Firstly, this only really applies to anyone using Mystic A47+ and the XQ-Weather door, there’s part of the door that allows you to scroll through some weather stats using the Mystic ANSI viewer however since A47 Mystic uses a new ansi viewer, and the configuration is done now with an ini file. So save time, here’s the link to a default ini file modified to work with xq-weather.

What is a BBS for? What could I use it for?

Reading and contributing to public messages about any topic you care for; Commonly a BBS will be connected to one or more FTN networks, that is, networks that push out echomail (and often files) to any system attached to them, in a similar way to the old usenet message and binaries groups used to be. For me personally, I like to read messages in the various message bases, sometimes I will reply or create a topic of my own, but for the most part I read more than I say.

What is a BBS? Aside from the software that is, what is it and why is it?

To me, a BBS (unless it’s supposed to be commercial) is a personal thing, and should exist just because YOU want it and/or need it. Having other visitors use it also is a bonus.

If you want to make it a place others want to visit regularly, make it unique, make it exciting, the visitors will come.
