
+                   but have struck out on both counts. His node has been
+                   delisted.

+                   to be successful and there is no reply from his BBS at the
+                   last known ddns.net domain name. Node has been delisted.
+There are still some nodes I am chasing up to confirm if they are going to
+reconnect to fsxNet or if the sysop is not going to do anything soon to do so.
+Some may still be removed if a firm track of proposed activity is not
+demonstrated in a timely fashion.
+I am also working to identify a few nodes that I know are running and polling
+/100 correctly but for some reason(s) their known domain names are not
+resolving and allow the HUB to poll them. I'll write about that in a separate
+update when this round of NET 1 nodelist admin concludes.
+-09-02
+fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping
+The following NET 1 systems have been flagged for potential deletion due to

+Created FSX_BBS -  BBS software development and support. This echoarea also
+                   hosts fsxNet Wiki (wiki.bbs.geek.nz) discussions and
+                   support.
+                   With the creation of the fsxNet Wiki it seems appropriate
+                   to have a public space to discuss ideas for possible new
+                   Wiki content, edits to current content, editor requests,
+                   questions about what is on the Wiki etc. My hope is that
+                   as the content on the Wiki grows, this echo area will
+                   support that growth as a place for discussions about it.
+                   A reminder that there was an orignal FSX_BBS created
+                   as a file echo. It was changed to FSX_SOFT on 2016-09-10
+                   as part of a renaming convention to decern between message
+                   base echoarea tags and file base tags file area tags are
+                   always four characters long where as message tags are
+                   three. e.g. FSX_BBS vs FSX_SOFT
+                   Who said you didn't learn anything when you read these
+                   updates :) .. and no lamas were harmed in the making of

+## Happy New Year - Best wishes for 2017 and your BBSing adventures ahead ##
+Created - NET 2 -  The start of a creating new access points for fsxNet
+                   traffic. New nodes to the network will be added to NET 2
+                   which is now served by a new HUB at 21:2/100
+Created - HUB 2 -  The Tholian HUB has been established at 21:2/100.
+                   This new HUB will serve nodes in NET 2. Big thanks to
+                   Solaris at Error 404 for establishing this new Mystic
+                   powered system :)  The HUB can be found at
+                   error404bbs.ddns.net:24555
+Updated - fsxNet Nodelist
+I've made some changes to the nodelist that reflect the addition of the new
+NET and HUB. Instead of creating new 'Regions' I have opted to stick with one
+for now (Region 21 - was Region 1).
+I have also revised things and now assigned 'Host' notation to the what are
+now NET 1 and 2. They fly the 21:1/0 and 21:2/0 AKA's held by each net
+coordinator. HUB addresseing remains as 21:xx/100 and HUBs send/recieve
+all traffic with CRASH priority between them as echomail etc. is generated
+around fsxNet. So HUBs fly at /0 and /100 AKA's for their respective NETs.
+Also changed is the flag notation used against each node in the nodelist.
+I have tried to ensure flags used are current and comply with the Fidonet
+Technical Standards Committee document FTSC-5001. Copies of this document
+are available from http://www.ftsc.org/docs/ if you are interested :)
+Further, the epiloge in the nodelist has been paired right back to remove the
+unwanted and/or non-relevant nodelist flags. A brief nod to the URL mentioned
+above remains for interested sysops etc. if they want more info.
+Updated - HISTORY.TXT - notation tweaks.
+I am working to keep this document as easy to read as I can and due to the
+new NET (and more to come) I have made minor changes to layout and notation
+of this file and will do so in the future. You'll see this in new nodes
+being added, removed etc.

+Removed - GOODIP.TXT - I can see how this is going to get out of date quite

+                    I think for now I am going to remove the list from the
+                    infopack. I think it's a good idea but I need to think
+                    through how to best implement it in a way that ensures
+                    it's current. I just don't have the time to maintain it
+                    manually.

+Renamed - FSX_ART to FSX_ARTS - ANSI Art - Groups, Individuals etc.
+Renamed - FSX_BBS to FSX_SOFT - BBS Software (Current + Legacy)
+Two of the file bases have been renamed to accomodate a new standardised
+naming convention I am applying to fsxNet.
+All message echoareas will use a FSX_XXX convention while all file bases
+carried by the NET will use a FSX_XXXX style of tag.
+The thinking here is to make it simple to spot a file base tag from a
+echoarea/ message base tags. I also wanted to pull some current FSX_XXX
+tags off their currently assigned file bases should we end up using them
+for echoareas in the future.
+So - if you are carrying one (or both) of the following file areas can you
+please ammend the EchoTag for each in your BBS setup as follows.
+FSX_ART to FSX_ARTS
+FSX_BBS to FSX_SOFT
+No files will be hatched to these areas until Saturday 17 September (NZST)
+this gives folks a week (at minimum) to update their tags / settings.
+Created - FSX_CRY - Cryptographic discussion and experimentation.
+                    Public key sharing, encoded messages, testing etc.
+                    is welcome here.
+An area of interest for some members of the NET. This is a place to
+further this type of discussion and experimentation.
+Created - NEWS.TXT - this is a news file that will carry info about
+changes to fsxNet and is intended for future use as part of another
+project that's underway. Details to come when there is more to share.

+                   USA. He is just working out how to configure his system

+Two new echoarea have been added to fsxNet. All nodes have been connected to

+-09-02
+Removed - FSX_NETS - BBS Networks, Infopacks, Nodelists file base.
+Renamed - FSX_NODE - Weekly Nodelists (fsxNet, etc.)
+Renamed - FSX_INFO - Weekly Infopacks (fsxNet, etc.)
+I am starting to cut down and rationalise some of the file areas on the NET.
+Contents posted to this area will be migrated to FSX_INFO and FSX_NODE so that
+both of those file bases carry not just fsxNet infopacks and nodelists but
+also the equivalent files for other NETs. I figure this is a smarter way to
+use the file bases. And I really want to support other NETs.
+The added upside of this is that if you are using Mystic to import nodelists
+for a [MergeNodelists] MUTIL activity then you can start to point all of your
+nodefile=\path\to\nodelist statements to the same file base :)
+Update - Usenet Newsgroups
+I'm experimenting with using net 2 as a means to distribute Usenet
+newsgroups to nodes that want a bi-directional FTN<>NNTP gateway.
+Using 21:2/xxx addresses may be the way to do this. Have addded some new
+nodes to help with testing that will start soon. Still a work in progress.
