BBS Door Registrations / Freeware reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Otherwise-Willow6904 · 2023-12-13 02:39 I have not updated the website in a while. I added around 30 games. Not too many surprises. Going through Doug's files is taking a lot of time. Some of the free BBSFiles.com keys don't work. It's nice he released generic keys for us to use, and nicer that people captured his file base before the Website disappeared. I have been in contact with several door authors. I probably spend too much time trying to track them down, (and some are surprised I found them). Some have agreed to release keys again, some have not. I ask for a generic key if possible, so we can experience the game as it was meant to be. Not too many want to release their creations to the world yet. The sad thing is, most of us who ran a BBS in the early 90's are probably getting a little long in the tooth, as they say. I have run across several obituaries for people I'm pretty sure was the door author I was looking for. It would be nice if the work of so many people was not lost. If you are someone who wrote door games and want to release the keys, key generators or even still offer key files. Please let me know. I'll be happy to include it on my list. If you have any key file generators or generic keys, released keys or whatever you wish to donate. Please let me know. This is the work of love; I do appreciate the work that went into so many games that were written. I hope the links work, if not go to bbs.foolsquarter.com You can find the files on my website: [The Fool's Quarter BBS](https://bbs.foolsquarter.com) Let me know if any of the links don't work for you, I tested them, but I get fat fingers when I type.

This will help keep history alive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ten-oh-four · 2023-12-13 07:02 Dude I love your website. Thanks for keeping this going. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wndrbr3d · 2023-12-13 13:36 It’s incredibly sad how much we’ll lose to time as a community, but I sincerely appreciate preservation efforts like yours!! Doug’s passing should have been a wake up call to people that our time here is brief but our efforts and what we gave to the world for a time can live on forever. Maybe it’s pride, I don’t know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Patient-Tech · 2023-12-13 15:09 Hopefully if it’s not there, he’ll put whatever he finds on archive.org. One day you may move onto other projects, and someone new can pick up from there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- byteknight6 · 2023-12-13 18:37 Great site and thank for all your work on this!
