t311net bbs is a system, that from the first visit i did, caught my
attention. not because it's a bbs with the "coolest" ansi graphics, nor
because it has tons of files, nor because it has too many echonets etc...
but because it has all of them, in a balanced way and also some tricks on
its sleeves ;)

t311net, has some custom graphics made by the sysop himself gDm/GngrDr3dM4n.
all the graphics and menus may be simple, but it's obvious that the sysop
did give his attention to them. the bbs, it may seem like a default mystic
bbs board, but it's not. the sysop did customized many aspects of the board
and gave his unique character on it. it doesn't matter if it hasn't the
"coolest" from some ansi artist. for me t311net bbs is a terrific example,
on how you can make a good bbs, with not adding too much stuff, specially
ansi screens.

from what is shows gDm knows how to draw some really cool ascii screens!
simple but not simple! :) he uses lower ascii chars, which give a unique
style to the whole board. he doesn't mix ascii/ansi styles, he stays with
one and does a good job. you can really get the feeling of the bbs from the
very first screen and you know what to expect until the end/logout ;)

in this scrolling ascii art, he puts the header in the end of the scrolly
 and the screen seems ilke scrolling into the menu. gDm uses this in almost
 every menu and it's a very nice effect.

 before every menu, some nice ascii art screens appear. let's look some...

 the same looks are in every menu and things are consistent. the system may
 seem simple, but except the art you all ready have seen, it has a collection
 of features/mods, here and there, that add up to the system.

the system offers a collection of selected text files...

New Bulletins -> None
Command (?/List) ->

overall it's a very well balanced board, that describes in the best way,
what i was explaining about the "feel of a bbs" in a previous issue.

 you don't have to be an ansi artist to make a board "cool". with simple
things, some tricks here and there and a lot of work, a sysop can acomplish
to make a nice bbs, with no cost and lots of fun!

you can visit t311net bbs at: t311net.ddns.net:2323
