Rebranded as an email server (more or less) but Citadel is one such
beast: http://citadel.org/doku.php

It's not "softwares" it's just "software" because it's an uncountable
quantity. Just like furniture you can't say "a furniture" or
"furnitures".

But in this case wouldn't it be 'active open source bbs softwares',
something which I bet is countable.

It's **never** "softwares". It's always "software".

> It's not "softwares"

Welp, there's
["2600"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2600:_The_Hacker_Quarterly)
type ["leetspeak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet)" which case it
could be "softwares." I've seen it around.

**2600: The Hacker Quarterly**

2600: The Hacker Quarterly is an American seasonal publication of
technical information and articles, many of which are written and
submitted by the readership, on a variety of subjects including
hacking, telephone switching systems, Internet protocols and services,
as well as general news concerning the computer "underground".

With origins in the phreaking community and late 20th century
counterculture, 2600 and its associated conference transitioned to
coverage of modern hacker culture, and the magazine has become a
platform for speaking out against increased digital surveillance and
advocacy of personal and digital freedoms.
