Reminds me of the few Iniquity & Obv/2 boards we had in the area at one time.

They ALL had scrollers, custom menus with custom Ansis everywhere.... all 
the same gang of callers, all the same noise in the message areas, all the 
same pirated warez, all the same doors... nothing really original.

The boards I did admire as original around here were ones ran by a crackpot
religous zealot... Ohhh mannnnn the bible this, the bible that, Jesus this, 
Jesus that... was entertainment in itself. Subsequently we also had a
self-described satanic board... another nutjob but slightly more personable.

Then there was the wannabe-Rusty-'n-Edie pornographer couple with their stock
TriBBS which they bragged at a local Sysop meetup was "the best software" and
never shut-up about it or their file section which really you could've found 
on other boards that didn't care about the whole age verification nonsense.

Ahh but my favourite was the Searchlight guy who deliberately took the modem
offhook to create the illusion of a busy board.
