hey all,

just joined this tribe and i noticed that the last post was in july of 2006.. so here goes..

i used to run a board in the 609 area code back in the day.. i was an obv/2 freak at heart.. i ran mostly an art based board and also started and created insanity net -- a FIDO based mesage board that was pushed from the east coast to the west coast..

anyways, i have been feeling some kind of way lately about the sharp decline in bbs's since the boom of the internet.. i still have a passion for DOS based ANSI/ascii art and i since this feeling has pretty much taken over me the past few years, i just wanted to announce that i will soon be releasing an obv/2 clone that is going to be completely rewritten for modern technology and the internet.. i started working on the code this week and i already have the base network code complete..

yes, telnetting to my own box and seeing some nice ANSI and ascii art still gives me a chill down my spine.. oooooo lord i can't wait until the initial release..

so, here is a new topic to keep everyone's interest peaked.. if you have any questions or if you'd like to donate some time/code to the project, let me know..

so again, be on the look out for obv/2 .NET to be released soon.. i am writing it in C# on the .NET 2.0 platform using visual studio 2005..

so if there are any C# developers out there who might be interested, drop me a line ;)
