Synchronet Onliner Wall has been down for a bit.
I think echicken is the hub for the oneliner wall if I remeber right. Hopfully he can fix it soon:)

Usually, he's on IRC and I can ping him when OneLinerz stops. I checked
there yesterday, someone said they were going to look for EC on Discord...

Looks like echickens BBS is also down, Look's like MRO's userclub BBS is also down.

IIRC there are a few other EC doors that "ping" his system for info.

I wonder what it would take to set up an alternative for folks to point to?

Not completely sure, as I don't use any of those "inter-bbs" things, for
this very reason. Intermittent availability and I honestly don't see
the point of it, at least for myself.

I guess another board/server could be another "hub" that boards could
exchange data with, if that location/address could be propogated and
systems could reconfigure to use it instead of EC's...

I wonder what it would take to set up an alternative for folks to point to?

There are a couple alternatives to consider:

IBOL (Inter-BBS One-Liners): This was a Mystic-only mod originally, but there's also a Synchronet version which Apam wrote and I took over with his permission. It passes the one-liners through fsxNet's FSX-DAT echo. You view and post one-liners locally on your board, and then they sync up with other boards after you poll your hub, which means it doesn't have the single point of failure which the EC OneLiners mod has. You can grab it from the file area on my BBS or lots of other BBSes (including Vert).

BBSlink Graffiti Wall: If you happen to already be set up on BBSlink, then this is another option. Grab it from the BBSlink website:

If you want to get technical here (and no offense intended), if any of the net "hubs" went down (3 or 4 of them?), there would still be points of failure. FSX is still a "top-down" heirarchy, there are just more than one system involved at the top, whereas EC's stuff starts and ends there. Basically the same concept, though.

This would also be a single point of failure. However, I've had BBSLink for quite some time and he's very stable as far as I've witnessed.

It is what it is. You're always bearing a risk relying on someone else's stability when connecting to other systems for "inter-bbs" anything. I'll usually give anything I would be interested in a try, and if I notice the stability is terrible, I'll disconnect from it.

The kinda ironic thing is i believe he made this because frank linhares'
stuff was disappearing on and off.

maybe they should make a mod that uses sbbsdata on dovenet.

Hosting your own wall

If you'd prefer to host your own wall, just leave the 'settings.ini' file in your 'xtrn/oneliners/' directory as-is.

If you want other people to be able to connect to your wall, you'll need to ensure that the JSON-DB service is enabled on your BBS, and that the port that you choose for it is open and forwarded to your BBS. To enable the JSON-DB service (if you haven't already,) add the following section to your 'ctrl/services.ini' file:

[JSON-Service]
Port=10088
Options=STATIC|LOOP
Command=json-service.js

You'll also need to add the following to your 'ctrl/json-service.ini' file:

[oneliners]
dir=../xtrn/oneliners/

but then it would be dependant on the hub

Well, yes and no (and no offense taken). With IBOL, the local mod still runs and displays and accepts wall posts just fine regardless of the state of the hub. Then once the hub comes back online, any new posts get exchanged during polling. The user doesn't know (or care) that some other system is down.

With the EC OneLiners, if EC's board is down, the mod won't work at all because it's trying to connect in real time to something that isn't there. I've seen it take a long time (a minute or more) to time out in such cases, doing nothing but display a black screen. Most users aren't that patient and assume the board isn't working right and hang up.

That's the single point of failure I'm talking about.

Sometimes I have to start what I write with something like that, or it may seem like I'm being sarcastic or insulting when I'm not (see tagline). :)

I've never used either, so I didn't realize the difference. Could (or is) the above even used with multiple "hubs" that can still connect to each other? Or is there still one designated hub that everyone chooses to connect to?

Yeah, I see what you mean.
