Is there a global list being maintained anywhere, of current and past
BBS's ?

Be interested to see the stats on software used etc :)

It’s funny you mention this. I was just looking for such a thing. And
some old ones, say, from the early 90’s to see if mine was listed!

The historical list looks like a huge FidoNet nodelist. But what a
stroll through memory lane!

It does, but it is cribbed from many sources and I think you can
manually submit any omissions.

That said, tracking down some old Fido nodelists is also a way of
looking into history.

Indeed. I saw many boards I frequently dialed up that weren’t Fido. I
guess I should have chose my words better.

I have thought of posting old Telnet BBS Guide lists for historical
purposes. I have lists going back to 1997. :)
