Any old timer BBS users out there?

[ChoSanJuan]

Who is interested in:

• That old look and feel of chunky ANSI/ASCII graphics?
• The reverence of the title Sysop?
• Door games and MUDS?
• The squelch of the 56k connection noise over your phone?
• Telling your parents that you are using the phone and don't pick it up?

OK, so not the last 2 things... But this is why we are pretty much all on some sort of broadband now, right? But why do we need to not hit up that part right in the feels? For me it's that 3rd bullet point. I want to start up a MCB-centric BBS where us old timers can go and play some cool old games via Telnet. If there is enough feedback, I'll spin one up and get it all running. My hope is to do this as minimally as possible without sacrificing performance if a good portion of us are hitting the server. While I've got quite a few spare crappy old laptops I can use as a headless linux install, I'll probably just throw it on a Raspberry Pi 3b+.

Technical stuff aside, WHO IS INTERESTED?

You had me at Telnet. What's better than being nostalgic and returning to one's roots, but with the added bonus of NOT having the last two bullets points? Not much. Count me in.
