I have a pretty long list of favorites.  Since I started BBSing and
sysoping  back in the early 80s on the Apple // side of things, there have
been many systems that stood out.

One of the first on the PC side of the house that will always be held near
and dear is WWIV.  To me, WWIV started many other favorites and one of the
main reason I went with it back then was the ability to have the complete
source code once registered.  You can turn it into just about anything you
can imagine once you learned how to code.

That being said, I still run a highly modded classic WWIV system and always
will.  There are several other BBS packages that I really like.  Mystic
would have to be top of my list if I was starting out and wasn't running my
classic WWIV.  I have even considered running a second BBS using it and
still might.

So here is a list of some of my favorites:

WWIV, Mystic, Renegade, Oblivion/2, Vision/2, Celerity, Forum, Iniquity,
and Synchronet.
