Read MoreThe Fone Company BBSes will be back
Both the Color 64 and Supra 128 BBSes will be back, likely over Memorial Day weekend 2021. As with the best laid plans, time has not allowed me to give them the attention I would like.
Read MoreTFC BBSes down 10/29-11/9
Well, crap. A tropical storm came through and messed things up for both BBSes on October 29th. And it took me until today to realize it. Still, both BBSes are back. Supra is still as it was and Color 64 is about to go through the promised “big reset” but this being 2020 it has…
Read MoreNot Dead! (2020 1st Edition)
Hey there and Happy New Year! (a month and a half too late). Been busy with things and stuff (life and work). On the Color 64 side we will soon be shelving all of our hard work and starting over from scratch. You read that right, from a plain-Jane version of Color 64 Version 7.37.…
Read MoreWe got spammed
Sadly someone found a way around the bulletproof (?) security and flooded the system with Asian-language messages. We rolled back to September 27th and removed a bunch of fake accounts. We may have gotten a few real ones in there so if we did I apologize. Please re-register. I have been busy with other work…
Read MoreTFC Supra 128 currently crashed
It appears The Fone Company Supra 128 flavor is crashed and unfortunately the custodian is unable to restore it, as below is the current SysOp’s view. It WILL be back in the PM of 8/6 (EDT). And the issue behind the crash will contribute to Supra 128 v4.2.? Thank you for giving a shit!

Not everything rebooted smoothly. But they are up now at tfcbbs.com:6400 (Supra 128 version) and tfcbbs.com:6464 (Color 64 version).

The infamous TFC message editor. Once I get it working with the stock system. And fix the spacing with /b. Maybe change it to /f. Or /* because it’s fabulous.

Read MoreTFC returns on Color 64 BBS!
A few weeks ago I picked up a Commodore 64 from a local guy. I was planning on putting up another BBS with it. After I opened it I saw that the 64 kernel was soldered on, not socketed. And not being that great with a soldering iron I took it to a guy to…
