The place where Bulletin Board Systems live on!


Post / Comment Guidelines


Reminisce with The BBS Documentary, viewable online here.


Find one of hundreds of BBSes running today using the lists found at The Telnet BBS Guide, BBS Guide, or IPTIA BBS Resource Site.


You will want to use a proper BBS compatible terminal to get the full experience: SyncTERM ^(win,mac,lin), Netrunner ^(win/lin), or mTelnet ^(win,os2)


Find oodles of software, text files, and people at The BBS Archives and The BBS Corner.


Create your own BBS with DayDream, EleBBS, Maximus, ENIGMA½, Mystic BBS, Renegade, Synchronet, or x/84.


fTelnet and HtmlTerm are Flash and HTML 5 telnet clients for access to BBSes via the web should you decide to start your own BBS.

If you are a SysOp or if you want your favorite BBS/Resource in the sidebar, drop one of the mods a line, and one will check it out. Please give the complete telnet address of the BBS so we can log in.

I've been getting into cracking DOS software, focusing on BBS software, doors, utilities, etc. My latest project is a keygen (registration # and key file generator) for SuperBBS 1.17-3. I understand that, like a lot of BBS software, the source code and registration tools for SuperBBS were lost to time. You can download SuperBBS 1.17-3 from Jason Scott's BBS Documentary website: http://software.bbsdocumentary.com/IBM/DOS/SUPERBBS/

The keygen 'SBBSKEY2.ZIP' is available for download in file area 4 (cracks) of Another Millennium BBS, another.tel port 23.

SuperBBS 1.17-3 KEYGENv2 by akacastor 2024-04-10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SBBS-KEY keygen will generate a registration number to enter in CONFIG and
a .SCC file that must be placed in the SBBS directory.


You _MUST_ do _BOTH_ of:

1) Enter Sysop Name, BBS Name, and Reg # under Registration in CONFIG.

and

2) Place the generated .SCC file in your SBBS directory (where BBS.EXE lives).


The timestamp of the .SCC file cannot be altered!  SuperBBS includes the .SCC
file timestamp in its verification checks.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

usage: SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"

NOTE - don't forget the quotes around each name!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

example:

C:\CRACKS>SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"

For anyone interested in seeing SuperBBS - there is a BBS 'The Lower Planes' at tlp.zapto.org (BBS on port 6502) that claims to be the only SuperBBS in the world.
