Title: Keeping the BBS scene alive
Post by: xlar54 on September 21, 2008, 06:48 AM
Hey guys,
Ive added some links to the Links section for telnet BBSs.  If you have more you'd like to have added, just reply here. These were from an older list and are verified as of today.

I submitted a new link to the Commodore BBS Outpost (http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com), which is the best resourse to find active Commodore-run BBS's.  Looks like the link needs to be approved before it'll show up in the Links section.

Approved it, thanks... that's actually a pretty good site too. 

I would encourage folks to give these guys a call periodically.  Mine is up there (commodoreworld) as well, but mine is running via VICE.  Its a great project, but I have mixed feelings about this, and would rather folks support those who run on real hardware. (Cost of running, etc).  Just seems fair to me.  But its out there.  Plain vanilla right now, but Ill add more as time goes on.

Ooo.. My name in lights!  Thanks!  ;)

And I'll try to give your BBS a call...  I try to make my rounds to all the BBS's farily regularly.  I was "out of it" for several months due to other things going on in my life, but I'm getting back "into it" now.  :)

Is Digital Dial a Commodore (PETSCII) BBS? I know Switchblade's other board is. Just curious.

I'm not sure...  But if it's not, then it should probably be removed from the list.  Isn't DiversiDial (aka D-dial) an Apple thing?  Of course, Spriggly already expanded the list from an Image BBS list to a Commodore BBS list...  Maybe the next logical step is to just make it a Vintage Computer BBS List.  ;)
