Garda Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 What are today's BBSes? It is my understanding that BBSes aren't really around anymore. (let me know if I'm wrong about this) They were a forum for a certain geeky subculture. What are people doing nowadays that used to be done on a BBS. Are forums like this it? Have BBSes gone mainstream now and they're just called Twitter and Facebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Fidonet is still around as far as I know, and the oldest living BBS. the website isn't updated, but I think you can still find mirrors for dial up nodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtp Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I used to have an OBV/2 board which was based on WWiV, also my own network for packet msgs. I looked at making another one but they seem to be all based on Telnet now. Dial-up is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
