The first (very short-lived) "BBS" I ran was a self-modified Telix host script. It was fun to play with, but was very limiting and of course there were never any upstream improvements to integrated/benefit from, so with such a system, you're kind of on your own (unless it was designed to be extensible via plug-ins/mods).
