Same exact vendor posts in 3+ different forum areas - is this really necessary?

[Ryunker]

I got to a point about 8 months ago where I just overlook that stuff as I have learned have zero interest.

Consideration of circumstances plays a part

My point still stands. It's annoying AF.

Yea, I'll probably just 'ignore' any accounts that post the same exact messages 3+ times in a row. Problem solved.

Heads up it’s global.

I'm well aware of that. I ran a popular discussion forum using vBulletin going all the way back to the mid 2000's.

Thanks.

Ah the days of bbs and ‘true’ newsgroups (nntp)

Ah the days off bbs and ‘true’ newsgroups.

No, no. vBulletin was/is web-based discussion forums. Commercialization of the Interwebz and products like vBulletin is what helped to usher in the end of the (awesome) BBS days ...

My years as a SysOp of a multi-line, FIDO-enabled BBS started back in 1990 and lasted through 1996. I ran T.A.G. BBS software mostly. Ran Maximus on Linux and OS/2 for short while, too.

Np, i go back to the days of ‘The Major BBS’, ‘PCBoard’, and ‘Searchlight’, back when it was a big deal having ‘two’ lines coming into the house, just make sure call waiting wasn’t enabled on the line though.

I ran T.A.G. multi-line under DESQview/MS-DOS, and then Maximus multi-line under Linux. IIRC, I had six or seven phone lines coming to the house during the board's heyday.

I recall that other BBS software, and many more. I don't remember why, but I hated Searchlight. T.A.G. was an offshoot from WWIV.

Remember Computer Shopper (magazine)? That thing was as thick as a phone book!
