    From Accession@VERT/PHARCYDE to fusion on Thu Feb 12 19:21:06 2026
    Hey fusion!

    On Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:11:00 +0000, you wrote:

    this is why i like the qwk setup better in some ways.. it doesn't really matter if systems go away because they just stop polling and their
    account gets pruned. if they come back, they create an account and are
    right back where they were.

    This can also be done via Areafix/Filefix from both the hub and downlink sides, but I see what you're saying. However, if the one hosting the QWK network goes down, we're right back to square one again. ;)

    With multi-node software running binkp, we could re-arrange networks
    quite easily. Fidonet could be one zone, I've thought. I always worry
    about how many nodes are on auto-pilot and would fall off the network
    if you made a "flag day" change. But, then again, were those nodes
    were contributing to the network?

    If those nodes somehow still have users (a few of us do), then they might
    be contributing something. The likelihood of that on an auto-pilot system
    is probably slim, though.

    Some people don't like single points of failure, that's all.. and for
    the record, it was an entire zone being censored.. not just "someone".
    You seem to be having a hard time keeping your facts straight lately,
    it seems. :|

    I was focused on othernets back in the day, didn't experience the
    heyday of Fido drama first-hand. We had our own dramas to deal with. If
    it was a whole network, that does make more sense.
