I have quite a few favorite BBS software. I run Mystic because of the
simplicity of it. It does what I want a BBS to do and it does it well. It is
also easy on the eyes and can easily be made to look any way you want it to.

I also like Synchronet and would have not have to think twice about putting a
BBS online with Synchronet. I also like your editor for Synchronet. :)

MBSE is also on the list. It has the most robust mailer/ticer/tosser I have
seen. Mystic comes very close to this at this point and things FTN are on the
TODO list of Mystic.

There are others too but that is about the limit of my (recent)
experimentation with BBS software.
