Come check out my BBS running on a OnePlus 6T - fully working with
door games, message networks and even MRC!

Here's a sneaky preview of the login screen! Just telnet to
[pimpbbs.erb.pw](https://pimpbbs.erb.pw) on port 18023 and you'll have
access to possibly the most outrageously located BBS in the world,
maybe.

(I also have another BBS, which is located in a less outrageous
location).

No pocket fluff was harmed in the making of this BBS.

That’s cool! I hope it’s running as a restricted user!!

It's running in it's own locked away environment, with no access to
any "phone" stuff =)

Can phones interact with it as well, or does that part require a
keyboard?

On Android you can connect to it with termux

on an android phone, you could install JuiceSSH - which can telnet as
well as ssh, and has ansi support (kinda), the keyboard is the better
of the android clients I have tested, but I don't really like to BBS
on the phone, a tablet is better, and from a desktop pc or laptop is a
much more satisfying experience imho.
