   Um, the Pi is just perfect for running a bbs. And if it weren't for QEMU and   
   DOS door games, I'd run my MBSE system (open to the public january 1st, 2019)   
   on a Pi 1. MBSE does not cause heavy load and if you tar-gzip you bbs every   
   night and copy it to a usb stick, you are quite safe with regards to the sd   
   card. at least this is what the new Wintermute BBS will be made of.   
      
   The "old" Wintermute BBS (the current one) ran Synchronet for 10 years   
   with only three downtimes to replace a dead sd card.
