After much deliberation, I have decided it best to split the primary / podcast website from the BBS.

Primarily this is due to not wanting to reinvent the wheel as far as the Podcast goes, I’ve used PowerPress since 2006 which does require WordPress. I thought about building out the podcast feed module on Synchronet to bring it up to Podcast 2.0 specifications, but there is much more behind the scenes that would make that more work than I could justify at this time.

This will also allow the creation of my overall plan to come to fruition a little easier too. The BBS will continue to run, but as a supplementary service to the primary mission of the website.

You can still access the BBS via https from the main menu. The main media/podcast will launch in the coming weeks.
