Hello there! i run the website/bbs/etc at eob-bbs.com and i'd have to say, bbses are NOT dead they may be in some zombie form of undead though!

Most bbs softwares of today are an all-in-one viable free alternative to web/nntp/telnet/ssh/webforums/webmail/email/gopher/finger/rlogin servers.

Since the mid nineties we've connected our bbses to the internet and they
are accessible via telnet [and god knows what else]

Not only THAT, but they are maintained frequently and the authors are easy to contact.

BBSes are extremely popular in other parts of the world where email access is sparse [russia] or the internet is overly regulated [china].

It's my feeling that bbsing will come back into popularity when regulations from the various governments overstep their bounds, and people will search for safe alternatives to email/filesharing.

i setup a myspace site at http://www.myspace.com/bbses

there are some[but not all] ]http://theroughnecks.net/Downloads.aspx[/url]

they support ansi and other emulations and zmodem downloads.

Great website you guys have here, and pascal is not dead either!
