Someone mentioned that there used to be a YOSPOS BBS in the Telehack thread recently, and I think it's a pretty cool idea. I've been on a few BBSes before, and considered setting my own up, but that'd be a huge pain in the rear end of renting a VPS to run it off while having no income, and then finding someone to do all the art for it (because gently caress trying to do that myself, I'm bad enough at regular art). So, I guess I'm making this thread to draw attention to it, maybe someone else'll feel like setting one up, maybe I'll manage to get around to setting one up, who knows.

jonny290 historically hosted the YOSBBSs of the past (and big thanks to you jonny, YOSBBS really helped me through one of the shittier jobs of my life) but synchronet is free software so really anyone could do one up

I'll pay for a small digitalocean VPS for a couple of months if you're okay with me retaining root on it (i'll help as I can but will let you drive the project)

cool. lets start with the little single core instance, i run a whole rear end web server on one. I'll PM you after i have some time to set it up. also be aware of https://enigma-bbs.github.io/ - modern code old idea our big challenge will be getting the bbs games working, from my previous experience. dosbox fuckery will be involved

well ive never hosed around with running a BBS before and i have no idea how the art manages to integrate with the menus but i guess ill figure that out once i get to setting poo poo up may even try and make some art (i remember seeing some kind of art tool on another board i was on)
