    and those prices.

    https://santronics.com/products/order/PrintPriceList.php


    and DM is just giving Synchronet away! A quick runthrough of that price list, the bare minimum to get the equivalent of what SBBS gives you is about $1250 and then $200 a year just for upgrades.
    that doesn't include support, game addons, wcBASIC, or any of the winserver stuff.

    what the actual fuck.

    And you have to go around like a jehova's witness and try to get
    Other people to pay for it like robert.

    It's the developer's right to charge for it if he wants to.
    I just wish they'd take off their dated and false claims off the web.

    That's ouragous, when you consider the market for BBS software is slim and the best packages are free.

    I can't believe they're still selling this garbage.

    I wonder how many people are actually buying Wildcat at those prices. I just did a quick check at the Telnet BBS Guide, and it says they have 27 BBSes using Wildcat. But it also says they hae 297 BBSes running Synchronet and 207 running Mystic, and others running a mix of other BBS packages.

    Also, the Telnet BBS Guide says they have 1023 BBSes in their list. Even considering the whole world, that's quite a bit more BBSes than I imagined there were. I wonder if some of them are no longer running though, and perhaps they haven't removed their BBS from the list..

    $129 if you have more than 2 nodes. Although I'm not sure what a node is. I'd be willing to bet most SysOps have more than 2 of whatever they consider nodes these days though.

    ...Any stigma is good enough to beat a dogma with.

    I imagine a node is the same as what it always was - a slot where a user can connect to the BBS. Even though most BBSes these days don't have dialup phone lines, BBS software still typically has a limited number of nodes that you can set up (maybe only for historical reasons though).

    They call those "lines" earlier in the price-list.

    youd be surprised. There is an active discord server that has quite a
    few of us on it.

    In this case it's the number of simultaneous users online at once. I
    started sat 2 the slowly upgraded to 16, but that was after I bought
    out anoy WINS Sysop's license from him when he shut down his system
    after at least a decade-long run.
