   Favorite BBS software

   I'm just curious what everyone's favorite BBS software is?  It's not my    
   intent to start a flame war/argument, I'm just curious what BBS software you   
   like and why.  I've been running Synchronet (in Windows) since 2007, and   
   although I like it, I've started to get curious about other BBS software and   
   what advantages/disadvantages they might offer over Synchronet.  Mystic seems   
   popular, and I keep thinking I'd like to give that a try.  I know there are   
   people who dislike Mystic though (for various reasons which I don't remember   
   offhand).   
      
   I've considered eventually moving my BBS to Linux (although not likely any   
   time soon), and I've heard Synchronet has some support for using DOSEMU for   
   16-bit DOS doors, which could make that a bit easier.  When I started running   
   a BBS again, I initially started with EleBBS since EleBBS is a clone of   
   RemoteAccess, which I used in the 90s.  I eventually decided on Synchronet   
   though, due to an issue I was running into with EleBBS.  Also, it looks like   
   EleBBS hasn't been maintained in years - I'm not sure if EleBBS has been   
   abandoned..
