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.              Nightfox              ---        þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
