Nicely done! Will have to check those out. (Feel like I'm back in the 80's again.)

[number six]

I'm happy to see traditional boards still out there.

 

My board just turned 20 years last month. We're web based now.. tried the Telnet thing in the early 00s and while it worked for a time people kinda lost interest and activity bottomed out so we went to a web forum.

 

I am happy to see people still making it work with the original software. I used to telnet into some other WWIV boards there for awhile but I think most of those eventually died out unfortunately.

WWIV eh?

Been online since the early 80s. Running a highly modded WWIV

4.24 under VMware/eCommstation. (4) nodes via telnet.

 

These are supposedly checked automatically on a regular basis.

 

Now what I miss are the C-Net BBSs. I think those had the best system for Continue the Story boards and message writing. I am not seeing that any C-Net BBSs are active.

Edition 4: February 1st 2014

1) Qualifying boards must be running on actual hardware built prior to 1993, OR
2) Operating software originally coded prior to 1993 under emulation. An (*)
next to the board name signifies emulation.
3) All Telnet boards are port 23 unless otherwise noted after the hostname.
4) List will be updated "as needed"; so once every month, year, whatever.
Get the current one at:
http://tinyurl.com/VintageComputerBBSList
(document is shared publically so anyone can access it)
5) New additions since last update indicated by (NEW!) next to BBS name.
6) For best results, when telnetting to a Commodore BBS from a PC, use CGTerm.
This will allow you to view the excellent PETSCII graphics.
Get it at http://www.paradroid.net/cgterm
7) Similarly, when telnnetting to an Atari BBS from a PC, use the ATS 2.0
terminal emulator. You will be able to view ATASCII graphics which some
(but not all) of the Atari boards offer.
Get it at http://mousenet.radtkes.net/bbs/bbsmenu/bbs.htm
For additions to the list, corrections, suggestions, gripes etc email:
