I registered on this forum for a couple of reasons. First I am interested in vintage computing, and second I thought it might be a good place to ask about BBS.
I missed out on the BBS era mainly because I was a little to young when it started, and didn't know about it when I got to an age that it might interest me in the early 90's when I was in my early teens. I know the general concept of BBS and have briefly connected to a couple over the past few days, but they seemed all but dead.
So purely out of interest/fun and as a bit of a learning experience I was looking to join a fairly active 'general purpose' (if such a thing even exists) BBS. I am in Scotland, if there are any active UK BBS, but as I will be accessing via Telnet it doesn't really matter where it's located. I'm stopping short of the truly authentic dial-up experience
Anything that has regular daily users, welcomes new users and functions as a mostly standard BBS (again, if such a thing exists not really sure of the technicalities and applications used) would be ideal.
I did a search before posting but either the thread was quite old or didn't have the info I was looking for.
