Most active BBSes and BBSes with most/best doors reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- poopootoad · 2017-10-19 12:52 Fairly self-explanatory. For the first I am looking for BBSes where the messages aren't all from like 2013 and in the other instance I am looking for quantity and quality of doors. Ultimately, use your own judgment but I like strategy and RPG genres most. (I never really figured out Tradewars though.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FozzTexx · 2017-10-19 18:02 The official BBS of /r/RetroBattlestations is pretty active: http://bbs.retrobattlestations.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2017-10-19 18:19 Some of this is semi-irrelevant in a way due to message networks and door servers. For example, my board probably averages maybe ~5 unique visitors a day, but I'm connected to multiple message networks so there is a lot of activity (often hundreds of messages) and the system is connected to multiple door servers. Said door servers have other boards connected as well so the player base is much larger than any single board would have in this day in age. ...and that exposes a **ton** of doors. https://l33t.codes/vtx/xibalba.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2017-10-19 21:54 Hey! What web terminal is that? Looks awesome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NuSkooler · 2017-10-19 22:10 VTX -- and yes, it's awesome! Support all the ANSI-BBS type sequences along with VT100 + a ton of extended stuff such like hyperlinks, many code pages including ATASCII and PETSCII, etc. codewar65 is a beast! https://github.com/codewar65/VTX_ClientServer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2017-10-20 04:23 I'd love for you to check out our new door games (they're in the adventure/rpg style). Either at our bbs (we're pretty damn active daily) bitsunrise.com (under the games menu, the BCR games server) or by visiting xibalba or alcoholiday or Under a black flag - they all carry the server! Long live door games! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2017-10-20 04:24 I have to get this setup on the web side of my bbs's --- it rules hard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DavidJohnYVR · 2017-10-23 03:04 Twinkle BBS just reopened to the public and pequito is very active on it and really inovative, its probbally one of the sleekest bbses out there and for each door it shows when it was last played so you can play active games. twinklebbs.net:23 another good bbs i like is Alcoholiday, its fairly active too Alco.bbs.io:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mro_1337 · 2017-10-23 03:15 let me cut through the bbs advertisements from the guys that want you to call..... We all pretty much get **the same activity** if the bbs has been established for a year or more and we keep our systems up. most of us have the same doorgames. usually msg bases get posts every once in a while on networked msg bases. furthermore, sometimes the most doors are not a good thing. it can be quite overwhelming go go through 10 pages of doorgame selections. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- athen66 · 2017-10-26 19:20 I currently have my BBS (http://bbs.kiwi.net) linked up to BBSlink so LORD, BRE, TW2002, Global War, etc. are all shared between at least a dozen other boards. There are around 30 active users playing LORD currently. Also pulling down FidoNet, FSXNet and AgoraNet - which are all active. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2017-11-02 22:27 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2017-11-06 03:49 Guardian of Forever carries the server, too.
