Ive was thinking about this topic about a month ago and it fell short because I dont have much time these days. This is really cool though people are rocking out the old school BBS's again. I dont know if I will be building one but I am definitely going to check some out. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.

Wikipedia's WWIV entry says WWIV was popular with hacker and pirate boards back in the day. Was this true? Why did they prefer it?


it was just popular in general but yea the hacker & pirate scene grabed onto it for the source back then you didnt get source to many other bbs softwares & you can be sure there was alot of them that pirated the source to WWIV


the irony here is that WWIV is now opensource lol

i registered back in the day a whole $80 & im still useing it to this day so i think 15 years of service out of 1 software package is worth $80 dont you?
