Any interest in having something like this around?

I have some domain names and hosting, wouldn’t mine throwing a
WordPress site together for this if there’s any interest at all.

I found it useful from time to time. Is it definitely gone this time?

Who knows? I have his contact info, but I don’t want to bug the guy
about it in case he’s got RL reasons for not being able to do it
anymore.

you can make a bbsmates with wordpress? i don't think they have a
template that can do all the stuff bbsmates did.

also, people haven't really used that site for over a decade.  most of
the value of it was all the data it amassed over the years

Wasn’t going for an exact replica (I couldn’t remember enough about it
to do that anyway) more just a place for people to archive and
connect. I always liked the section where people reminisced about
boards they called in certain area codes for example.

If no one is interested and/or thinks the idea sucks, that’s okay too.
I just had the extra resources and bandwidth to do it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

there's some bbs facebook groups and telegram groups. those probably
serve that purpose.

heard back from the admin of bbsmates. he will give me a further
update in a few days and i will update reddit.. not sure there is a
need to reinvent the wheel especially with all of the existing data
that exists on bbsmates.

he doesnt. he was running it from home and his inet connection has
been fucked up.

Guessing nothing ever came of this?    If the owner ever wanted
hosting I’m sure there are a ton of people that would happily step up
.  Me included.
