    Ran a bbs for years using Spitfire, Wildcat and RemoteAccess.
    Found Synchronet for windows and got the bug again.

    Similar here. I started my original BBS in 1994; after trying several BBS software packages, I decided on RemoteAccess. I ran that BBS until 2000, when it seemed like BBSing was dead. In 2007, I was curious and searching for BBS stuff and found out about Jason Scott's "BBS: The Documentary"; I ordered a copy on DVD and watched that and felt really nostalgic. I found that BBSes were still running on the internet, and I decided to start running one again. Initially I started with EleBBS, since that's similar to RemoteAccess, but I eventually found Synchronet and decided on that.
