I did not see this site listed here, so I thought I'd post it.

First, this web site is a BBS directory with a whopping 1690+ listed
BBSes. The site regularly verifies that these BBSs are online. You can
connect to these BBSs through the site's web client. There is also a
nice Fidonet historical view with a graphical representation of the
number of Fidonet BBSs between 1984 and 2020.

There's also message archives and ansi pic archives too.

Check it out by visiting  [https://www.ipingthereforeiam.com/bbs/](htt

So, he has a nice effort, running newer software that supports TLS 1.2
security, and more.

​

Thumbs up for the effort... who cares where the list(s) come from?! My
terminal comes with the latest copy of systems from Telnet BBS Guide,
no one is complaining about the fact they have over 600 systems to
start with...
