    Hello Daniel,

    Most bbs time is spent on the bottomless abyss bbs and, lately, I've
    been doing rounds on other boards where I have memberships. Some
    synchronet boards have a 'forum' that, upon examination, are styled like
    web forums where you go into a topic, select a post, and the original
    message is listed with all replies threaded below it. This gets my
    juices going.

    I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here, unless it's something like this:

    From what I hear, mystic doesn't have such a 'forum' door. Is it
    possible to load such synchronet software on a mystic board? Or would I
    have to stand up a synchronet board alongside my mystic to enjoy this feature?

    Mystic does indeed have that same feature. Take a look at the "message index" reader thing, as I'm not sure it's a default setting or not. The menu item command would be 'MI - Message Index Reader', though.

    Hopefully that's something in the realm of what you were asking for, otherwise I just typed out a bunch of junk you didn't need. :)

    This may appear like a straight forward question but I have no
    experience as a sysop.

    Gotta learn somewhere, and you've come to the right place!

    Regards,
    Nick

    No. If you ever get a chance to connect to the following bbs's, they
    have examples

    Another Droid BBS - Ph0rum - andr01d.zapto.org - telnet 9999
    Archaic Binary BBS - forum - bbs.archaicbinary.net - ssh 22

    I'm sure there are many more.
