   EO> I'm just curious what everyone's favorite BBS software is? It's not my   
   EO> intent to start a flame war/argument, I'm just curious what BBS software   
   EO> you like and why. I've been running Synchronet (in Windows) since 2007,   
      
   I have a pretty long list of favorites.  Since I started BBSing and sysoping    
   back in the early 80s on the Apple // side of things, there have been many   
   systems that stood out.   
      
   One of the first on the PC side of the house that will always be held near and   
   dear is WWIV.  To me, WWIV started many other favorites and one of the main   
   reason I went with it back then was the ability to have the complete source   
   code once registered.  You can turn it into just about anything you can   
   imagine once you learned how to code.   
      
   That being said, I still run a highly modded classic WWIV system and always   
   will.  There are several other BBS packages that I really like.  Mystic would   
   have to be top of my list if I was starting out and wasn't running my classic   
   WWIV.  I have even considered running a second BBS using it and still might.   
      
   So here is a list of some of my favorites:   
      
   WWIV, Mystic, Renegade, Oblivion/2, Vision/2, Celerity, Forum, Iniquity, and   
   Synchronet.
