amoungs the ususal

www.bbsfiles.com <- go here and see what's up with different abondon software
                    and if they are found or not.  Request someone and the
                    guy running it will try to find out for you.
www.bbsfinder.com       <- Sort of a bbs list with a shoutcast twist
                           bbs's have to update the listting every
                           5 min's to let them know they are still up and 
                           running
www.bbsmates.com        <- About old board and users of them come to meet.
www.bbscrawler.com      <- google based bbs search amoung other tings.
www.search.bbs.us       <- bbs only related index search system / bot
www.sixteencolors.net   <- ansi/ascii archive website
www.archives.thebbs.net <- check the news archive
-[my current project]-
www.bbsindexfiles.com   <- As soon as this is done will be a searchable
                           file index of what bbs has what and the telnet
                           url of that bbs.

Anyone else that would like to add on to this?  Looking for BBS related
stuff that has been put up after 1996 to help further the bbs timeline.
