#sysop
As a transgender ZZT-obsessed former sysop, I had to put A/S/L by @jeannethornton.bsky.social down after two chapters, get a cup of coffee, and literally just go walk into a forest. You're cutting deep, Jeanne. To the bone. Going to just stare at a tree for an hour.

On e a sysop always a sysop :)
Really great times, I kept them as they gave me so much pleasure plus the added joys of beta testing them (after backing the whole system up of course :)
Online door games also. The excitement of your first overseas caller :))

The legend of ISCA sysop Heath going to an ice cream parlor and spotting a sign that read "for 35 cents more Heath comes on your sundae"

Hey it's time for today's random #Netrunner card! Daniela Jorge Inácio is a Jinteki sysop who... used to be a Runner, by th elooks of things! The merch on her shelves and desk hints at the kind of crowd she used to run with, and her ability indicates that she knows how to hit runners where it hurts.

Possibly the funniest part of today has been my sysop friend who says they did not post in major incident chat about how nicely everything on-prem is doing.

Truly heroic self-control.

The late 80s and early 90s were an absolutely marvelous time of blowing whistles into phones and dialing up into who knows what. I was a Co-Sysop of a BBS!

Good times.
"Want to Know More About the AWS Outage?" No, I do not. I hope it never comes back and we all have to go back to forums or even BBSs.

I was a sysop on a CompuServe BBS called "The Lazy Dragon". My handle was "Duke of Drat". 1982. Feels like another life.

I love when the sysop of the obvious sim we live in sneaks in little bits of comedic relief
TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

I’ve been online in some form for something close to forty years and we really still haven’t figured out moderation any better than the single-sysop dial-up BBSes did (which is to say, we haven’t figured it out at all)

Hello #TextMode SysOps! I noticed a lot of new BBS this month but most have default menus! Ew!

Do you need #ANSIart graphics for your menus, games, or fileid.diz packs? I'm not asking for money but I want to support the #BBS scene and continue to see it grow; Make new #SysOp friends even!

DM ME!

Digging through the archives, Here is some more #ANSIart I made for #HypernodeBBS using #CP437. Still working toward getting the board back online, but until then I’ll keep posting these pieces. Some may even return later as #MysticBBS doors or mods.

I've never run anything near as large as this platform, but I was a sysop in the 90's and have continued to be a board or group admin on some level or another ever since, and this is kinda the only moderation approach I have found that keeps little despots from emerging.

My father was a BBS Sysop in the 80's of a 2-node PCBoard BBS for a database programmer user group in Atlanta. I was raised as a kid on local BBS's, and even made friends that I still have today from those early days online.

Thank you, Ward Christensen.

This is what I did as a BBS SysOp back in the 1990s. Misbehaving users lost different aspects of their access piecemeal instead of all together, and it was very effective

I haven't seen the word "sysop" in a long, long time...

My back hurts.

How old are you in internet years without telling your age?

I met my first serious girlfriend on a dial-up BBS devoted to turn-based descriptive text space battles moderated in real time by a sysop.
how old are you in internet years without telling your age?

my first hookup was with somebody who was a fan of my submissions on a website dedicated to sharing, rating and ranking AIM away messages
