Right; MASTER BOOT RECORD, the nerdcore rapper, has a bone stock Mystic board w/ dozens [or close] callers a day. :P

He does hide easter eggs there - when you buy an album each has a rabbit hole to go down and 'hack'...

Yea; Brian Lunduke ran the House of Lunduke for awhile; a VBBS board - but that seems to have been down for a few months now. Also, that Amiga guy Chris... who makes PiMiga; he runs an Amiga board still... Atlanta Data Image.

Yessir; I literally drool over several other BBSes, that I think are well beyond 2oFB IMO - but I don't mind that its become 'popular'... :P
