Is there any free (full) BBS themes?

I know that AnsiGarden exists, but i'm looking for something free.

I'm sure there are some drop in themes but you can use
https://16colo.rs to find theme/theme components

Did you check the "freebies" filter at AnsiGarden?

I encourage you to either try your hand at creating ANSI or commission
an ANSI group to create screens for your bbs. There are active groups
out there and I see custom screens from them frequently.

Going easy mode when customizing a bbs kindof defeats the purpose,
imo.

Wouldn't that count as theft though? People can't really just take
from 16colo.rs and use them surely? I'm sure some artists would be
okay with it, but contacting them for permission is a bit difficult if
you don't have their contact details

Most of them say if you can use the theme or not.

Yes, it wasn't really what I was looking for. That's why I wiped it
off my list, but I think I'll have a look at this
"[16color.rs](https://16color.rs)" site.

There aren't that many there that are generic for anyone to use.

The Vast majority are going to be ANSIs that were made for someone
else's board and I wouldn't use those - especially anything from the
last 5-10 years since those boards are going to still be up or at
least known.

Your best bet would be to log into one of the ANSI group Discord
servers and ask for a menu screen. Most have a few guys that will do
something simple for free and you'll have something custom. Tossing
them a few bucks for their time if you feel so inclined would be
appreciated.
