Björn,

Please download a telnettable BBS list and check out some of the Mystic and
Synchronet boards out there. Some of the ANSI art and the customizations
people have done recently is incredible. Mystic's MRC and Synchronet's IRC
chat are adding a real-time element to the mix, and many BBSes have a HTML
telnet client to let people log on from a web page, as well as (finally!)
having a usable web message forum built-in to the BBS.

There are 30 year-old BBS packages running out there, and I appreciate the
effort and nostalgia in logging into an Iniquity, Searchlight or Telegard
BBS - but I don't think those would be the first BBSes a new user would run
into.




... Do you ever wish you could forget?
