  Besides the big 2 (C-Net and Image BBS).  What was your favorite BBS program for the Commodore 8-Bit computer?

  On the commercial BBS side, I liked AABBS (Especially the 128 Version).  I never did like the sequencial message bases (WWIV style).  It made finding specific posts difficult.

  A BBS that I thought was interesting was ST/R bbs, which from the UI operated much like Image/C-Net.  It's main drawbacks were it not supporting 2400bps and the BASIC portion and P-Files (Yes it supported online games), were compiled based.  There was also no documentation on how to write online games for it.

  A weird fact about ST/R BBS, is if you decompiled the basic, the resulting BASIC was too big to fit in the C64's memeory. You could open it in 128, but I never could find a solution to recompile it.
