This event began 01/01/2023 and repeats every year forever
In January 1984, the Boot Factory Atari BBS goes online for the first time. Boot Factory has undergone many changes over the years including a version that was run on a PC. Today, it is an Atari 8 bit BBS running BBS Express Pro!. SysOp Abdul acquired the BBS Express Pro! software from his friend, Keith Ledbetter. Ledbetter had shut down his BBS after he sold the rights of the BBS Express Pro! software. Abdul did not do anything with Keith's old BBS until 1999 when he resurrected the BBS as a telnet/Internet based BBS. He made the BBS his own by renaming it Boot Factory 2K+ (or simply BF2K+). Despite the name change, many of the original message bases and file downloads have been preserved. You can check out the BBS today by connecting to bfbbs.no-ip.com port 8888 with your favorite term program (both telnet and raw connections are supported).
