• WEBSITE TRIBUTE

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to ALL on Wed Jun 6 19:02:00 2018
    I've made The Thunderbolt BBS a hybrid system...with the ATI Red
    Theme, done by the late Tim Cornett, for the website (as I didn't care
    for the default web theme of Synchronet), and Synchronet for the telnet
    and FTelnet end of it.

    Tim passed away in early 2018, and he was a great help for me when I
    was running VADV32. I created an image of 3 pictures on the
    website...from left to right:

    1) Yours truly (the Sysop)
    2) My late wife, Janice E.H. Stout (the BBS is run in her memory).
    3) The late Tim Cornett (the website is run in his memory).

    It can be seen at http://wx1der.dyndns.org -- and I did include links
    to logon via FTelnet...and even info on "what a BBS is", for those who
    might stumble on the site by accident.

    I sent a copy of the image to Tim's widow, Diane...and she said "Nice
    job". :) Both of us wonderful memories of our spouses...that no one can
    take away.

    Morning Daryl

    Nice job, takes a lot to impress me!

    But I must say I'm impressed you did a great job with Tim's theme. How I miss him I could use his help on my upload/download troubles that no one on FB VBBS/VA site seems to help with.

    Back to the original topic, I like your work!

    Morning Daryl

    Good morning.

    Nice job, takes a lot to impress me!

    But I must say I'm impressed you did a great job with Tim's theme. How I miss H>him I could use his help on my upload/download troubles that no one on FB H>VBBS/VA site seems to help with.

    He was also very sarcastic...but as he and his (now widowed) wife
    noted, "We only pick on the ones we love".

    One night, we were on either Skype or Ventrilo, discussing issues (he
    was the teacher <G>), and I said "If I run into trouble, I can give him
    a ring"...meaning a phone call.

    I was instantly cut off by Tim, who said "Boy, you're a cheap date and
    a pervert. You're not my type, and want to go right to the wedding!!".
    He and his wife were roaring in laughter, and all I could say was "I am
    so RED!!". :P

    Back to the original topic, I like your work!

    Well, Tim showed me how to modify the Banner Exchange file. Originally
    when I set it up, it'd allow logins from the website, but it doesn't
    now, which is just as well. I do provide an FTelnet link below the
    networks listing...plus a listing for someone who may not know what a
    BBS really is. I couldn't get the door scores to display, so I just took
    them off the website. Besides, users can view them in the Online
    Bulletins Viewer door...that's one of the few available for New,
    Unverified, or Guest callers.

    His wife (now widow) Diane, was going to recreate a lightning bolt
    animation that I lost awhile back...but I told her, with the picture of
    myself (as Sysop), my late wife (which the BBS is run in memory of), and
    Tim Cornett (which the website is run in memory of), it keeps his legacy
    alive.
