Title: BBS for the site

Wow, the site is really starting to take off.  Hats off to you, Lance.  Have you considered running a BBS which ties to this system? It would be pretty cool to be able to access the site from a telnet BBS as well.

It would be great to come up with a FIDONet type of echo system for Commodore BBSs and web forums.

Actually, yes :) I've been thinking though that it needs to be a REAL Commofdore BBS run on a real 128.

BUT! I wanna lay my hands on a hard drive for the beast & they are rare to non-existant in Australia.

Either that or run something via Vice maybe.

Actually, it's you guys that have driven it - I'm surprised that it has taken off so quickly - just shows, there was obviously a need (& besides, I'm heartily sick of all the C64 games sites :rolleyes:).

With a bit of luck, it might stimulate some interest in the oft-neglected 128 - what I really hope is that the interest is enough to start people writing for the machine again too (hence the coding comps we'll have here).

All considered with the small userbase, we're building quite an active little community, which I'm just a little bit proud of ;)
