Finally working again, but users should be aware that this board is
running pirated software.

Edit: Downvoted?  MajorBBS is still available, and is quite
affordable.  Piracy at this point is weak, and only further hurts the
hobby.  You can email questman@themajorbbs.com to get a license for a
reasonable deal.  There is no reason to run pirated MajorBBS at this
point, especially considering the quality of modern packages like
Synchronet.

dude you are so full of shit. hurting the hobby? bbses were about
sharing files from the get-go.

furthermore "questman" may not even be the rightful owner of majorbbs.

But he is, bought up the rights to it years ago.

that's what he said.  but then netvillage bought rights to it as well.
and also the owner's life was a mess and who knows whats what.   so
basically questman and netvillage SAY they own the rights.  questman
wont sue netvillage for some reason.  so it's extremely fishy.
Just because Rick Hadsall SAYS he owns something that is very obscure
and possibly unverifiable either way, it does not make him the owner.
the status is undetermined.

I'd say if there is anything "hurting the hobby" in the BBS world as-
is, it's people holding on to licenses and "rights" for abandon ware
and the like. Additionally you have some individuals still trying to
sell licenses for similar things in the hundreds or thousands of
dollars. It's a joke.

I'm stating this in a general sense. I don't know the details about
MajorBBS, but their likely irrelevant.
