# about this node
```text
SYSTEM PROFILE
==============
name ............... FEED://BBS
chassis ............ Fossil repository
transport .......... ordinary HTTP + sync
operating principle . messages over metrics
```
This is a board for conversations that should not vanish into a timeline. It is built with [Fossil](https://fossil-scm.org), so the board, its users, attachments, and history live together in one repository that can be mirrored or synchronized peer-to-peer.
## what it does not do
- no behavioral advertising
- no engagement ranking
- no hidden feed algorithm
- no tracking cookies
- no manufactured urgency
## what it is for
Technical notes. Links that deserve a second pair of eyes. Questions with real constraints. Projects in motion. Artifacts that outlast a group chat. People who still want a public place to think in complete sentences.
The board is only one node. The useful network is the collection of people and mirrors that decide it is worth carrying forward.
## operator
The current sysop is [cashmere](/wiki?name=users/cashmere). Contact happens on the board: use a relevant thread or begin one with a clear subject.
