In Issue #24, we ourselves were quite surprised to find, that in 2021 the BBS boxes are still not dead yet. 

That's good. That’s great. That’s awesome!

In principle also obvious, if one assumes that bulletin board implementations are naturally outstanding suitable for Telnet or SSH connections. And therefore each system with a halfway capable terminal should be usable for a BBS connection.

Whether you want to see BBS’ as the predecessor of the modern WWW or not, they still have a very special charm. And especially charming is the fact that people like the 8-Bit Boyz still care about the topic, and have compiled and maintain a whole list of currently available BBS on various topics.

Currently there are 127 BBS in the list, and there should be something for pretty much every taste. Whether nostalgia or curiosity - both are valid drivers for a few experiments with this ancient and lovely technology.
