    The official SyncTERM support is at sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/support

    Digital Man,
    I was able to get it without support. For some reason, SyncTerm did not
    like my gotoxy ansi escape codes to move the cursor. Netrunner worked fine
    but syncterm didnt. I move to cursor positioning ansi and it seemed to work better. I think it was a CRLF issue with gotoxy escape codes.

    In summary, while it's technically possible to create AI users within a BBS system, it would be a complex and time-consuming process. It may also raise ethical concerns that would need to be addressed.

    I did it in a few hours, although to be fair OpenAI did like 99.999999999% of the work.

    so if you create a few to do conversation starters and then have another few to answer the questions, would it eventually degenerate into an explosion of polite parroting?

    I've seen it get repetitive, so if it got stuck in a loop with another instance of itself it would probably be horrendous. I imagine someone else has tried. Maybe they have safeguards in place to prevent it.

    I won't be trying; the API is dirt cheap but costs money, and I've set a low monthly spending limit. A loop like that would eat up the budget in a hurry. (Hasn't even cost me a penny yet though, and I've run a bunch of stuff through it.)
