There is an infopack around, but you can download it from centralonatrioremote:2323 in the BluesNET file area.

It's a new network that I administer. It's only for musicians. BluesNET isn't on 'life support', but it could use an added injection of art discussion.
Bluesnet isn't for everyone.

Like I said, we already have MUSICALNET so why do we need another music dedicated network? Why don't you just use the
one we already have? I find this to be a pointless exercise other than some ego trip about
having your own network, I don't get it.

It seems to be the popular thing around BBSing to be condesending and negative.
FSXnet came about when there were already general nets that were "dead" and it's become very popular. It just depends how much effort one is willing to put into their net, the energy they put out either will
attract others or wont.
To be honest, the negativity in bbsing is more likely to drive people
away from the hobby, than keep everyone in existing nets or something. I've been at the point the last few weeks, where I'm considering just turning everything off and washing my hands of it all. The only thing
that stops me is the handful of friends I've made here, and I'd feel like I was letting down people who use my software.

However, this kind of response is strongly discouraged on fsxNet...

Anyway, good luck to mickey with his blues net.
This 'big fish in a little pond' mentality has been a 'thing' in the technology arena since Moses wore short pants. Having been a systems-developer/programmer for many decades (now retired), I've seen

Thanks man. Oh and by the way, you've certainly come a long way with
your ability to use FSX (and Fido)

Yeah, why don't we all just use Fidonet? The number of echomail areas is not limited.
Maybe everyone should create their own network and then we interlink
them to one global inter-FTN. Then we are all ego-trip equal.

I am interested in creating one, to see how it is done, but I have zero intention of making it public.
The "problem" is that people don't see the value in using BBS's over say, Reddit or Facebook. I think there ARE advantages, but the work needs to
be done in showing how a BBS format can bring about a community orientied Social Network, where we control what goes on, own the infrastructure,
have no advertising, etc.
You can have all the advantages without the inefficient user interface
of a BBS. If it doesn't have a website or app, it's not relevant
anymore. There are enough non-commercial decentralized distributed web based social networks and web forums. Why use BBS technology? Everyone needs images and videos ...

I've heard of Matrix, which is good for chat and messaging. Citadel,
which I know almost nothing about was almost mentioned.
Discussion threads and chat/messaging/group chat are the primary
features, but I'm looking at options where it can be a private hidden network.
Do you have any particular solutions in mind apart from these two?
I've heard of Matrix, which is good for chat and messaging. Citadel, which know almost nothing about was almost mentioned.
Matrix is chat with voice and video conference plugins. It's quite successful but a bit bloated for my taste.
Citadel is a bit old-school. I doubt you will attract many users. From a BBS perspective it is still interesting.
https://www.citadel.org/
Citadel is an all-in-one groupware solution which happens to have a telnet, ssh, and citadel-protocol interface. They also support IMAP and web frontends. IMO it is not something you set up when you want to interoperate with other BBS, but something you set up so your friends and you have a forum which also includes an email server and mailing lists if need be.
I wrote an article for it at ADMIN Magazine https://www.admin-magazine.com/Archive/2020/57/An-overview-of-the-Citadel- BBS

TBH, this kind of attitude is more indicative of experience than personality: only large scale collaborative projects carry the necessary mass to humble the human ego. Without exception, no man ever makes it alone; I can't think of a single project where I didn't rely upon the skills, talents, and resolve of truly brilliant people.
IMHO, it is often a mistake to know a man by his experiences alone, for
he is yet to know himself.
